7 Tips for Rebuilding Society



Ok, so the zombie appocalypse weighs heavy on your mind right now. Hey, that's completely understandable. Survival and all that. Yeah, do your thing and stay alive. That is pretty important, after all.

But, hey, one day there will come a time for rebuilding society. Its important to think ahead to when all the zombies have been rounded up and sent off someplace else (maybe to the moon or something). The point is, you will need a plan. Here's a 7-step program to get you started. Feel free to append to this list in your logs.

The way I see it though, rebuilding society is going to come down to one thing: information. And there's one really awesome place to go for that. Your local library. You can bet on the local library having information on farming, how and where to build houses, etc. Its all there.

  1. Find your local library - Libraries contain shelves, which contain books, which contain important info and stuff. Consider reading a few of the books, assuming they haven't been burned for fuel during the zombie appocalypse. You'll be smarter for it.
  2. Make friends with your local librarian - Assuming the librarians haven't been zombified then rounded up and sent off to where ever captured zombies go, a librarian will come in clutch for deciphering the books and filing system in the library. Plus, you kind of need a librarian to unlock the library building for you, and you can't really take any books home unless the librarian says its OK (and checks out the book to your account). Librarians are pretty much awesome anyway, so its good to have one as a friend regardless.
  3. Bring your reading glasses - You'll be reading a lot of books, so your eyes will get tired. Plus, reading glasses make you look cool, so there's that too.
  4. Bring your library card - Reading books inside the library is awesome and all, but sometimes you will want to take an important book home. You'll need a library card to do that.
  5. Bring small change for the copy machine - The really (and I do mean REALLY) important and good books are probably going to be in the reference section of the library. You can't take those home, but you can make copies of the pages (usually).
  6. Use the Interwebs - Assuming the series of internet tubes are still working, the local library is a great place to access the interwebs. You will probably need a library card to access the tubes though, but you already brought that with you, right?
  7. Always bring a towel - A towel is about the most massively useful thing a society rebuilder can have. Always know where your towel is.

This is not a night cache. Do not attempt this cache after dusk and before sunrise, or you will be guilty of trespassing.
