“We need more ammunition. Let’s go to the supermarket.” Is a very American thing to say.
Lol my grocery store has a gun store in it bought my Beretta Storm from there a few days ago got lots of cool stuff in it.
Yeah, try doing that in CANADA where firearms aren't even available to the general public!
@@semajniomet981 they used to be until they traded freedom for a false sense of security. You can't even defend your home there from robbers my Canadian friend talked to me about it and said if you shoot someone trying to hurt or rob you you're better off burying the body out in the country otherwise you'll be arrested and thrown in prison.

Nice
I think people would be more of a threat than zombies. At least with zombies it’s a singular goal but with people you don’t know what could be going on in their heads.
aka the walking dead
The walkers are predictable. People aren't.
I dunno.. think I'd still rather deal with human frailties than 🧟♂️ RUNNING piece of dead flesh that wants to eat me.
thats a fact.... people are more dangerous as our minds...
Not really
Going at the very top of a building in a zombie apocalypse is actually a bad idea since your only escape logically is blocked, so basically you just trapped yourself so I suggest you find a near the ground level building or in a building with just a little bit of height so that you can have a overview and also barracade some exits but not all of them just the obvious ones where some people and zombies would probably wander around in, so that you have a emergency escape exit and well-built safehouse
3 floors max with at least 4 exits
The alternative is to follow Zombieland's rules: When in doubt, Know your way out. Maybe have a walkway or zipline to another roof as emergency egress. Even a window wash trolley might help.
Just water bucket clutch.

Honestly, I really like the “realistic” zombie apocalypse scenarios - but the funny thing is that humans are genuinely quite good at staying alive 😂 the more realistic the zombie invasion is, the less scary it gets; we’re a resourceful lot, and dear god is our species good at killing things. We forget it a lot in the modern day, but get a load of guys together and get them decently armed, and they’re a decent match for quite a lot 😂
Yeah true dat
Concrete wall
You have to remember that it is still an epidemic after all and the virus could even be airborne, I think it would not be the end of the world but many people would die
Another thing that people forget is a group of 5 guys against 30 zombies still take more zombies out than the bring in
Also people would notice before it got too crazy. Someone would notice the plague and report it and then it would be researched. Before it could spread across one border, people would prepare.
Pretty sure I'd like to go solo, the largest weak link is trusting a person who isn't mentally prepared or unstable leaving you or your safe zone vulnerable. Maybe you can maintain a small group of less than 5, much more and its too many variables
You need someone for zombie bait when you get into those bad situations. Might i suggest the guy down the street you don't like very well.
@@genkidamatrunks6759 now that’s a Negan thing to do 😂
I tend to agree as long as I was prepared to be a lone survivalist. Other people will be as much a threat as any zombies.
Spending 2 years as hermit in Alaska would defently leave mark on mental health. 2-3 companions would be great chocie. Also if you got a cold or injury you know you dont starve/freeze to death when you are not able to fish/hunt/father.
@Matthew Belamont i wouldn't even trust most of my family tbh
The most dangerous factor in a zombie apocalypse (or any apocalypse) is fear. Fighting the zombies is pretty straightforward. Dealing with the collapsed goods and services and learning how to survive by your own means is the real challenge.
did you ever walked the streets in night, where no-one is around anymore? When streets are empty and you look around and experience the possible dread of moving around because how efin scary it feels to do just that
What we do when our family member turn into zombie like in the movies 🍿? Is there a way to save them?
@@meggtokyodelicious Capture a spunky girl with an immunity gene and have her escorted to a medical facility to make the cure. Just not by Joel. That won't go well.
does all this experience come from the movies and series or from personal experience?
@Age of Doom Actually somewhat from personal experience, yes. The pandemic taught me that mild inconveniences cause people to go bonkers, rip off the silk handcuffs that keep us civil and start free-for-all looting. Because of toilet paper. What if the water system goes down for a week? The electrical grid? Food can't be delivered to the grocery stores? Just extrapolate outwards for a "real" apocalypse and it's not a pretty picture. What's the phrase? "Every society is three meals away from chaos?"
I believe iceland is the safest place for a zombie apocalypse. 1. It’s the furthest from all land, meaning it cant be seen from any other land. Zombies wouldn’t know that it exists. 2. Even if the zombies did find out about iceland, it’s pretty likely that they cant swim so you’re still safe.
One thing thou zombie’s are walking corpses and they rott which mean they eventually die but if they go somewhere cold they rott a lot slower which means Iceland would be infested longer
@@meganbroomhall6013 yes but it’s very likely that zombies will never enter iceland since they wouldn’t even know that it exists
What if previously landed planes transported the disease from another country
@@Magicalspud that would probably happen
Tienes razón aunque lo más probable esque las personas infectadas al comienzo viajen hacia eso o tros lugares para salvarse y Haci contagian todo
Pro tip: heading for the hills is a good idea, but before going take a look outside (through a window). If there is a panicking crowd/people boarding there houses, it is a good idea to cautiously head for the hills. But if a bunch of people have hiking gear, it is not a good idea. Also check the news, if the government is telling people to go to the hills, stay. This is because if everyone has the same idea, the hills will be packed, humans will be humans and fight over resources, and zombies are gonna follow that big crowd of food.
in the end it is almost better all stay home like covid, because in the first hours, zombies numbers are so little that army or cops can handle with them, the problem are the government arrive to to late to informe people because never had a problem, all time government denies some sort of problem..
