Books In A Zombie Apocalypse |

I love books, but I will love them even more after a zombie apocalypse. What many people don’t consider is how useful they are for survival. Books are going to be a highly sought out treasures once people figure that out. They hold so much knowledge and you’re going to need it, especially when it has the potentially to save your life (or someone’s else). That’s why survival books are so important to me, because they are a key factor for my to survive.
Chances are I’m not going to be able to find a living doctor if I injured myself or got sick. Having a medical book about how to treat injuries can help with that. Even when you’re sick and don’t know what it is or how to treat it, medical books can tell you the symptoms and what sickness is causing it. They can also provide information about what can treat it or give you natural alternatives if that’s all that’s available to you.
There’s also books that tell you what plants and berries are edible and which to avoid because they’re poisonous. They can tell you how to build a shelter and the many ways to do it, how to filter water, how to build a fire, how to survive in the winter, how to build traps, how to grow a garden of food, raise farm animals, and how to do many other things. I could go on and on, because there’s so many useful books!
In a zombie apocalypse, knowledge is power. I rather know how to do something than not at all. I know that having knowledge is vastly different than having the experience, but at the very least, your chances in survival increased by a little bit. So while you still have the chance, I recommend that you take some classes (some are offered for free if you know how to look) on first aid, swimming if you don’t know, self defense and whatever else that you think you might need to learn. If you can’t afford the classes or don’t have the time to go to them, try looking online. You may be able to find some free video tutorials about it.
Otherwise, stock on survive books on the subject. Just remember that knowing how to do something can’t substitute for years of experience. Hence my urging for you to start now, while the world is still in order if you’re really serious about this.
Here’s a list of books that were highly recommended to have in your personal library.
