Blame the Bible. Blame Hollywood: We're looking at you, X-Men: Apocalypse. And, of course, blame the hit series The Walking Dead.

Or skip the blaming altogether and begin to prepare for the apocalypse.

When that dark day comes, the wealthier among us—with their white-collar, dirt-free lifestyles—will be at the biggest disadvantage.

Fortunately, there is a place where the essential skills needed to ward off a zombie attack are taught—under the guise of a five-star vacation—at Montana's Resort at Paws Up. Rates start at $1,420/night per person during peak season. It's expensive, but it's a wise investment.

Dr. Ali Khan, former director of the CDC says, "If you are generally well-equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse, you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake or terrorist attack."

At Paws Up, you'll hone skills to survive whatever awaits at the end of the world.

1. A life-saving location.

According to a 2015 simulation at Cornell University, the safest place to be during the apocalypse is the Northern Rockies. That's exactly where one finds the 37,000-acre Resort at Paws Up. Its nearest metropolis, and airport, is the college town of Missoula, population 69,000. Researchers agree zombies will first attack the most densely-populated urban areas. For that reason, Big Sky Country is one of the best places to retreat. Paws Up allows the well-to-do among us to familiarize themselves with things in nature—like stars, trees, and silence—they may encounter when they flee their penthouse apartments and suburban mansions.

2. Discover alternative light sources.

The lights flicker. Then they go out. That's how every horror movie starts and it's likely how the apocalypse will begin. At Paws Up, each of the 30+ glamping tents is equipped with a flashlight. There are no overhead lights in the well-appointed luxury tents, so guests must practice adjusting their eyes to the dark. The resort has also hosted beeswax drip candle-making workshops and its Gettin' Primitive Wilderness Workshops teaches guests how to make flames the old-fashioned way—with tinder and friction.