I feel like this guide would be a lot more helpful if it didn’t treat the zombie apocalypse as an instantaneous “chaos on the streets on day one” event. There *has* to be some kind of buildup, how hospitals will be overwhelmed with bite victims, police will be more active, the news will mistake it for a normal flu infection, etc…
Exactly. I honestly don’t think zombies could ever be an issue because the build up would be too slow. Police, gun owners (both illegal and legal), and the military once they get word of what’s happening can respond and start taking out large chunks of the population who are zombies very quickly and get ahead of things.
But there will always be selfish people who will make it way worse
@@xJDMWaRRi0Rx Would the zombies become a major threat if they ran fast, but had a slow-ish turning time? Like, they have near-superhuman speed, but it takes about 4-8 hours for a bitten human to turn.
@@jordythecat7181 still I’d say no if we’re talking about a build up where there’s a patient 0 and it spreads from a single infected person then to the next and to the next. We could easily get on top of that situation even with the superhuman speed. But if you wanna do a scenario where some supernatural event happens that turns all dead people into zombies with superhuman speed who also spread the infection though bites or whatever, then that’ll be a problem
@@xJDMWaRRi0Rx What if the infection was airborne? Would a zombie virus be able to become a civilization-ending threat if it was airborne, even if it started from a single person?
You know, this sort of scenario always takes place in the U.S. I'd like to see versions of other countries as well, especially where freezing the zombies isn't an option.
There’s plenty of places in the US where it doesn’t freeze
Yeah if this happened in a densely populated place in say China or India... It would be faaaar worse than the US...
Retreat to an island. It is possible to clear an island of zombies and have a safe haven.

One thing people don't think of is adding a date to your emergency marker. If you just put SOS, or HELP, something like that, how do they know you're not already toast? You could have gotten killed weeks ago. You lay out SOS 7/14/23, they know you're still up as of that date. Not just for zombies, but natural disasters. People will be much more willing to make the effort if they know you updated your sign today.

Yep because it is never gonna happen. I'm in on the joke though I suppose.
@@TheTonyahawk yeah the institute of human atanomy made a vid on why zombies are impossible It has the comon things like viruses etc that can start an outbreak you should check it out
Its also the only extinction event i absolutely love the idea of really happening. Along with probably millions of others. Sadly you’re right tho the zombies would get squashed extremely quickly

There was a major point missed. That is, raiding pharmacies for essential drugs like antibiotics and painkillers. Also some surgical equipment.
Some box stores do have pharmacies like Walmart but yeah
@@justkittensbeingkittens5892 Even prescription drugs? Opioids, wide spectrum antibiotics? Sorry Im from India and we don’t have Walmart.
@@caelum2185 Raid the library for medical books, including medication books. If not the library, then a college with a medical class, pharmacy, etc. You can also use veterinary drugs, at least antibiotics. I know they like to say it's not safe, but really they're the same things we take, made on the same lines with the same stringent clean room setup. Clean bandages, basic OTC meds like acetaminophen, asprin, ibueprofen, pain meds, etc. All help us more than we know. There's parts of the world where people all too often die because they simply can't get stuff like OTC meds we take for basic headaches. Most meds are good at least ten years past sell date, but the longer past date there is a degradation of content. Meaning you might have to take more for the same effect.
@@OutlawCaliber13 dude ikr, im a doctor lol
There were so many points missed and over looked it's painful
The most important question in a zombie apocalypse scenario is this : When a body becomes reanimated, does the process of decomposition continue, or does it stop? If it continues, within a short span of time most would simply rot until they fell into a pile of bones and goo. In hotter areas they would rot much more quickly, where it was cold a bit slower, but still within months they too would rot to the point where they were no longer a threat. If the process of decomposition stops then the threat is going to continue for much longer. You touched on some of these points.
In two weeks or less zombies would lose enough weight that they would be pants around their ankles Shuffle
If they're more "living zombies" ala rage virus from 28 Days Later, then there's also dehydration and starvation. Unless they have the intelligence to find water, they'll eventually die off, especially since for some reason many of zombies in movies never seem to cannibalize each other. So best case, you either wait out for rescue, or you wait for the zombies to die out.
you're a genius and hopefully zombies would actually decay bc us humans would need an advantage at this point😭
the major point, is like malthus for zombies, in first day many turn in to zombies but arrive a moment that zombies have no more "food" and decline, die for starvation and desapear, or eat each other and desapear..
depends on which type of zombie; if we're talking Zombie Survival Guide type (and that's the only one I recognize), the zombie virus sort of preserves the body to some extent. the "life span" of a zombie in that case would be about 2-5 yrs.
As someone who lives in a tropical country side near a mountain, I think my odds of surviving a zombie apocalypse is higher. I can just go up on the mountain together with my relatives and build a small community there. We can grow crops in order to be self-sufficient. The mountain itself and vegetation will serve as a natural barrier against the zombies. Random stragglers that was able to wander on the mountains by chance be easily dealt with. Being on a densely populated city is a nightmare for this kind of apocalypse.
Everyone's happy & excited about a zombie apocalypse till someone from their own family turns into one.
