Day of the living dead
They are everywhere now: on TV, in books, at the movies and in your nightmares. So we’re getting ready for the undead on arrival — and any other disaster — at zombie survival school in New Jersey!
"The clock is ticking. We haven’t got much time. I put down the crossbow and run. The guy next to me is stitching up a wound as fast as he can. “Hurry up!” a voice nearby screams. “The zombies are coming! Oh my God! We’re all gonna die!”
It’s just a regular sunny Saturday afternoon at the Zombie Survival Course, held at a deer-hunting range in south Jersey, where I’ve come to convene with fellow doomsday-obsessed nerds and prepare for World War Z.

Of course, the handy thing about gearing up for a zombie attack is it’s remarkably similar to learning how to weather any other type of large-scale disaster.
Hence, today’s classes, rotating among our four small groups, will cover what to pack in your preparedness “bug-out bag” — the same as most disaster kits, power bars, water, matches, knife — simple medical procedures like administering injections, applying tourniquets and stitching up a wound; hot-wiring a car (ahem, “acquiring transportation”); learning to shoot various firearms; and defending yourself in hand-to-hand combat, be it against the living or the undead."
