10. Join up. One quick bite, and you’re chasing, not being chased.
9. Get a sweet boat, load it up with everything you’ll ever need, and set sail. As far as I know, zombies can’t swim. Even if they can… shark bait.
8. Ever seen 28 Days Later? Military base, helloo. They have guns. They have food. They provide protection. And hopefully they’re a little nicer than the guys in the movie.
7. Go off the grid. Live in the mountains. Plenty of good caves to hide in and trees to climb, plus you can hunt and scavenge for food.
6. Another movie reference – I love zombie movies – hit the road. Get a double barrel shotgun (remember Rule #2, The Double Tap) and travel. There would be plenty of abandoned cars to hijack, and you don’t have to pay entrance to amusement parks. The movie is Zombieland, by the way.
5. And a TV reference. The Walking Dead. If you can make it (possibly by way of option #6), get to the CDC headquarters in Georgia. Apparently they have hot water and wine on hand, so until you all just give up and blow the place up, you’ll be comfortable.
4. Find an isolated island where whatever virus has yet to reach. Live there. The end.
3. What zombie apocalypse? Denial could work… at least until option #10 happens.
2. Find a cure! Inject all the zombies! Unlikely, maybe, but the best option if you’re looking to save the entire world.
1. Rollerblades. They’re silent, so they won’t draw attention. You’ll get a good workout and thus be able to outrun the zombies. You can do fancy turns and tricks and gun them down with whatever weapon you may acquire. Basically, rollerblades are zombie escape vehicles.

More Good Rules to Follow:
– Be Polite; Yes, it still counts in a world of the living dead.
– Be Clean; Sanitation is important, especially when taking out Zombies
– Be Smart; Avoid fights when possible, keep on the move, stay alert. Don't do anything stupid.
– Don't Panic; They have no fear, so why should you?
– Avoid Populated Areas; More population= More Zombies
– Prepare Now; Nothing too extreme, just have a couple extra cans of beans or something… and a nice baseball bat.

i hate this segment

does 10 even count as surviving?
9 and 4 don't work (proved in movies)
8 buys you some time but you'll run out of food
7 would be scary as hell to live in the woods with zombies… how do you sleep at night?
6 zombie land is funny, so that's a win
5 like 8, your digging your self into a hole
3 is funny but, you won't last long
2 is possible (I am legend) but you end up dying after you find the cure
1, not a bad idea actually

SPOILER ALERT … here's my problem: in 28 Days Later, the guys in the military base were jerks and the base was compromised ANYWAY.