Yo, I don't really care
wouldnt matter much at that point as survival of the fittest is imperative. They got turned zombie then infortunately they werent fit to survive. If such events happened it would be wise to change your own mentality if you want to make it as any sort of hinderance even mental decreases your chances
@AidenDM ay fax
Or yourself, at that point prey you immune lol.
@@brineoconnor7491 LOL
The rate of decay would be greatly increased by movement. Therefore causing the walking corpses to break down much faster (especially if they're the kind of living dead that run) than if they were just lying still like corpses are supposed to do. Most of them would be decayed beyond mobility within a month.
That’s assuming they’re corpses, if it’s a parasite or something that controls the brain it’s a different storu
Doesn’t matter if a parasite the body will decompose because it won’t eat or drink so no mineral amd stuff like that so it will decompose over time
@@johnziegler7105 weather
@@johnziegler7105 Exactly. Or the virus could be some kind that "kills" you, but for whatever reason stops or slows the body from decaying 🤷♂️

I really enjoyed this video, and i imagine most people who enjoyed this video want to know how a more "down to earth" zombie experience would be, theres this survival game called "project zomboid" which, instead of its peers, actually shows how a regular citizen would "survive" in a zombie apocalipse, its brutally hard (every run starts with "this is how you died") but its the most accurate out of them all, for example, for most players using guns is rather worthless, due to them attracting way more zombies than you can fend off, its truly a very accurate experience to what would happen in real life.
Yoo! I love Zomboid exactly because of that, it's suuuuuper realistic
@@agentpapayatree the mall is so full of them. and even with many ammunition the zombie is just keep coming until our weapon is jammed or overwhelm us.
Yep! I just started playing it, and it’s reeeeally hard. But I’m hoping to get better so that maybe I’ll learn some skills for real life, just in case haha
If the office tower that you’re in has any paper cutters, you could take the metal part off of it and use that as a melee weapon.
As a storm drainage worker, the sewage, or underground rain water lines, may be filled with Co2, or any Lower Explosive Limit gases. There's also blind drops, could even be multiple feet down, pipe size changes (Ran lines that go from 6 inches to 8 ft), debris, wild animals. So if people need to go in those underground systems, to be careful, mind what their body is telling them. Aa gas monitor helps a lot along with a flashlight. If you somehow get into an actual sewage line, you're like 6 inches or smaller, they're >usually< small lines that don't take up most space in the middle of the streets.
Hmm
Would birds work? Miner used little birds in mines to check with poinous gases
@@Morganaplays That's a possibility, but if I recall it was just for carbon monoxide, so if you ran into things like methane, propane, etc. I'm not so sure how well a bird would work. Gasoline would be the big one since it could be abundant given how many wrecks that would be on the roadways seeping into the drainage system.
@@P1pXanadu hmm thanks for reply

You can cut plastic bottles in half ( vertically ), duct tape the exterior part and use them as light armor for your arms and legs...obviously not effective against a hoard of zombies or against fast/strong ones, but 1 vs 1 it may save you from one mistake/accident or at least buy a few seconds if it tries to bite your arm/leg. LE: I specifically said LIGHT ARMOR as in protection against teeth scratching your skin and avoiding infection from superficial wounds or at least allowing their teeth to slip and not have perfect grip while trying to bite you.I did not say for one second that this is impenetrable.
Nice! I like that way better than magazines 👍
One small problem plastic bottles make crazy amounts of noise when squished
Yeah this is a good idea plastic is pretty hard to bite through BUT as jeiku said the human jaw strength is pretty strong as well and zombies don't care they will bite you full force. ( There are some people who can bite through thin metal sheets!. Tbh I would look for a costume store or something. If you can find plastic gauntlets or something from a storm trooper costume your set! They will have a plastics chestal piece as well
@@JeikuAnimeReview Yes but if I was a low-income Zombie Apocalypse person, I would feel better with makeshift armor than I would without anything at all. Technically if the whole world got rabies, wouldn't it be pretty close to the same thing as a zombie outbreak?? I feel like this "zombie" thing might be more possible than we realize.

This reminds me of one of the stories from the book World War Z where some people in Canada had the same idea to go as far north as possible and stake out the apocalypse there for a year. But there story went south because they abused all there resources and they starved and froze themselves to death. So resource management should be a big priority if you go north.
Exactly my thoughts, whoever read the book knows that "going north" unprepared is a bad idea, especially in big groups.
Lol, loved the comment, "You're smart, after all you're an Infographics fan. " Priceless..... made beer come out my nose. 🤣
be sure to clean up the mess. :)
Just remember that moving requires energy, so without human production of food, the zombies would die out actually relatively quickly
you don't really get the point of zombies do you?
@@DDlambchop43 Zombies have HUMAN bodies... The human body requires food + water to function properly.
@Twain Twian Yeah movies and books don't follow logic and science. A human body that is 'dead' will decay and fall apart. Without a proper functioning brain you wont be able to do anything with the body. To have a proper functioning brainn you need water and food etc AND with no functioning brainnn no functioning zombie simple.
@Twain Twian However, Biology being Biology, there's nothing to sustain a dead Zombie body. Even if it was something, the Zombie would just burned out.
@@chada75 an infected
I doubt a Zombie Apocalypse could occur: Zombie's only weapons is short-range biting. Their mobility is compromised if you injure their legs, they dry out in the desert and summer, freeze in the winter, and lack strategy and ammo.
