Thanks, Sheila…I actually based a lot of it on traveling with my son since he was a baby: all kinds of crap can go wrong, whether it be by plane, train or automobile…or the undead.

I loved that! I have always been wondering wtf would I do with three little kids being a single mom trying to survive a zombie attack! Now I at least have the basics for survival!

Thanks, Alhazred! My son is now five years old, but we still do things much the same way, except now he is old enough to have his own mini-backpack.

A lot of the tips can actually be helpful when traveling with children in general, esepcially if you have a break down during a road trip, or you are stranded due to bad weather, etc.

My SIL, who lives in CA, once commented that her “earthquake kit” is very comparable to what I’ve recommened in a zombie bug-out bag, so as I say over and over, “If you’re prepared for a zombie outbreak, you’re prepared for anything.”

lmfao at that last post.

and this is AWESOME!!!

i don’t have a child, and i certainly don’t have a uterus, but i’m beyond thrilled that you wrote this and that i had the opportunity to read it. you never know what the future will bring, and you’ve broadened my spectrum quite a bit through this post. i’ll certainly be using some of the ideas you mentioned above (LOVED the glow sticks bit) in my own life effective immediately, and i’ll be certain to pass along some of this information to a few females in my life.

thanks again. ^^

cadkls,

That’s great that you’ve read the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks, and you obviously think it’s the last word on any zombie apocalypse.

Unfortunately, I make it a policy not to talk to children online, especially 12 yr olds, so I can’t explain to you how envrionmental hazards can affect humans.

Its a virus called solanum by the way that causes the dead to rise.Just so you know.not a toxic spill or oil spill.. How though could oil turn people into mad headache ridden flesh eating deadites?

Jade, I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment sooner. I can’t help but wonder if the oil spill could somehow lead to a zombie outbreak, but biological warfare seems more likely to most, I think.

Thank you for finally creating a guide for surviving with your child. I’ve been worried (and preparing) for the time when either we, or our enemies, unleash the chemical warfare that will cause the dead to rise since I was a kid. The oft repeated nightmare of my childhood and now adult life. When I got pregnant I had to rearrange most of my supplies and planes for my less physically capable self, but now my son is 18 months and it has been worrying me how to keep him safe and protected. With luck, none of my precautions will ever be more than an energizing mental exercise; but like the boy scout motto “always be prepared.” Thank you. I will begin considering how to use some of your suggestions immediately.

The google ads are cracking me up. Every time I check back, it’s something different.

Hilarious list – liked the glowsticks/rave item the best. If you’d like to read more Max-Brooks-esque work check out Tales of the Zombie War – some humor, plenty of gore, and a few snippets of ‘how-to’ information for those who want to be prepared for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
