Survival is hard enough when you’re worried about shelter, supplies and self defense. Add on the complication of treating injuries and survival really starts to be a problem. You don’t want something as simple as an untreated minor injury coming back to bite you in the but like a short zombie that snuck up on you. The Expedition Professional Medical Kit comes PACKED with all the first aid supplies you need to prevent any loss of life, and risk of the return of unlife because one of your crew stepped on a rusty nail. Good for groups up to 15 people, the Expedition has whatever you need for your extended survival needs.


Ka-Bar Next Generation Fighting Knife

Ka-Bar Next Generation Fighting Knife

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

Whenever we here at ZPrepared look at knives, generally we’re looking for a knife that also has several utility functions, so you can minimize the amount of gear you’re carrying. But you know what? Screw that for once. We’re going to talk about a straight up fighting knife. The Ka Bar Next Generation Fighting Knife is a no nonsense knife made for killin’ or de-animating in our case. Sometimes you need to take a zombie out without attracting too much attention and a tactical folder just doesn’t seem like the type of blade that you can just plunge right into the brainpan of the unfortunate zed that shambled in your path. Ka Bar has a long standing tradition with the military, and is about as combat tested as a modern blade can be. The Next Generation comes complete with a stainless steel blade appropriate for use in wet conditions (which to us includes zombie spillins).

Absolut 100

Absolut 100

When it comes to our stockpiles we like all our goods to multi-task. Most people don’t realize this, but Vodka can be used for a multitude of different things that could be handy in a post Z-apocalyptic society. Keep your razors and blades sharp; it can do that. Personal hygiene? Vodka can be used as an astringent, shampoo, and even mouthwash. It’s even a medicine cabinet in a bottle; offering remedies for aches and pains, ear aches, blisters, infections, toothaches, and even fevers.
That’s why ZPrepared suggests keeping plenty of Absolut 100 on hand. Made with only all natural ingredients, this 100 proof Vodka is a Zombie survivalists Swiss Army knife in a handsome black bottle. When all else fails, just put the bottle to you lips and enjoy it’s distinct spicy notes, smooth taste, and velvety texture. Just remember to drink in moderation, just because your stumbling around like a zombie doesn’t mean they won’t be out to get you.


Zombie Pigs First, Then Hibernating Soldiers (via Wired)

Zombie Pigs First, Then Hibernating Soldiers (via Wired)

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

What?! DARPA is funding the Texas A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies (TIPS) to develop a cocktail that will extend the “golden period” when injured war fighters have the best chance of recovery from massive bloodloss? They’ve awarded 9.9 million to TIPS to develop an injection that will place the injured soldier into a state of suspended animation where the body does not require oxygen, as well as stopping further blood loss (the heart stops beating). The soldier will have a much longer window of treatment after which they will be “reanimated” and once recovered fully, back out on the battlefield in search of brains.

They’ve successfully conducted trial on rats, and now they’re using pigs because their cardiovascular system is close to a human’s. Is this the new swine flu? Will we see a horde of crazed pigs shambling through the streets in search of man-bacon?

disclaimer: I actually dig the fact that they’re doing this type of research to help save the lives of injured soldiers on the battlefield. Many lives are lost due to blood loss that is normally preventable, but not in the heat of battle. I just hope they’re not makin’ zombies.

Nothing splits a Zed Head’s skull like a well made Axe. Sure, you can trust your life to a machine built one you picked up at Home Depot, but at ZPrepared we like our weapons to have a bit more flare.
The Best Made Axe Co. hand makes each and every Axe to order. Each one features a hand painted and polished 30″ hickory helve with a 3.5 lb fine grain steel bit. This type of craftsmanship and care doesn’t come cheap, the price ranges from $250 to $500 bucks. Just don’t come complaining to us when the cheapo axe you picked up cracks under the pressure.

Scavanged by Hudson Steele

There’s two ways to get the name “Doctor” in for the Zombie Apocalypse: The first being an actual doctor with an actual degree, the second is being a Master Surgeon with complete mastery of the Scalpel. When I say Master Surgeon, I mean a dead-shot with any rifle from Surgeon Rifles and when I say Scalpel, I mean their custom Tactical Rifle that bears that name.
Surgeon Rifles carries a wide range of fully customizable, long range rifles for those who’s idea of fun doesn’t include getting up close an personal with the Undead. Just find some high ground, stock up some extra Ammo and pick ‘em off one by one.

It also features plenty of cargo space or you can opt for one of several dedicated pods; including a generator power plant, fuel tanks, or just convert it into living quarters.