Not only that, they don't seem to have any form of self-preservation so that means they will die from random things, like falling off high places. Also, they probably wouldn't know to stop any form of bleeding as well as the fact that they will probably die from thirst.
well until they mutate and start spewing acid at very long ranges and also start acatly throwing armed military grade grenades and high explosives at you that is, also sooner or later there will be zombies that use drones and dark forbien magic to make even more deadly zombies that then make even more deadly zombies that are hulks that SHOOT LIGHTING at you!
They could spread the infection via blood. You get zombie blood on you, especially if you have open wounds or it gets in your mouth you're done for
Zombies for sure we'll never happen but infected is a different story
You act like surviving the initial onslaught is a given. Almost all of the casualties will be during the initial onslaught. Watching zombies rot away while you sip coffee is WAY WAY WAY down the line. Yeah, you aren't gonna survive. You're off my team.
I live in Alaska, but i live like, 100 miles below the arctic circle, so i would be one of the few people headed south, because food would be the biggest issue
I would go to Utah. I grew up there, and there are a couple guns per family. Also, loads of people have really well thought out survival plans. Heck, my family had a hawk shelter and a place up in the mountains. This is why I would go to Utah, and fortify a good house.
6:35 Also remember that navy blue is closer to the colour of night than black is (which is actually darker than night, therefore you somewhat stick out). I'm not sure how good a zombie's vision is, however.
the zombie survival guide says that zombie vision is about equal to humans, but they are sensitive to motion.
@@DDlambchop43 That's an assumption though. Here they just kind of assumed that we're dealing with TWD walkers, but when you're initially surveying the city after getting to your first shelter, be sure to keep an eye on the zombies' behavior. See what you can learn about them. Can they see? How fast are they? What kills them? How quickly do people turn once bitten? Do they show any signs of intelligence? Anything remotely useful needs to be documented.
Also, that bit about navy blue only applies in natural lighting, so it might work in a world like this where every city has gone dark, but if there's a ton of light pollution like now, then black is better.
*just paint NOT FOOD in day glow neon colors on your clothes and the zombies will ignore you...in theory at least*
@@metanightmare4454 That's actually a good tip. An anime covered it, even. Highschool of the Dead, the figured out the zombies went after noise. They didn't see or smell, which allowed them to be quiet and sneak past easily in places.
Love how people so quickly forget that most high rise buildings will probably have supplemental fire fighting equipment like fire axes and their own security which probably have on site hand guns.
But they won’t have running water so the bathroom situation will be pretty foul
@@jacih6396 dump out the window then.
I have prepped for a disruption of goods and services for about 15 years. I keep a robust food pantry and alternative cooking sources besides electric stove. I have gas cans and water containers. I have reading material and enough candles/glow sticks to last a year at least. I don't know why everyone loads up the car just so they can get stuck in traffic. Stay in your comfortable home and get friendly with your neighbors. I feel like the one thing I should have is a drone. That would have been ideal for feeding Andy in Dawn of the dead. And the camera could give you a wide view of your surroundings.
As an Alaskan, I feel this severely underestimates how difficult it would be to survive winter without modern conveniences. It would take A LOT of fuel. Trying to gather everything you need before becoming snowed in would be rough. There is a lot of wildlife but there’s also a great deal of land. If you’re not experienced, wandering off in the snow looking is a terrible idea. And all of this is if you can make it up here at all. The road system is pretty limited and I highly doubt that anyone would be able to make it all the way up the Alcan Highway through Canada to Alaska without the road being blocked in at least one spot. Northern Canada is also quite cold and rural. Honestly, you’d be better off stopping there rather than going all the way to Alaska.
The most crucial step of surviving a zombie apocalypse: have Rick Grimes in your team
no
I'd rather get eaten by zombies
Am negan hehe lol
And tank Dempsey
He's pretty effective at dealing with human threats thats for sure
4:20 you can actually probably find axes in office buildings. They are there for firefighting purposes.
I would say staying fairly low to the ground would be more practical, you can still get out of a window if need be and you can use furniture from empty apartments to pile into the stairwells or lobby on the ground floor.
For me, the best places to settle during a zombie apocalypse would be somewhere remote or underground. Scavengers would be out there in public places doing the same thing as you. It is hard to negotiate with some people, especially in a crisis. It would be better though to gain and collect knowledge about developing survival and agricultural-related skills.
I feel like they underestimated the number of armed people in the USA... And number of guns and ammo...
And all the Crackhead Jimmy's with pocket knives
Yeah, why do zombie movies always do that.
And liberals are trying to take all our guns and ammo. Coincidence? I think not

I mean, the fires will go out by themselves eventually, probably without burning everything. It's not that easy for fires to spread in urban areas with proper isolation on buildings. Also you counted electrical appliances being unattended for the reason of fire, but in a zombie apocalypse scenario, it's safe to assume that all power will go off too so I can't really see much fire danger.

Cool video! I’ve been to a few places in Alaska myself and I remember standing in one of the small towns, spinning around and realizing that I’m surrounded by mountains. My first thought was, I’m coming here if there is a zombie apocalypse because there is no way they are making it over all the mountains, especially in the cold.
What about the roads?
