Rescue Signal: Safe Haven or Booby Trap

In the Zombie Apocalypse, having a radio can be a key item in locating survivors or even finding salvation. Hearing someone on the other end of the radio calling for help or offering a safe haven may seem like a welcomed voice.

Not so fast. Could it be a trap? It's not something that would typically cross our minds, but this will be a whole new world- and in that new world, not everyone can be trusted, even though the circumstances are dismal. Now, of course, I am not saying that the call should go unanswered. Exercise caution before proceeding.

Listen carefully to the message being conveyed and if you choose to follow the voice into the rabbit hole, plan ahead. Survey the area in advance and don't forget to bring your weapons. Planning an emergency escape route is a necessity. Once you are armed like a tank, have an escape route mapped out and have thoroughly scoped out the area, then you are ready to get in there and see what the fuss is all about. It's not unreasonable to think that the government or an organized group wouldn't set up a camp and encourage other survivors to join them, but it could very well be a group of raiders that want nothing more than to take what you have at any cost.

Travel with caution fellow survivors and while it may sound safest to stick to yourself, there is safety in numbers. Not to mention, survival in a post apocalyptic world is an enormous chore and having the duties of survival spread across many shoulders lessens the burden for all. And for the most part, at least a tiny part of each of us wants to be part of a community.

With that said, best of luck with answering the rescue call. If you have a plan in place, escape route and proceed with caution, you may just find a safe haven from the zombies lurking outside.

Good luck and stay human. Jeannie Rae out.
