BOAT

The use of boats to aid your survival is a sensible choice – as long as you use caution and remember that zombies can survive under water and withstand strong currents.

Let us look at some of the options you have:

Battleship

Built to withstand heavy weather conditions and contains weapons and supplies. Be aware that it is not constructed for comfort and fuel will be hard to come by. The armed forces are also known for manning their ships with fine specimens of humankind, which will make it easier to repopulate when the time comes.

Rowing boat

If your safe house is near a river or canal it is always handy to have a rowboat as a means of escape across the water should the need arise. However, we would not recommend living in one, especially if there is a team of more than 47 in your group, as it may get a little cramped and water-bound zombies can easily overpower a rowboat and capsize it.

Cruise liner

These boats are great if you can find one that isn’t already swarming with zombies – but due to the fact they are public liners that is unlikely. But if you do manage to secure one, as long as it is well stocked and kept off shore, these are the best boats to live on – as long as you don’t mind playing bingo every night from 5–7p.m.

Pirate ship

Not the most substantial vessel to attempt long-term survival on the choppy ocean waves, but it is certainly the coolest. It will also give you the right to cease washing and braid your hair. You can also sing sea shanties about yourself and catch scurvy, none of which will really help in surviving a zombie apocalypse.
