With the recent discovery of the true purpose of the LHC, by friend and colleague, Kenito. I present this survival guide to surviving the Resonance Cascade undoubtedly to be created in the next six to eight weeks from now.
First off, I just want to say everyone should procreate like mad before the Combine set up the suppression fields. More people will mean a better chance to survive the mass extinction.
Now on to the list:
- Obtain a solid item, with which you can beat headcrabs and zombies with. Crowbars are recommended, but baseball bats will do.
- Obtain a knife. Get as large a knife as you can comfortably carry around. Knives will be useful to fashion makeshift rope traps and skin animals with.
- Obtain a comfortable breathable shirt. It should dry quickly and be long-sleeved.
- Obtain durable pants. I would suggest really thick jeans with no wash. A belt may be useful in unusual circumstances.
- Obtain a warm jacket. It should be light and comfortable.
- Dress in layers.
- Avoid the cities and towns.
- Head for the mountains. The more secluded your spot, the better.
- Stockpile food.
- Always grab the plastic container with the Red-Cross on it. You will last much longer with a stockpile.
- Learn how to create and string a bow from materials common in a forest. Learn how to make arrows for said bow too.
- Stockpile guns, lots and lots of guns. I would suggest a S&W .357 Revolver. Unfortunately you can only carry two moon-clips plus the cartridges in the cylinder at any one time.
- Get a Zero-Point-Energy-Manipulator. It never needs reloading and any sized item short of a car can be used as a weapon with it. However, it is worth mentioning that the probability of obtaining such a weapon is a point above zero.
However, these are not enough to fully increase your chances to survive the oncoming apocalypse.
Reading Max Brook’s The Zombie Survival Guide will help you survive an incoming headcrab-zombie attack. However, Keep in mind that some parts in The Zombie Survival Guide will not apply for headcrab-zombies.
The Steampunk’s Guide to the Apocalypse touches on many topics rather broadly for when technology will become scarce. Unfortunately, there can be much more detail.
The US Army Survival Manual probably contains everything you need to know past what the Zombie Survival Guide covers. It is rather dense, and you probably won’t finish it.
Read as many survival guides and manuals as you can. They will help you survive this slowly encroaching threat to humanity.