@@travishillsthedarkangelbun504 you gotta go through the Rocky Mountains to get to Alaska so even if you did go on roads it would still be cold especially in fall/winter
Even if they do have a way of making it over, zombies don't really care about putting on a jacket or heating themselves up. Their joints will just freeze in the cold, rendering them immobile.
As long as you can get there before the snow starts, other wise the roads will be impassable.
easy Infected ppl will get there only one is eeded and then boom all ppl in alaska will get infected one person is needed
For those who believe zombies are a thing , I leave you with this VERY TRUE statement - Just remember that awkward moment when a zombie looking for brains, walks right by you.

@@dddripz I still don't can you explain?
@@dddripz then they will pass you too
A duo is the best way to go, as too many people will get you killed. Find one friend you completely trust, or maybe a family member, and stick together. You have enough help to survive, and for your partner to save you from something you couldn’t deal with alone, and you also won’t waste too much food. Plus, because you hopefully trust this person, you won’t have to worry about betrayal.
Did you come here after the news?
As a 13 year old who knew how to fish for the past two years (and has fishing as s hobby), I see this as an absolute win.
Head north. No matter what or where you are, your goal of escape should always be to head up north. Zombies can't really move that fast in the cold/snow.
Get machetes or bows, guns are way too loud and one shot will attract a lot more zombies to your location. Do not try to go to a gun shop, that place will be overrun fast, go to your local Walmart and grab every knife/sword you can get. Grab all the water you can, most people will think about food and grab all the food they can find. WATER IS MORE IMPORTANT. Do not try to survive with a large group of people, that means you will have to share all your resources evenly, you have a better chance surviving alone or with 2-3 others max!
When they start sellin swords at your local Walmart
We're just assuming zombies can't handle the cold. Of course, most sane people don't really believe that zombies could happen in the first place. If one assumption is wrong, I wouldn't bet against others without proof. I don't have a problem with the idea of heading north, but I wouldn't do it without a way to get back if the zombies don't freeze solid. Defense is really the only good thing about heading into a permanent winter, nearly all other aspects of survival would be much more difficult.
A more lethal version of Covid with higher mortality rates would be more realistic.
I live in Australia if I head north it gets hotter I think I should be heading south
The fact that we get free videos on KZhead by The Infographics Show is truly a gift. 👍👍👍
*BUT WHAT IF A ZOMBIE BITES BIGFOOT?!!!*
I wish this video was longer. I love these videos.
I feel like in a true zombie scenario (slow moving zombies) more than 70% of humanity might survive it HOWEVER with those fast moving zombies I can see humanity quickly dropping down to like 30-40% before we get a grasp of what we are dealing with. God forbid its the zombies from resident evil where they mutate none stop then I can actually see humanity actually being wiped out because they would be adapting faster than we could.
Zombies are extremely fast when that human just turn into zombie.. Also I think zombie has special mutations where some of the special zombies can grow muscles and some special zombie also can be intelligence to..
Zombie is not just a simple beast.. zombie are actually human so they have human brains I see some zombie in movies actually acting like human they used their brain to hunt humans
Bro zombies from resident evil would make 28 days later and dawn of the dead like child’s play
Mutation from zombies would take decades, cause a zombie would need to feed off on so many humans (because a virus needed an energy source and mutating will cost them a lot) before they could mutate, considering if they could mutate at the first place.
@@johnb8132 some zombies are different some adapt faster than normal one... Some humans are born genius I think people who are originally smart mutate faster than normal one
As a person who play and watch lots of zombie apocalypse. I just got 1 tip, Don't trust people too easily.
Zombies are one thing but humans also the biggest threat
Yep I agree… the living is more dangerous than the dead.

Alaska? Go to Northern Wisconsin or Michigan. Tons of water, fishing, wood, cattle, orchards, and reasonable growing seasons.
The zombies will be eating cattle, pigs, horses, anything living not just humas.
I absolutely would not be in a high rise. We don’t have any. I would go to my camp. Plant crops. Hunt for food. Utilize my water well. Fortify my shelter. Form an alliance with the other locals. Wait for other family members to arrive. Help friends that need it. Fight when it is necessary. And never hesitate to do what needs to be done.
Ive learned so much thanks to this channel. I thank everyone at the infographic’s show for providing my entertainment
many of there videos on topics like this are useless and don't take into account the truth of history of things they bring up
Dead bodies would be decayed enough that the zombies wouldn't be able to walk after a few short weeks. The time they took to go to Alaska, the first wave of people who died on the first few days will be gone. In fact, here's the BODY DECOMPOSITION TIMELINE : 24-72 hours after death - the internal organs decompose. 3-5 days after death - the body starts to bloat and blood-containing foam leaks from the mouth and nose. 8-10 days after death - the body turns from green to red as the blood decomposes and the organs in the abdomen accumulate gas. Several weeks after death - nails and teeth fall out. 1 month after death - the body starts to liquify.
You should read world war z,if you already haven't, they touched on body decomposition and how the undead were basically "immune" to rot or much slower at least
Assuming zombies decay at normal rates. Most fictions, they don't.
With the heat we have here the zombies will get mummified in 3 days...😂
But who is telling you zombies are dead? Aslong as the heart still beats and the blood still runs through the body there won't be any body decay. Zombies are just braindead 🙈 There is a new series on netflix called resident evil, i recommend it to you 😏
But they're undead so do they decompose at the same rate?
