ARMOUR (OTHER TYPES)

Although you should definitely avoid wearing medieval armour, as explained in the previous entry, there are other forms of protective clothing that you may also have considered. Riot gear for example, or martial arts training gear, or indeed a shark suit (being a suit that protects against shark bites rather than a suit that makes you look like a shark). I’m not saying that it’s not a good idea to wear armour if you have it to hand but I wouldn’t go out of my way to seek it out as protective clothing.

In order to survive, you need to avoid the undead and surely preparing to be bitten is tempting fate somewhat? Thinking you are completely protected from zombie bites will give you a false sense of security and you may put yourself in more dangerous situations. One minute you’re strolling down the road and the zombies appear. You don’t run, you think you can walk straight through the horde, but then more and more of them appear and you decide this wasn’t such a good idea after all so you jump into the nearby river to escape, but there’s a shark in there and it attacks you but it can’t bite through the shark suit and it gets annoyed and swims off and you think you’re safe, but you’re not because the shark just went to get its mate – the Mega Shark – and then the Giant Octopus turns up too and now you’re truly screwed.

See what happens when you tempt fate by wearing armour? Take my advice and concentrate on avoidance rather than protection – it’l make life easier.
