A recent report out of the Marine Times diagrams how a company named HALO Corp. decided to include a Zombie Apocalypse portion in their yearly Counterterrorism Brief next month.
In attendance at the brief are 1,000 military personnel, police officials, medical experts and federal workers—who apparently find zombie preparedness pertinent to national security. Well, more accurately, they think that practice for a "zombie outbreak" type of viral scenario is important to national security.
Last year, the Center for Disease Control released a survival guide of sorts and now they even plan produce a graphic zombie "novella."
(All the talk from the CDC even prompted a certain Business Insider reporter's mom to call in the middle of the night, wondering if that reporter would come home and help in the event of a zombie outbreak.)
If the military and government are preparing for this unlikely scenario, then you should too. As a former Marine, survivalist, and zombie enthusiast, allow me to share some advice.

All you need to do to defend yourself is to attack the head. Bludgeoning tools are perfect for this type of attack. Of these, a decent sized crowbar, one bigger than is in this picture preferably, will last you the longest.
A baseball bat works, but the aluminum will wear out quick. The iron in the crowbar is tough as nails though.
You could also opt for a blade though, because ...
