A riot shield can come in handy when
working with small numbers of zombies. The
process of taking off the car door is pretty
straightforward since you're not concerned
about preserving the wiring. Simply remove
the bolts in the hinges connecting the door
to the rest of the car and remove the door.
SURVIVAL TIP
use a car door
as a riot shield

Mirrors can be used to start a
fire, seat belts would make
incredibly strong rope, not to
mention all electrical benefits
of a car battery and alternator.

SURVIVAL TIP
burn a tire for
a smoke signal
A tire can catch fire when heated above 750
degrees Fahrenheit, which is doable for most
campfires. A single tire can yield up to 2
gallons of gasoline, which will contribute
to a hotter and longer lasting smoke signal,
and will be seen miles away.

SURVIVAL TIP
sleep in a trunk
to avoid walkers
Sleeping in the trunk of a car isn't the
first choice for most, but it keeps you out
of sight for walkers. The average compact
car's trunk space is about 12 cubic feet,
which means you can fit 2 - 3 people in the
trunk of the car for a night if you need to.
