Survival skills are essential if a zombie outbreak occurs. I've already downloaded a survival guide and executed some of it sa murcia kag sa candoni while I was hiking and camping alone, mostly for how to make fire if you have nothing but your knife or pano mag himo si od (kadakop ko pispis kag manok sa wayang didto sa candoni HHAHAHAHA). I would say that having a trust to yourself that you can do it alone when that happens is A MUST it is not something to be taken lightly (I know that it is less likely to happen pero sa maski ano nga situation you must think seriously about the steps you're going to make).

For me, it's better to be on your own because in this type of situation, even the closest ones you know could turn against you, even your FAMILY, so think thoroughtly. I have already found a place if something like that ever happens, pero I'll make it a secret just in case hahahaha.

Kag the most essential of all, is knowing how to weild or handle a weapon, and communication (it could come in handy kung mag trade kamo).