Going to a high-rise building would be an eventual death sentence with no escape.
I have always lived by the old saying " shoot first and then don't even bother to ask questions, just shoot again " so I will be fine.
I just want to appreciate the animation and how cute the zombies are instead of the common scary appearances tv and movies made it. The narration is great.
ok, problem there: most animals (including rats and vultures)will NOT touch zombie flesh as they instinctively know it's toxic. Some bacteria will. and btw, that whole go somewhere cold thing is from the Zombie Survival Guide. Bet I"m not the only one who knew that.
Vultures and hyenas have stomachs of steel, they can eat rabies infested meat without issue
Don't forget, if in the U.S. depending on which state you are in....walmart carries shotguns, rifles and occasionally handguns. Yesterday I was browsing the AR-15's and shotgun selection after grabbing some lunch meat and snacks. Never change Texas....Never change.😂
11:20 if you are relying on spear formation - might be wise to rig up some crossguards closer to the tip of the spear. A zombie would not mind getting impaled by a spear all the way and approach letting the whole shaft through. Having an obstacle on the spear will allow you to actually pin the zombie and hold it for another team member to finish off.
I've made a rule with myself I'm fat so there isn't any outrunning these things but if given the chance I'd sacrifice myself if only to help someone with a chance to get to safety
Good lol
@@Darth_Pain aye I know I wouldn't make it nor would I want to go through seeing people being eaten and the anxiety of being savaged I'd I had the chance I'd like to draw attention to the middle of the street(being load enough for people near by to hear this) gather as many of the undead that are around - attempt to fight till I die 🤷♂️ hope someone puts me down later..
@@maxbuckley9762 I applaud and commend a man of your stature recognizes his inferiority to ppl like me and doing the right thing and sacrificing for the more superior lol where u located ? When the outbreak happens (gonna be soon) I'll be sure to come your way 👁️
@@Darth_Pain Do you think you'd be able to Maintain your physique during that whole zombie thing?
@@maxbuckley9762 You will without a doubt go down as a hero. It's a very courageous act from you sir.
Being physically ready is also important. You don’t have to be buff you just need good stamina.
6:25 "the cars are noisy and attract attention" advice probably needs to be updated to give leeway to electric cars. Those are really silent if you you get rid of the "engine noise imitation" feature. And if you cover up all the windows - windshield included - and rig up external cameras for viewing around you might be able to travel around without zombies ever realising you are there.
The scenario would be quite different, depending on how the infection spread. For instance, if it were viral and crazy contagious, and then turned people quickly, a city could be easily overrun in a pretty short time.
I genuinely think zombies wouldn’t be that big of a concern for humanity after a while. Our militaries would be able to fight it off. If they’re just walking corpses I think most gun owners will be out patrolling constantly for them. Most people would.
It depends on the readiness of the force, how many there are of the infected on the base and how fast zombies multiply verses how fast the defenders can respond.
If the government is smart in the situation, they would easily be able to defeat all the zombies before it spreads to another country
you forgot about one factor. government is selfish. even when they do something nice there is ALWAYS a alternative motive. meaning they are not gonna do the right thing just because its good.
Well heres the thing, if most people get infected and most shows the average zombie rate is 6.5B. The average human rate is 1.2B. As you can see we would be outnumbered by a lot. Plus, if you get a horde you wont be able to fight them on your own, millions of humans die in a zombie horde each day
@@rzwitdauncut F
There’s many holes in the plan all along the way, but there’s good ideas too. People will definitely be the biggest threat. You don’t know what they’ll do or how they’ll react to life threatening situations. At least with zombies you know they want to eat you and you need to stop them from doing so.
The island of Mann in the UK is optimal. You are surrounded by sea, so fish and no swimming zombies. The land is fertile so you can grow whatever. It's small which makes clearing it out alot easier.
6:39 as long as I got my suit and tie, wait, wait wait and a sharp mop😂
I often thought during a zombie outbreak, a ship might be a good alternative. However there’s fuel to think about, maintaining it because an average Joe is not gonna know how to do all that. Plus there’s weather hazards then there’s international boundaries you might consider. Pirates and navies might see a lone ship or boat and decide to scavenge it for whatever might be useful and if uninfected people are onboard, they may potentially eliminate them. Sailing to a remote island might be safe for a while, however if it doesn’t have enough food or water and your transportation gets damaged, you might not be able to leave…
Black Tide Rising series by John Ringo explores that idea. "Under a Graveyard Sky" is the first book.
I've thought similar, primarily on parts of the US government still existing and operating out of aircraft carriers due to their possible self sufficiency
Sail boat with a Anchor go to like a random island and know how to sail (as a sailer since i was 10 this would be easy for me)
Book your trip now for Carnival's Survivor sea tour. We will be leaving just after the first zombie reports...
Even on the sea away from zombies u will not completely safe ...
I'm a lucid dreamer and I tend to enjoy my nightmares as well. Most dreams I have about zombies are really fun with great storylines. And usually when I dream about zombies it's a super vivid dream too. This is slightly off subject but I also tend to regularly fight demons and other monsters because in my dreams I hunt them down. I've turned my dreams into a paracosm
Cool how do you lucid dream?
