Picnic Time Buccaneer Grill

Baehr Manley — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 20:18:37 +0000

I’m sure there are a lot of crazy folk that actually enjoy MREs, Spam, or some other survival food that most are already sick of while walking the zombie wilds. Hunting and fishing are excellent ways to change up the pace when it comes to meal time, so you’re gonna want a Picnic Time Buccaneer Grill when the time comes to sear the meat (and I suppose veggies) to perfection. If you’re going to spend the time to track down your prey, you may as well make sure its prepared to the best of your ability.

Humidibreeze Portable Misting Fan

Baehr Manley — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 12:32:48 +0000

The Summer months are upon us, and its not easy dealing with the hot weather. When you’re chilling out keeping an eye on the horizon for a group of zombies trying to beat the heat, its nice to know that the Humidibreeze portable misting fan can keep you comfortable during your shift. Keeps you cool, and even moisturizes the air around you, so you don’t have to worry about that dry Vegas air wearing you down. Plus, it only uses 70 watts per hour. That’s less than a 100 watt light bulb, so even if you have this thing hooked up to a battery or generator, it’s not gonna drain the power, even on the hottest of days.

Lift Trax Portable Traction

Baehr Manley — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 06:13:42 +0000

Having a big rugged 4×4 isn’t always a guarantee that you can always get through any terrain. In the old world, you had the luxury of taking your time to get out of a jam. Sure it wasn’t always pleasant, but you didn’t have to worry about a pack of zombies zeroing in on your position. That’s where the Lift Trax portable traction system comes into play. It gives you a quick portable way of giving your hooptie a lift when you get stuck, or make a seemingly impassable gap into something you can just hop right over with a little tap of the gas pedal.

Casio Pathfinder PAW5000

Baehr Manley — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 20:47:25 +0000

When you’re trying to get around in the wild, its not just about your physical ability, and mode of transportation. You gotta know all about the area you’re in, if you want to travel smart. Yeah, it’s manly to just unscrew the compass in the handle of your Rambo knife, but it’s smarter to strap the Casio Pathfinder PAW5000 to your wrist as you plod through the brush. This elegant all-in-one packs a triple-sensor analog digital timepiece that also includes direction altitude, barometric pressure and temperature sensors. The only thing missing is a zombie sensor, but the convenience that this piece affords allows you to spend more time scanning the horizon for shambling figures, rather than fumbling about with multiple sensors and instruments.

Did we mention, it’s solar powered, so you don’t have to worry about making a battery run when you’re running low on the juice?

US Military Tritium Lensatic Compass

Baehr Manley — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:26:07 +0000

That handy little compass on the back of your Rambo knife is a neat toy to have when impressing the chicks, but when you really need to find your way, you really should be packing the Lensatic Tritium Compass. This is one tough cookie, capable of operating in temperatures ranging from 50 below to 150 plus (hot enough for ya?). A tritium light source allows you to see your bearing, even in total darkness. So even if you’re tucked in a hollow tree stump, hiding from zombies, you can plan your heading before stepping out in the open.

Sea to Summit Pocket Shower

When you’re out on a mission to find survivors or supplies in the wilderness, or rural areas, you’ve already got plenty to bring along with you to survive. You don’t also need to bring the funk. The Sea to Summit Pocket Shower allows you to bring a warm shower with you wherever you go.

High-performance polyurethane-coated nylon fabric is water- and leakproof; large roll-top opening allows easy filling
Black color absorbs heat from the sun to warm the water, or you can simply add hot water directly to the bag
Twist the shower head to control water pressure; 10-liter volume provides approximately seven minutes of showering

Colossus Versipack

Max Hard — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:51:36 +0000

Keep moving. That is generally your best defense against the undead hordes. For this purpose, Zprepared recommends the Colossus Versipack, a bold new, no-holds-barred approach to Maxpedition’s battlefield-proven shoulder sling concept. The Colossus has main and secondary compartments, each filled with many internal pockets and dividers. A useful feature for keeping your survival inventory organized for quick access, while allowing you to stay mobile. The frontal compartment also has an additional lower zipper opening to access items at the bottom.

Two compartments designed for CCW accessories are included in the Colossus to allow quick access to your weapons in a pinch. Concealed weapons are a necessity, even in a zombie-infested world, because Zeds aren’t the only dangers out there for Zsurvivalists. The shoulder strap has an ambidextrous shoulder pad for comfortable left or right-handed carry.

Stylishly combat-ready, easily expandable, incredibly durable and available in six colors, the Colossus Versipack from Maxpedition can mean the difference between your life and undeath.

Lawson Blue Ridge Camping Hammock

Hudson Steele — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:27:52 +0000

A good night’s sleep can mean the difference between becoming Undead lunchmeat and surviving to live another day. When on the go or in the open, you’re not always going to find a secure place to button down for the night. It’s really important that you have a safe place to catch some Z’s before the Z’s catch you.
The Blue Ridge Camping Hammock by Lawson Hammocks can be set up just about anywhere; suspended in or high tree or on the ground quickly and easily. Specifically designed for backpacking on hard terrain, this tent can be used where no other tent can even dream of going. It’s lightweight (less than 4.5 lbs), weather resistant, and flying insect free. In addition, it features a built in nylon pack cloth bed so there’s no need to lug around an additional pad.
All you have to do is find a tree out of Undead reach, set it up, and drift off into a Zombie free sleep. Just make sure that you check your surroundings and keep the noise down, you don’t want to end up as a Pinata for a Undead feeding fiesta!

Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag

Baehr Manley — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 08:30:28 +0000

We may not be Zombologists, and it’s difficult to say what the long term effects of winter is on the bodies of zombies, but we do know that extreme cold temperatures slow them down, and in some cases make some nice zombie-shaped ice sculptures. The problem is, traveling through such extremes is much harder on living bodies, so we need some help. The Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag is tailor-made for the task. It’s rated for temperatures as low as -40 degrees (fahrenheit and celsius, how convenient). This sleeping bag is made to survive and help you stay warm and comfortable in the harsh climates you’re looking for to escape midnight snackers. Let the other survivors stupid enough to stay in comfortable weather lay around like burritos offered to the undead deities roaming around the state parks.

Palisades Dog Pack

Baehr Manley — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:10:34 +0000

Dogs are man’s best friend, and zombies’ worst enemy. This faithful companion is a valuable member of any survival party. We rely on their great sense of hearing and smell to keep us out of harms way, and as an early warning system for camps and fortifications. Now you can also share the burden of your survival gear with the Palisades Dog Pack, the leader of the packs. Built for rugged conditions, this pack will allow Wolfy to bring along extra survival gear, first aid equipment, or even spare ammunition for when you find yourself in an extended zombie rush.
