Seven Tips to Stay Alive During a Zombie Infestation

1. Pull your shit together!

If it’s a zombie infestation, the cops, firemen, and ambulance men will all be rather busy, or dead. When the first zombies are seen, the police will take them to hospitals. Do not lock yourself in your apartment and wait for the police to save you. Do not cooperate with the authorities. They know nothing about zombies, as they believe that zombies are a myth.

2. Get armed

You do not want to face zombies and be unarmed, even if they are not so smart or quick or powerful, they will be too dangerous to fight bare handed. Firearms are good, but you should also have some side weapons you can use if you run out of bullets, or if they get too close. Anything’s good: knives, swords, axes or even poleaxes if you know how to use one properly. Blunt weapons are also good, but you must wear protection goggles and a mask, or something to protect your face from the splash.

3. Get armored

You must try to protect your body as much as you can, especially the neck, arms and legs. These are the most exposed parts to bite. You can find lots of body armor from army surplus shops, or even martial arts and hunting shops. Jeans also offer good protection from bites.

4. Leave town

If the zombie infestation caught you in a big town, you must leave immediately. It’s one thing to face 10 zombies, but another thing to face 10000 zombies. Best thing is to go to the country. Farms are quite easy to defend, and the open spaces won’t let you get caught by surprise.

5. Gather supplies

Gather as many supplies as you can. Everything from bottled water to gas – you will need it. And it won’t be hard to do it…if everyone’s dead it won’t be stealing! Best thing is to get a truck and start looting the largest stores in the area. Don’t go into big towns, and don’t start looting until you are 100% sure there won’t be a zombie attack, let alone a big one! You don’t want the authorities to stop the attack, nor do you want to end up in jail for looting.

6. Barricade

Some barbed wire and a whole bunch of gas filled bottles can do wonders when defending your resort from a zombie attack. Also, alarms are a very good idea. You can make them yourself (some cans and pots on a wire) or get a real one, motion sensors and everything (see number 5 for looting tips – Gas and Generator required).

7. Search for survivors

After you have enough supplies, and your home and the surroundings are safe, you should start searching for survivors. Even if you are the only one of your group still alive, you’ll end up going mad if you remain alone. Start with the small towns around you. It will be quite easy if you have a zombie proof car. Just go to the town limits and honk. If zombies are there, they will head in your direction and you can just leave; alternatively you will recognize the survivors and can form a group. Safety in numbers!

How to correctly use a Chainsaw in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse

With the chain saw running, you are holding an extremely dangerous implement. You should remember this at all times. When the chain is turning at full throttle it passes each tooth through the flesh at least 10 times per second. There are at least 60 teeth on the average chain. Whilst this has the desired effect on a Zombie it would do considerable damage to your body.

When holding a running chain saw, make sure you keep the chain brake engaged until you are ready to cut. When you’re actually cutting, ensure the chain saw is running at full throttle. This will reduce the chances of the chain saw binding or kicking back once you hit bone. The chain saw should also never be allowed to touch the ground. Please be aware that a zombie’s flesh is significantly softer than our own, try and keep your slices controlled and aim for the head and neck area.

Phrases to use when branding a chainsaw include:

• “suck on this!”



• “You damn crazies what did you do??, WHAT DID YOU DO??!!”



• “Choke on ‘em, Choke on ‘em!!!”



• “hahHAHHahahAHHAHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAH!!!”

Wearing the correct protective clothing is also important when using a chain saw. Your head and face need particular protection from any flying debris like blood, skull and vomit, but by the same token, a chain saw can do a great deal of damage to legs and arms if not properly under control. Hockey masks and ear protectors are all good ideas. Also refrain from wearing baggy clothing which may risk being caught in the moving chain saw.

Avoid Chain saw kickback, follow the paramount rule: Do not allow the upper quadrant of the chain saw nose to touch your victim or any other obstacle. If a tooth passing this fulcrum point suddenly encounters a particular tough area of the body, it can effectively stop the chain, passing all the motion of the chain into the body of the chain saw, which recoils violently upward toward the operator. For this reason and because your hand may not be able to activate the chain break, it is a good idea to position your body so that, the chain saw can pass relatively harmlessly through the body, and straight up towards the head and neck.

The key point is always to be aware and alert when using a chain saw. Following a few simple steps will make chain saw use much safer and much much much more fun.

Day 6: Drakes Bar, The Natural choice for survival

Day6

Why Drakes Bar is the natural choice for a safe house?

Ok there is a reason for this, the building itself is very high and well built meaning that when the undead rise up, the building itself will create maximum protection against the horde.

Professor James Talbot of Southport’s research laborites, Kensington rd said “the infrastructure of Drakes unique Victorian design will be a safe and strategically sound choice in the event of Armageddon. And the tunes and drinks will be wicked awesome and banging!”

