"Oh no, zombies? Good thing I have Trident Layers!"
There is absolutely no science proving that chewing Trident Layers is going to save your life. It just tastes good and will keep you from nic-fitting (if you're a smoker).
Now for some reason, hygiene still tends to be a problem with people today, even before any indication of an apocalypse could happen (go figure). Now is it out of pure laziness?
Well yes, yes it is.
And by golly, those douchebags who used to smell in front of you at Starbucks all of the time who couldn't afford a bar of soap but a six dollar coffee are going to get eaten first. Yes, that was a run on sentence, but I feel very strongly about it.
Most people don't think about hygiene when it comes to trying to survive, or even planning for any catastrophic event. I'm assuming most people are just going to try and 'cave-man' it, using their hands for things they've never done before and just dipping themselves in a dirty irrigation ditch every now and then to rinse off...
Because if you're not going to die from being infected, you're surely going to die of something that you could have EASILY prevented.
Let's cover some of the things you can get just by being a dirty little bastard...
Head Lice
Now Head Lice is something that you can get from just about anyone, not because you don't wash your hair. I'm putting this up here because during a zombie invasion, you're probably going to be sharing some things with the people in your group. There are three kinds of lice; head lice (stated above), body lice, and pubic lice (Crabs). All of these pretty much act the same way; jumping from one person to another via clothing, pillows, etc. I suggest starting something like a "Check-Up" day, where once every two weeks everyone checks eachother for certain things. It could really clean up any debates about who started anything, and you could possibly stop something before it will even start.
This means brush your teeth, and in result this won't happen to you.
HANDWASHING!
Your mom, doctor and grandmother have always nagged you about washing your hands, especially after handling raw meat (or even your own meat, for that matter). Not only that, but history shows us that bad things tend to happen when you're around someone who doesn't wash their hands; and that bad thing tends to be you dying.
Think of it this way; you're in a group of say five, and you have one person that knows how to cook over an open fire. He's an ex-vet, has some teeth missing, and rambles on about how the zombies remind him of the war. You're walking around one day (why you're walking around, is totally baffling to me) and you stumble upon him taking a number two behind a bush. He waves you off, and you run back to camp scared like a ninny.
When you finally see him come back, you realize that:
1) He did not have a water basin or handwashing soap.
2) He did not have hand sanitizer.
and 3) ...Did he even use paper?
Now he's making dinner.
That's a great example isn't it? All of the bacteria just lying around on his hands, as he fondles your food, mocking you as you stare; mouth agape and thinking about running into the horde you find next.
Which brings me to another statement: ZOMBIES ARE DEAD. You probably will be rummaging around zombie pockets, touching things that zombies have touched, thus contracting viruses and bacteria that could kill you.

So; stock up on handwashing soaps and sanitizers in your BOB's & EDC's; because you're definately going to be needing them.
Here's a list of things I find useful, as well as some things they can be used for:
SANITIZER: Keeping those damned hands clean!
BABY WIPES: If you're at a loss for water, you can always use these to scrub yourself down. One for the face and neck, one for your, ah, naughties, and one for the rest of the body.
INSTA-TOOTHBRUSHES: You've seen them, those little brushes you don't need water for? Go raid that Walgreen's on the corner. I'm sure they have a shit-load.
GUM: Certain gums can help with preventing plaque; which can prevent Gingivitus. So if you have no water, no toothpaste, and no insta-brushes, this would be your best way to go.
CLEAN RAGS: If you're a female, and you still recieve Mother Nature's gift of love, please realize that tampons and pads won't last forever. You can also wash to re-use.
(Or if you really want to be ready ladies: http://www.keeper.com/index.html.)
Q-TIPS: Prevent ear infections with the build-up of wax.
ALCOHOL SWABS: To clean minor cuts and scrapes; can be used as a hand sanitizer as well (it will dry out the skin.)

DEODERANT: Need I explain?
CONDOMS: Because a zombie apocalypse doesn't stop the human race from having sex, and let's face it, getting a STI that causes pain or itching can slow you down; not to mention getting pregnant.

MELEE WEAPONS
I'm going to touch-up on some Melee weapons that can be used for defending yourself from flesh-eaters if there's a lack of guns nearby. Unfortunately, I fall into the category of "Dumbass-Who-Doesn't-Own-A-Gun"; so I know this category pretty well.
Melee weapons are better than guns for one reason, and one reason only: YOU NEVER NEED TO RELOAD/USE AMMO.
Of course, things CAN break; but guns can also jam if not cleaned well etc.
"Remember when picking a Melee Weapon. Can it crush A skull in one blow? If not, can it decapitate in said blow? Is it easy to handle? Is it light? Is it durable?" -Zombie Survival Guide, Max Brook

Bat'leth
Originally made for the Star Trek series, the Bat'leth is a Klingon weapon designed by the martial arts enthusiast working on set. I know you may be thinking, "Are you pop-tarded?"
I can assure you, I'm not.
"The bat'leth is a curved blade with spiked protrusions and handholds along the middle of the blade's back. In battle, the handholds are used to twirl and spin the blade rapidly."

-Taken straight from Wikipedia, because it's easier to copy and paste than type it out.The size of the Bat'leth generally tends to depend upon the user, but in all in all it can be anywhere in length from two to four feet. Keep it sharpened, and you could possibly kill a zombie with one swoop. The reason I posted this is for the length; during hand to hand combat I would like to keep my distance between myself and the teeth in front of me.
Other weapons, that I probably need not elaborate on, are axes, crowbars, tire-irons, katanas and sledgehammers. If you want a more in-depth list of what to use; click here.
I'm cutting this short because for one, this post is already very long; and two, I'm pretty much done with working on it. There's nothing more I can say.
xD
Next post should be more in-depth about excercises from the other writer, so stay tuned!
