A principle that I would keep would be integrity. I have made a vow to myself before, to not make promises that I cannot keep. I also do not accept promises made to me, unless I am 100% certain they will not break the promise. I believe that during a post-apocalyptic situation, I will still commit to this vow. If I am still alive in the apocalypse, then I will always be honest with whoever I am with. I would not want to be telling lies to anyone, or getting anyone's hopes up because that would just be terrible especially in this situation. It isn't a nice thing to lie even nowadays, so why lie to someone when you both know that your days are numbered.
I will make sure everything that I do is moral, and just to myself, and who I am. Moral does not mean that I will not kill because that is not the definition of moral. In some peoples' eyes, killing another person may be an immoral thing to do, but given this situation, my view or morality will obviously change. If my life is on the line, and I need to kill someone in order for me to survive, then of course I could kill someone, I want to live. But if there is someone else out there that isn't harming me in any way, then why do I need to kill them? If I leave them alone, then hopefully they will do the same.
I will always make sure I take care of whoever is with me. Let it be a family member, a friend, or a stranger that I have stood with to survive, I will always take care of them. The people who you are around in times like these, are the people that you have to trust. There is no exception. They travel with you, they will always be there with you, and if you feel that they are a threat, then you need to get out of the situation immediately. Building a relationship between the other person doesn't necessarily need to have a bond with you. The two should be able to trust one another with their lives. Therefore, the right thing to do is care for somebody. Always take care of them, but don't forget to also take care of yourself.
