Hunting or Fishing This Season? Make Sure to Stay Safe From Zombies.
For those of us who love to get out into the outdoors for some camping, hunting or fishing before winter comes and makes it too cold, the Missouri Department of Conservation has some handy hints for identifying zombies and ensuring your own safety. I’ve highlighted a few of them here:
Zombies do not require air and can stay submerged underwater for extended periods of time. While MDC managed waterfowl areas are believed to be zombie-free, use caution when wading through murky water and always check your blinds before entering. Consider wearing a shark suit or other body armor over your waders to prevent zombie bites from breaking through both your waders and your skin. If you use a boat to retrieve your game, put a spike or hammerhead on one end of your pole to use as a handy defense tool if you encounter the undead.
[...]
Chainsaws, axes and machetes are excellent weapons in quickly “dispatching” zombies.Remember that a severed zombie head can still bite.
[...]
Always practice proper tree-stand safety and wear a safety harness. Falling from a tree stand can injure you or make you dead. Falling from a tree stand into the gaping maw of a zombie can make you undead.
