Video Games have taught us a lot about surviving a Zombie Apocalype. From Zombies Ate My Neighbors to the Resident Evil series, gamers have been trained over and over in the tools of the trade when it comes to putting down Zed-Heads. That’s why it’s no surprise that a Video Game website has some good insight on whether or not you’re prepared to survive ZDay. Study the flowchart, and make sure you’re ZPrepared for all the possible scenarios.
At Zprepared, we like our transportation to be functional, rugged, and reliable. It also doesn’t hurt if it’s economical and downright cool looking too.
With style that harkens back to WWII, Royal Enfield Bullet C5 Military offers all the nostalgia of days of yore with all the benefits of a modern motorcycle. The 499cc, single cylinder, 4-stroke engine sips gasoline (estimated 85 mpg) without sacrificing power and Electronic Fuel Injection ensures that running from Zombies is a breeze in those chilly morning starts. There’s also a wide variety of add-ons and accessories to make sure it’s ready by ZDay, but until then the 2 year unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty will make sure it’s in tip-top shape when it does.
I know this is meant to be funny, but to us it’s downright scary. The last thing we Zsurvivalist need are more Zed-Heads running around with confidence and drive. It was bad enough when they were shambling around all day bitching and groaning for ‘Braaaiiiins’.
We don’t post many fashion tips at Zprepared, unless you’re talking about protective gear and clothing, but when one of our good friends designs a shirt that not only promotes Zombie awareness but also is disturbingly sexy, we have to post about it. Tattoo artist Simon Hayag has designed a Tee for Sullen Clothing that will look good in any wardrobe, Zombie aficionado or not. Made from 100% cotton, this Tee will do little to protect from the hungry jaws of the Undead, but maybe it will distract them just long enough to get away.
Maybe you only need to make short runs. Maybe you don’t know how to drive a real car. Maybe you’re the type of person who wants to shave a few strokes off of your handicap, Zombies or no Zombies. Whatever the reason, it’s hard to fault you for wanting the ATAC Armored Golf Cart in your garage when the Zs come calling. Designed for close quarters anti-terrorism use, this thing is perfect for short jaunts to and even into the grocery store to pick up supplies. The designers claim that it can withstand close range gun fire, and even grenade blasts, so I’m pretty sure the biting and scratching from some Zedheads wont have any real effect. It’s still in conceptual phase, and chances are you won’t be able to get one, but you could always build your own. Just remember to carry a shotgun next to the Putter in your bag, who knows what the terrain will be like.
No guts no glory? Problem is, zombie guts equal bad news, so no glory is the best way to survive, if you don’t want to get taken out by some random infection from a cut or scrape after clearing a mob of shamblers. Jack Black Mr. Fixit Anti-Microbial Wound Rescue utilizes the benefits of silver to quickly heal wounds, scrapes, cuts, burns and abrasions. This quick-absorbing, petrolatum-free healer has been shown to inhibit the growth of MRSA, Escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, along with other germs and bacteria that often thrive in heavily infested zombie communities.
Also, since it utilizes the “benefits of silver”, you’re also covered in case the whole threat of supernatural infectious diseases moves on to more nocturnal, fanged variety. Keep a bottle of Mr. Fix It on hand, and make sure you check and treat even the most minor of scrapes after every major scuffle, ’cause the last thing you want to be is that guy that brings the whole compound down with fear and paranoia…Or even worse, the munchies when you’re craving flesh.
There’s a lot of crap in the air, and it’s only going to get worse when the zombies show up. particulate matter, paint fumes and vapors are the least of your concerns when you paste a zed at close range with some double-ought buckshot at point blank range. You can’t risk breathing that stuff, but 3M has got you (or at least your face) covered with the 7000 series full faceplate respirator. It doesn’t matter if you reduce those Thriller video extras to a fine grayish-red mist, you can breathe easy, knowing you won’t be taking a piece of them with you, stowed away in your lungs. Plus the wide faceplate doesn’t restrict your vision, so even if you can’t smell them coming, you can still see them flanking you.
