Zombie survival refers to the strategies and skills needed to survive in a world overrun by zombies. This includes gathering supplies, finding safe shelter, and forming alliances with other survivors. Essential items often include food, water, weapons, and medical supplies, as well as knowledge of first aid and self-defense. In a zombie apocalypse, understanding the behavior of zombies is crucial. They are typically depicted as slow-moving but relentless creatures, which means that stealth and planning are key to avoiding encounters. Survivors must also be prepared for human threats, as desperation can lead to dangerous encounters with other survivors.