Drakes on the night will be protected by security staff protecting the perimeter, we know that this place will most probably be the epicenter of where the zombies will filter too due to large amount of people that gather on West street during a Friday & Saturday evening.
The technical drawing below shows various points of entry during the zombie attack, it may be wise to dress as a zombie on the night to make it easier to sneak passed the undead, just make sure you make the guards aware that you are alive be shouting the password “braiiiiiiiiiins.”

It seems Ironic that the end of the world will be on my birthday.

Zombie Apocalypse (Halloween Armageddon)

Just a bit of a Sa-da-ko Update

Ok, so we are about midway thru recording the album at the moment things are in full swing, I still can’t issue a release date though but what I can tell you is that we still aiming for the end of October.

Which brings me on to the weird bogs I’ve been posting, we are currently organizing a small gig in our home town for Halloween so I apologies if the blogs are a bit random, but it’s just my attempt at viral marketing.

We’ve got quite a lot planned for the night including zombie related prizes, cheap drinks and a few surprises, as soon as I can say more Ill post it on here.

What about this bloody video?

Ah I’m glad you asked, we gathered together just before the weekend to see our 2nd to last draft, all is looking great and were really happy with the results, it’s just down to Tim at Dunloe productions to do the final tweaking and we can start rolling it out and show everyone the fruits of our labor.

Rauri from The Dept of Design is still away sunning it up in a far away land, which means we’ve had to bite our fingers patiently for our photographs, I have planned to meet him next week and go through the pics with him, as you can probably guess the next couple of week are going to be rather busy for Sa-da-ko.

Anyway that’s about it for now, can’t really give you much more info as a lot if it is a bit hush hush.

TA TA!!

Day 2: Zwine Flu Pandemic Update

London “experts claim that they are beating Swineflu Zombie Strain H1N1, below is an article from the BBC………

11th September 2009

(AFP) – 9 hours ago

LONDON — Britain is "tantalizingly close" to beating Zombie Swine flu or Zwineflu as it known on the street, the chief medical officer said, as figures showed the death toll had risen by five hundred over the past week to 170,355.
Unveiling plans to double the numbers of intensive care beds to cope with the unexpected surge in cases during the coming winter months, Liam Donaldson said the death toll for the current pandemic was relatively low.

"We are tantalizingly close to being able to win the battle against this pandemic virus.”
"Tantalizing does not mean we can always get there but we are still fighting," he added.
Figures out Thursday showed 504,332 courses of antivirals had been handed out in England, where 5132 people are now in hospital with swine flu, of whom 823 are in intensive care.

There were an estimated 3,000 new cases of Zwine flu registered in the past week -- the lowest figure to date.
Donaldson told BBC television. "Flu viruses behave unpredictably and this one's no different.”
"We're pretty confident that we will see an upsurge in the autumn and winter when our flu season starts."

Meanwhile Professor John Beddington, the government's chief scientific adviser, said Britain could effectively make its last stand against strain Zombie H1N1 within weeks.

"You can get the infected coming back in a number of waves but it's likely that the next one will be larger than any subsequent ones," he said.

"What is likely to happen will depend on a number of things, firstly the number of unreported cases,

"Whether it comes in late October and at a fairly high level, or in more moderate waves later in the year, is hard to predict."

Join the last stand!

Zombie Apocolypse - Day1

The infection started yesterday, 2 of my friends are gone. 25 people have joined the battle,

They say its headed this way I believe that the 30th of October will be the end.

All survivors must report to Drakes at 9pm, there will be prizes to be won but only to survivors,
giveaways including Zombie dvds, Survival Supplies etc.

Sa-da-ko, Risedeadman & more bands will supply entertainment during the apocolypse.

It seems ironic that my birthday would be on the day the earth ends.

this page is gonna have updates and extra I'll document the promotion as we go on.

Sa-da-ko & The Dept of Design

We are still hard at work at the moment in Aku Studios adding guitar tracks to the album, while J tunes up the old axe, I thought I would do a bit of an update.

Well to be honest we are running a little behind schedule, we are now looking to launch around Halloween, fingers crossed!! The album is really coming together and it’s all starting to sound amazing so much so it’s probably the greatest thing we’ve done so far and finally it’s good to see the fruits of the last 8 months finally coming together.

So that’s the audio coming together what about the visuals?

Well Tim from Dunloe productions is still working hard on editing the video for “rEd” and we are currently in talks about a 2nd video for another track off “zero one”, we’ve seen 2 drafts on the video and its all starting to come together quite nicely, we are really keen to show other people what’s been going on behind the scenes but at this stage I’m going to have to slap your hand like a naughty child!!

Other visual shenanigans, such as photos and a few bits of art work are currently being helped along by the guys over at the Dept of Design, in fact last week we gathered together all of our belongings and headed out over to a place near Churchtown just as the sun started to head down. The weather wasn’t great but I think it helped a long nice shoot and really added to the drama of the area.
Below is a selection of shots taken on the day, they are pretty raw and haven’t really been touch up yet but it gives you an idea of what we see before it goes to the next stage.
