In case of Zombie Apocylspe...

This tip should be filed under Lesson 1.

Organize before they rise!

May I suggest the investment of six or more Guinea Pigs all from different breeds, half male, half female. I know it may sound horrible, but these cute little pets are packable, sturdy, hardy, and nutritious. This little tidbit of advice is more along the lines of a long term investment, as opposed to anything that will pay dividends with-in the first few months of a full scale Zombie outbreak. Keeping your last redoubt as small as possible is one of your best strategy's, thus using a small mammal as source of livestock would work best. You might also consider rabbits, but they are a little more fragile, and need a more specialized diet. But on the other side of the coin, they do produce a fine quality hide.

Just food for thought,
James
