Grogheads Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide! Roger Wilco Zulu Alpha
You can practice marksmanship for years on end and stockpile freeze dried food and fish antibiotics in ridiculous quantities, but your chance of survival alone is small. Being part of a team when the flesh eaters start to hunt you is probably the single most important determinant of whether or not you will be able to make it past the breakers and continue breathing. For now, I won’t go into how to build a team and who to include. I want to talk about communications. If you are part of a team, hell, even if you aren’t part of a team, you will need to communicate with others. And this means beyond shouting distance. Communications, or “comms” for short, cover how individuals and groups transmit messages and ideas from one point to another. There are two components to comms, transmitting and receiving. Someone has to send up the smoke signals and someone has to interpret them. Whether it is two people speaking face to face or on cell phones, the principles are the same. In fact, we as a society have become so dependent on cell phones, that we have forgotten how to communicate in other more traditional ways. As they say, everything old is new again. Cell phones will be paperweights once society crashes. The infrastructure required to keep them all functioning will come crashing down once things go bad.

Do Zombies Drink Corona? The Zombie Survival Blog Returns!
It has been quite some time since my last communication in this blog. It hasn’t been because there was nothing more to say. I was just focused on surviving. And then world events popped up and made all of us think about survival. Even the hermit living at the top of a mountain knows about the pandemic that crashed through world economies like a wrecking ball. In a perfect world, politics would have no place in health discussions, but this issue has become so highly politicized that it is difficult to focus solely on the facts. Regardless of whether you feel that this was a health crisis that threatened the lives of you and your family members or that it was an overblown reaction engineered for a political outcome, readers of this series will agree that it has to make us think about what to do for the next pandemic.
