There is an infographic about how to create a zombie apocalypse first aid kit and we think its a great time to share it with your readers.<br /><br />If you're interested in posting it on your site all you need to do is copy and paste the text above the infographic. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions or comments and thanks for your time.<br /><br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Mike Jordan<br />425 N.
