Jobs that Make You Easy Targets for a Zombie

I was watching TV the other day (The Zombie Diary if you're curious). And I started thinking, man its got to be terrible to be hospital personnel during a zombie outbreak. I mean you would be at the epic center of the outbreak. Hundreds of zombies showing up to feast on your delicious looking brain. So, I started thinking what other jobs would it suck to have during a zombie outbreak. Below is my list (these are in no particular order)

(1) Doctors/nurses
(2) Police officer
(3) Mortician

(4) Funeral Director

(5) Grave Digger

(6)
EMS Worker

The “To Go” Pack

Inventory is finally over. I hate inventorying. But now I have a LIST! I know what is in The Family’s coffers to keep us ready to go if we ever needed to flee from the zombies.

So here’s the list:

  • Aspirin
  • Antacids
  • Back Pack
  • Battery-powered or hand crank radio
  • Can Opener – Hand operated
  • Contact case
  • Contact solution
  • Deodorant
  • Dust mask
  • Emory boards
  • Facial cloths
  • Facial Tissue
  • Feminine Hygiene Products
  • First aid kit
  • Floss
  • Garbage bags
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Hair bands
  • Ice Pack – Injury
  • Lip Balm
  • Lotion
  • Nail Clippers
  • Note pad
  • Razors
  • Shampoo
  • Soap – bar
  • Soap – body wash
  • Toothbrushes
  • Toothpaste
  • Towelettes
  • Tweezers
  • Whistle
  • Wipes
I even removed a few items. I figured if this is a 3 day supply, no need for those full sized items. Anyway, after figuring out what I had I found several lists of what should be included in a “To Go” pack and determined what I am missing.

Missing:
  • blankets
  • Cell phone with chargers
  • clothes
  • copy of important documents
  • Flashlight and extra batteries
  • Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food (how'd I forget this?)
  • games
  • Local maps
  • Method of water purification
  • money (not sure that this will really help you with zombies. Do they take bribes?)
  • poncho
  • prescription medications
  • rope
  • sewing kit
  • tent
  • sleeping bag (one per person)
  • tools (shovel, knife, wrench, pliers)
  • water proof/windproof matches
  • Water, one gallon of water per person per day
I'm still not sure how to store the correct amount of water in an easily moveable pack. If anyone has ideas, leave them in the comments section.