I'm not a lucid dreamer because I can't control my dreams. Now I usually don't dream or remember them. When I was younger, during the last part of the dreams, I could do things like overcoming the limits like jumping dozens of meters, and destroying concrete walls by running in to it, or been immune to projectiles, fire or drowning. Still even with those abilities i was limited in what I can do, so nightmare were still nightmares.
@@emib6599 Contrary to popular belief lucid dreaming isn't about the control you have or even how much you have. Its simply knowing you're in a dream. Dream control and lucid dreaming are most often connected however it's possible to achieve a level of control outside of being lucid. You always dream just dont remember all of them. I highly recommend keeping a dream journal, this will help a lot with remembering dreams. Often times dream control is limited to your mindset, lets say you want to do something but it doesn't happen, this can often be because you don't believe it will. You could reframe your mindset, like pretending you're in vr and that should help you gain more control
@@alcblazee7271 Keep a dreal journal and write down the date of your dreams. Look for things that tend to happen in your dreams and take note of them. These are called dream signs and are great for reality checks. Dream journaling is also great for remembering more dreams and you'll even notice your dreams becoming more vivid. A reality check is where you ask yourself "am I dreaming" and test to see if you're dreaming while fully self aware. Another great question to ask yourself is "how did I get here" and retracing your steps. The check itself can be any number of things like plugging your nose to see if you can breathe, reading or looking at the time and looking away to see if it changes, ect. Some are more reliable than others. Some examples of less/unreliable reality checks are the classic "pinch me I must be dreaming" because you can feel being pinched and pain as well, and the finger through palm trick is also pretty unreliable. Often times people will tell you to count your fingers or look at your hands, in my experience these work sometimes but not in most cases. Choose at least 3 reality checks to practice during the day, even have an object, word place, anything that you can use to remind you to do reality checks at least a few times a day. When doing a reality check be sure to take the questions seriously and do them with your full self awareness otherwise it's unlikely to really do anything. Techniques are optional and what techniques work best for others may not work best for you. Everyone's different. Meditation is also optional though it can help you allot. Lastly, there's a big misinformation problem with lucid dreaming. Misinformation is all over the internet but it's most prevalent in places like tiktok and the "shifting" community. Explore lucid dreaming is also a pretty bad source. Not saying all of his information is wrong, but mostly surface level. He's also used bots to grow his channel which is why no other lucid dreaming channel is near that level. Some good lucid dreaming channels are tipharot, giz edwards and lucid dream portal. The time it takes to have a lucid dream is different for everyone but it should take no less than a year. Sorry if this is information overload
I can't lucid dream plz help me sir
I figured out long ago, if the zombie apocalypse happens, I am going to the nearest Bass Pro Shop. Barricade the doors, and you have food, water, weapons, ammo, and you can even fish.
I think the Canadian shield would be a great place to hold up during something like this. It may be almost complete wilderness but rarely anyone lives up that way... You'd have animals for hunting, wool, plenty of fire wood, fresh water, and more!
your profile pic is the same as my discord profile
You should expand on different starting locations, half of the people watching wouldn’t be in a city when it starts. Maybe have one starting in the country.
Let alone one with high towers with food and supply
I love this channel. I swear whoever thinks up these videos has massive anxiety like I do. They make a video for every "what if" that I think about.
Many times, anxiety or concern is a result of sin, and the cure is to deal with the sin. Psalm 32:1-5 says that the person whose sin is forgiven is blessed, and the heavy weight of guilt is taken away when sins are confessed. Is a broken relationship creating anxiety? Try to make peace (2 Corinthians 13:11). Is fear of the unknown leading to anxiety? Turn the situation over to the God who knows everything and is in control of it all (Psalm 68:20). Are overwhelming circumstances causing anxiety? Have faith in God. When the disciples became distressed in a storm, Jesus first rebuked their lack of faith, then rebuked the wind and the waves (Matthew 8:23-27). As long as we are with Jesus, there is nothing to fear.
@@howardoller443 Brodie what
A more lethal version of Covid with higher mortality rates would be more realistic.
@Pol1us Who asked what?
@Pol1us Likely the same person(s) who asked you to interject into the conversation.
I pretty much knew most of all of this..and if I didn't,I'm a good survivor and would of figured it out.. he left out a major thing or two.. Alcohol stores and pharmacies..stock up on as much different types of medicine especially for infection..
Nice video, now do this also with the scenario where 50% of the people you encounter are a threat. Like all the zombie shows, it really is people who would later be the real threat
Humans are so untrustworthy to each other. Our other failing.
Bunker Gear, raid a firehouse, and grab some bunker gear. Or if the high rise has an emergency response team, they may also have bunker gear. Rain gear also works really well since it will stop most bites.
Boots, work gloves, and a work coverall and you are protected below the neck.
Not to mention firefighters have gear for opening doors. That means, that you can unlock practically every place besides bunkers.
Must have read "Under a Graveyard Sky". :)
@@dennis2376 Yep, quiet a few times, actually. Great books. I'm a huge Shewolf fan.
I really recommend the unabridged World War Z book. It really goes over a lot of the little aspects of a zombie apocalypse that people dont think about.
For me is one of the best zombie movies
Where can I get that book
@@talhashahid6022 the audiobook used to be on KZhead. It's not like the movie
@@mr.awesome5933 then where can i listen to that book Plz provide a link of it's not a drag
The Battle of Yonkers is pretty much the most intelligent portrayal of a modern military losing to the zombies I’ve seen in zombie media.
