Useful skills and knowledge, part 3.

Worl... let's begin.

Concentrated weapons training: You can sometimes manage with a general knowledge about weapons, but if you want the best chance of survival you can get, you will need to specialize.  Be it camping sniping, hand-to-hand combat, or even rock throwing, if you're really good at it, you will be able to design tactics around your strengths.  This also improves your value to a group, should you create or join one.  Someone who can do one thing perfectly is infinitely more valued than someone who can do everything fairly well.  But going back to tactics...

Tactics: This isn't hard.  Tactics against zombies are (almost) as easy as knowing where to stand.  Find higher ground for melee combat, a camouflaged perch for sniping, and so on.  When barricading a fort, leave one or two hidden emergency exits.  Booby trap and alarm the area around your base.  Use loud noises and flashes to distract pursuers and searchers.  Keep a backup weapon.  Walk at night, when vision is heavily impaired.  Sweep for hostiles several times before you relax.  Most of this is common sense, but you still need to learn it, and well.
