Thought Catalog: 33 Ways To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse

If there’s a zombie apocalypse, you can’t forget to pack these necessities mentioned on Ask Reddit.
1. Motorcycle gear. Motorcycle pants, jackets, and gloves are designed to prevent road rash injuries and are really tough. Wearing them (especially if you also use the helmet) makes you immune to bites.

2. Towels. Nobody thinks about wrapping their arms in them. Try to bite through a towel, zombie.

3. A good water filtration device like a Lifestraw or Sawyer Mini. One of them can often filter thousands of gallons of water without a hiccup. You can only go a few short days without clean drinking water, so it’s pretty likely that you’d die of dehydration before a zombie actually kills you.

See the full list from January Nelson on Thought Catalog's website here.