Ok where's rick
Cardio is the number one rule to survive zombies. Stadiums, Bass Pro/Cabelas would be good strong holds.
Fun Fact: I am a Kazakh and I am from Türan Qazaqstan 🇰🇿 and My Country is very safe from "Zombie Apocalypse" and yes we are indeed Protected by our Geography.
If it starts at your country?

I'd say Russia is better prepared
Seeing how we handled the COVID crisis, I am not sure we would survived in zombie apocalypse.
Because of how we handled COVID I don't think we deserve to survive the zombie thing
Even imagining having to survive a zombie apocalypse is terrifying... away from your home possibly losing your loving people front of your eyes and lose your life routine forever... terrifying🥶
A prison in Alaska would give a great fortress to keep any roaming zombies out. If when you arrive there are zombies inside, make a noise. They'll rush to the fence and you can lazily poke them in the head through the fence until they're all gone.
There's this island fort that's long been abandoned, so my plan is to get my dad's boat and go to that fort. There's plenty of food around, fish, birds and we have seeds we could plant there. And we'd only have to filter and boil the water around us during times when there's not much rain. We'd be able to survive there for a while I think.
Others know about it too will come.
@@randallbesch2424 the more the merrier, well need people to help rebuild. Unless they just wanna take over, that's what guns are for.
This channel is my favorite and your uploads are on point.
I feel like my family would be alright for a while, we're stocked up and live 40 minutes away from the nearest town and like 2 hours away from the city. It's people and supply shortage that i'd be worried about after a little while.
Of course once you get to Alaska your troubles are not over as looters and marauders are everywhere even in Alaska. In fact they may have the same idea as you of going north, if they don't get you on your way traveling north they may very well be waiting for you when you get there.
This is what I'm talking about. The episode I needed 😌
Hey The infographic Show, I enjoy watching your contents and I'm entertained since 2019. More power to you and Please don't stop making contents.
I would most definitely rather deal with a zombie apocalypse then a nuclear war at the very least you'd probably survive a zombie apocalypse , awesome video thank you taking notes just in case lol
Hey best thing to do before going outside is that you should get food water etc and also should see where are less zombies to go in that way. Fun fact: there gonna be less than 300 Survivors Also best thing to do is that to get is a bat because it is not loud! And you need to go to a cool forest that has food! and is snowy Tip: Before going out you should get lot of fruits! since you can use the seeds to make a farm!
Personally I would seek my nearest Home Depot. There's everything u need in there. U can even make weapons out of tons of stuff in there.
Honestly you wouldn't need to make weapons with all of the tools like hammers and axes already there
Yeah, that would be the best place to go. Plus if you are going to hide out, build defenses, and secure your living space...there's a lot of good stuff for that purpose. You get tools, weapons, and building supplies in one spot. Plus if everyone's racing first to the gun store, you are less likely to get shot while loading up.
Imagine if someday this video ACTUALLY become useful in case of an zombie apocalypse
Probably alien invasion will happen sooner than human rage
It wont be useful outside big american cities
This isn't useful in countries outside of the US. In other countries, you'll have to fend for yourself and it will be much harder.
A zombie apocalypse is gonna start because there was viruses awkwardly making any thing similar to zombies
This Is weird but I would be hyped for a zombie apacolyspe
1. Avoid highly populated areas, this is a given 2. Don't go to major grocery stores, it'll be a bloodbath, try to instead go to stores that have snack foods but are not primarily grocers, they are less likely to be instantly torn apart and crowded 3. The cold is your friend. In an actual zombie apocalypse scenario, the infected/undead will not be able to handle freezing temperatures, leading to frostbite, their limbs freezing up, and braindeath. If you live in the U.S. or Europe/Continental Asia, head north. If you live in South America or Africa, head south. If you live on an island with confirmed infected, find a boat, bring plenty of drinking water and get ready to fish. Those are my top 3 tips
I live in southeast asia. I think i will head south👍
They say when the electricity completely went out everywhere. People in the space stations above could see whole city's on fire and campfires spread out all over the globe.
If a zombie apocalypse happened something you should probably bring is a clock or a calendar to keep in track of just in case you think its safe to leave.
You could also judge off of the seasons
Zombies are always in hostile mode, so their hearts are most probably filled with adrenaline. I don't think they will freeze to death that easily. A cold but populated place would still be vulnerable to zombies. Also wild animals would most definitely not eat zombie flesh, it's rotten. Decaying idea is, eh. Depends on the zombie kind. It's probably caused by viruses or fungi, so there is something that controls the body, it's not dead.
Vultures vultures will eat zombie flesh
animals do not care unless its rotten to a dangerous level
Tbh I would not bunker down anywhere
Freezing is a physical process. Unless they have evolved anti freeze proteins like in some fishes, the ice crystals will grow and eventually they will freeze
@@levansaginashviliskidney8726 with a fast pumping heart, their body will produce enough heat to some level
I know that people are saying that humans would be selfish, but most humans would actually work together as we fully know how teamwork works is and how to execute it, if we didn't use teamwork often, humanity wouldn't have lasted so long.
Going north towards colder climates can also be detrimental if you are not prepared for the winter. Supplies will quickly run low and although, yes zombies will struggle in the cold. so do people
