This guide is a HIGHLY suggested evacuation plan for Franklin Pierce students who are located on the Rindge, NH campus. Maps, routes, guides, tips and all other tips associated in this article are pure recommendations; there is no promise and guarantee that this guide will grant 100 percent survival. Also, roads and other tips, such as the boat, may or may not be available for use, make sure to have your own BACK-UP plan. This guide was written by highly trained officials who thought of the best recommended guide; to all survivors reading this, good luck.

Intro:
This guide will teach you what you need to do in order to make it out of Franklin Pierce and to a safe area in a timely fashion. It will also help you on making choices on what items you need to bring in order to survive the Zombie Invasion. Please note, that during a Zombie Invasion, it will be overwhelming physically and emotionally. Survivors will be doing a lot of running and heavy lifting as well as, killing other humans and may ending up having to kill someone they care for. In a Zombie Invasion, it is a dog eat dog world.

Basic Zombie Information:
To give you a quick fill in about the zombies. They are infected humans are infected with a virus that takes control of the victims brain. The virus is similar to a severe case of rabies as well as changing the victim to have cannibalistic behaviors; which will assist in spreading the virus. The virus will eliminate the need for the heart and blood will cease to be a new. Since there is no heart beat, the virus only has a matter of months to find another human to spread the virus to before decomposition renders the host body immobile. With that being said, survivors only need to last about half a year or plus in before the Zombie Invasion ends. To avoid getting the virus, you must avoid being bitten or getting a zombie’s blood or salvia to enter your body. Sounds easy, especially when there are only a few zombies, but with ten or more zombies around, it gets very hard to avoid it. Avoid contact with zombies at all costs!

Evacuation Route: Target Location, Knockemdown Island
This route is extensive and a bit over the top, but it will get the job done. First of all, be thankful you went to school in the middle of nowhere. We have little zombies to fight because we have little humans around here, giving us the advantage to plan better, since we got more time before the zombies get to us. If we heard the broadcast of the invasion happening before it hit Rindge, begin using this plan. If the invasion happens in Rindge, begin using this plan but be prepared, because it will be a lot harder with zombies around.


First thing first, gather anyone you can tolerate for a long period of time. Groups are good, but only in manageable sizes. No more than six is our opinion. After six, groups get harder to maintain, and you also cannot fit more the six in a car with supplies. Four is the most ideal number. If your group knows that someone in your group is going to slow your group down, get rid of them. You have no room for slackers. In a zombie invasion, we go back to nature’s basics, survival of the fittest. Once you have your members of the group, it is time to GTFO of Franklin Pierce.

Second thing; take the most powerful vehicle your group has to use. You’ll need something that can plow through zombies, can handle off road and also, may need to ram other cars. An SUV with a plow attached is a good choice. Don’t go for anything flashy, because by the time you get to your destination, it won’t be in the nice condition you found it in. As you’re packing the vehicle, grab important supplies only! Blankets, first aid kits, medicine, non-perishable foods (soup, canned vegetables, etc), small amounts of clothing and other supplies that are needed for survival are a necessity. Do not bring your laptop, TV, electronics of any kind, other than a handheld radio. Electricity will become scarce after a few days in the invasion and most network shows will not be running. A radio is important so you can hear important updates from other survivors or the military. Once you gather your supplies, organize them into your vehicle, and drive on out. 

You’re probably wondering, what about weapons? Yes, now is the time for that. Since Campus Safety does not allow weapons on campus, you’ll most likely not find them in your dorm room as you pack your needed supplies. Luckily, since we live in a hunter’s paradise, there are numerous of gun and other hunting supply shops around Rindge. More so, there is one literally right down the road, 300 Archery. When you leave Franklin Pierce from the main entrance, take a left on route 119. It’s about a mile away and on the right side of the road. Eventually, you’ll see the sign to the right, stating “300 Archery.” There, you’ll find weapons, such as bow and arrows and I’m sure they have small fire arms there. If not, there is a bigger gun shop not far from Keene. It is in the town of Troy; more precisely, on route 12, heading towards Keene. They have more guns and archery equipment. Not to encourage stealing, but, in this case, survival holds more importance over monetary policies. When choosing your weapons, do not take the big and heavy guns. We understand that guys want to have the biggest penis, but in this case, avoid this. Grab lightweight weapons, such as pistols. There is no need to carry a military sniper rifle or any other huge gun that will weigh you down. Carry something light and easy. You’ll already be carrying ammo and other supplies for earlier, why make it harder for you?’
Now that you have your weapons, time to get to the seashore. That’s right; you’re going on a boat. Here is the trick though; you’re going to want to follow the given map. Main highways will most likely be jammed, and going through major cities will be a pain. NOTE! This map is assuming that the most ideal situations have happened. You may have to leave your car and grab another one, or worse, have to walk it. This route will help you avoid cities, but it will take more time. When traveling this map, whether by foot, car, anything, always be on guard. Don’t let your guard down just because you haven’t had an encounter a zombie in a while. Also, shoot only when you have to. This isn’t Halo, no damn killing sprees. If there is a zombie blocking a much needed path, such as a grocery store for re-supplies, then shoot. Be prepared to fight zombies within ear-shot of the gun fire. When you get to Portsmouth, Hampton or the shore now is the time.
Pick your boat wisely! Like the car, nothing flashy! Take a boat that can hold your supplies and everyone in the group. Make sure you grab some spare fuel from gas stations, so that you can replenish the tank if need be, and so you can make fewer stops on your way down to Knockemdown Island. The island is located at coordinates: 24° 42.9’ N and 81° 28.7’ W. When traveling down to the island, stay close to the shore as to see it, but far enough away from Zombie’s harm. When needing fuel and food, pull off to the shore, this is why you want a small boat, and have people recruit food and fuel. Someone has to stay with the boat, and recommended that it is two people. The rest, minimum two, go out and scavenge. When you finally reach Knockemdown Island, enjoy your stay! The island has deer on it, as well as natural fruit. You can hunt the deer and harvest the fruit. If medicine or any other necessities are needed, Knockemdown Island is only accessible by boat, so, leave with your boat, and go to one of the keys and begin gathering from the major towns there. Also, Knockemdown Island has a house on it, with a weather monitoring system that is owned by the government. This will help you keep note of any hurricanes or bad storms en route and you’re on a tropical island, holding out fort till the invasion is over. Enjoy your stay.


Conclusion:
This guide will only describe the most ideal situations. This is an obvious case of, easy said than done. To all survivors of Franklin Pierce using this map, good luck and be careful. Be smart, you’re in college, so we’re assuming you have great intelligence. Hopefully, you’ll be able to survive this disaster, and continue life the way you would like. Good luck, live long and prosper.
