Dead Girl Sullen Tee by Simon Hayag

Hudson Steele — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:37:28 +0000

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.

APK Combat Trainers

Baehr Manley — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:36:27 +0000

Fighter pilots are familiar with the phrase “Speed is life”. Never let your speed drop, or you’re risking being out maneuvered or put in a bad situation. Urban zombie survival could learn a lot from this mantra. If you’ve got to get around quickly, you don’t want something as simple as keeping stuff in your hip pockets slowing you down. American Parkour’s APK Combat Trainers allow you to keep all your gear in the sealable upper thigh pockets where they don’t restrict your movement, and stay secure on your person during crazy evasive movement. These are standard military BDU pants, so you know they’re durable, plus keeping your flexibility means your movement is not restricted on the move from high density zombie filled areas.

Tactical Duostock Complete Assembly

Baehr Manley — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:05:14 +0000

The Tactical Duostock was developed with CQB (Close Quarters Battle) in mind, and when you find yourself moving through tight confines of a known zombie zone, you’re going to want one of these on the butt end of your carbine of choice. The Complete Assembly comes with everything you need to convert your AR-15/M4 and M-16 family rifles/carbines to a collapsable duostock. Designed for entry work and room clearing to allow fast target acquisition on the move, it increases your accuracy and gives you a stable shooting platform, keeping you safer in the more heavily infested areas.

Chrome Mini Metro Buckle Messenger Bag

Mil Spec gear is a great choice for things like bags, clothing and other accessories, but that doesn’t mean it has to look “Mil Spec”. The Chrome Mini Metro messenger bag features a rugged weatherproof Cordura outer shell, with military spec binding to protect your gear from the weather, or splattered zombie bits from melee combat. Not to mention, the main over-the-chest load stabilizing strap is made from five bar seat belt webbing with a quick release car seat belt buckle (that doubles as a bottle opener), so it’s tough enough to hang on to all your equipment. But in a pinch (or a grab) of some zeds get a hold of your bag, the quick release buckle lets you get clear and fight from a safer position and not be dragged into the hungry pack of flesh eaters. Stylish, compact and tough, the Chrome Mini Metro looks great and gets the job done. Exactly what we’re looking for at ZPrepared.

See Snake Micro Rigid snake cam

It doesn’t matter if you’ve got to find out if zombies are lurking inside that abandoned Circle K (as Bill and Ted have taught us…there are strange things afoot at the Circle K), or that shady looking cave/mineshaft you found boarded up, you need to safely put eyes in there to see if it’s safe to enter and start your inspection. Nothing complex like a loud clunky RC truck with a camcorder taped to it, just something simple like the See Snake by Rigid. This handy little snake cam gives you the ability to see into tight spaces or under the doorway into the room from the safety of the other side. It’s got adjustable LEDs and a mirror attachment to pipe the feed directly to the handheld 2.5″ LCD color screen. With a 10 foot reach you no longer have to worry about “touching that with a 10 foot pole”, since you can take a peek first.

MSR Lightning Snowshoes

Although Winter time may offer up a nice reprieve from the Undead (Zombie-cicles anyone) it can make moving around quite difficult. Sub 0 temperatures, where Zombies become frozen statues, are great conditions to re-stock and re-supply essential goodies as long as you’re not stuck in a hellish Winter wonderland yourself. That’s why we suggest getting some Snow friendly footwear before the Blizzard hits.
The MSR Lightning Snowshoe is the Cadillac of Winter footwear. Designed for just about any terrain, these ultra-light snowshoes will get you anywhere you need to go, as long as it’s on foot. If you live in the rugged peaks of the Rockies or the flat plains of the Mid-West, these bad boys offer unparalleled convenience and grip. The Total-Traction frame delivers perfect 360 grip while the user friendly 3-strap step-on binding ensures that you can quickly put them on and take them off in sticky situation. When you’re out trying to stock up on supplies waist deep in snow, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Now that you’ve got your Bushmaster 6.8 SPC rifle, you need the right piece of flair to really get some “bang for your buck” (no I’m not sorry for that). The Mako T-Pod Foregrip with integral tactical flashlight really makes your new toy much more fun to bring to the zombie playground. either as a foregrip, or a bi-pod you can make sure you’ve always got control of your weapon to make those wicked head shots to impress everyone in your crew when the shamblers are creepin’ too close to the safehouse. Not to mention, the integral tactical flashlight lets you make those shots in low light conditions as well. The Mako T-pod maintains a low drag profile and allows to the operator to deliver a full 100 lumens of light, and functions as a fully adjustable wide stance bipod.

X6 Draganflyer UAV

Baehr Manley — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:30:57 +0000

Scouting ahead isn’t always a smart thing to do in areas with clusters of shambling undead. It’s dangerous, takes a lot of manpower, and is mentally draining on your group. You need some eyes in the sky in the hard-to-scout urban ruins. Why not slap a camera on the X6 Draganflyer 6 rotor UAV and put some eyes high up where you can actually see that crowd of zombies waiting in line for the midnight release of your brains. The x6 is expendable, reliable and easy to fly. You can mount any type of surveillance equipment to suit your needs, whether its a still camera, a high resolution camcorder, night vision or thermal imaging (not that zombies put out much heat), giving you some serious versatility that would take a lot more manpower and coordination on the ground. I think the biggest plus for me is the anti-vibration camera mount, so I don’t have to worry about getting sick like we’re recording the sequel to the Blair Witch, or Cloverfield. Just one more thing to be thankful for.

ESS CDI Max Sunglasses

Baehr Manley — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:20:27 +0000

Out in the mix, you really have to rely on your vision to make the tough shots. If your eyesight is compromised, you may very well walk right into the hungry maw of a lone zombie. As long as you’re protecting your peepers, you might as well use what the boys and girls of the military use. The ESS High Adrenaline Eye Pro CDI Max sunglasses provide some hard core eye cover. These MilSpec glasses feature an extra-wide field of view and easily swappable 2.4mm thick polycarbonate lenses, capable of withstanding a shotgun blast at 35 feet. Not to mention, they’re nightvision compatible, so you can wear your sunglasses while hunting zombies at night, Corey Hart.

Delta 5 Tactical Vest – CamelBak

Baehr Manley — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:35:12 +0000

Staying on the move is essential when you find yourself exposed and in need of finding new shelter, or a better fortification (beyond just a hasty fighting position). When you’re on the go, the ability to carry as much as you can is really going to help your long term ability to see another day. Staying hydrated will also help you stay on the move, but if you’ve got to stop to get your canteen, that just ain’t efficient when flesh eating zombies are on your tail. The Delta 5 Tactical vest by CamelBak carries 3 liters of water, with fully integrated hands-free hydration.

Built for speed in tactical environments, the Delta 5 features MOLLE attachments for CamelBak pouches and zip cuffs. It’s adjustable to fit most sizes with and without body armor underneath, and if things head south, it’s also got a heavy duty low profile drag handle, so your crew can pull you out of the party when the zeds get a little crazy.
