Zombie Barricade Tape

Baehr Manley — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:13:07 +0000

We’ve covered warning signage when it comes to marking dangerous areas, but sometimes you need something quick and temporary, while you’re on the go. The fine folks at TshirtBordello.com have it covered with their Zombie Barricade Tape. It’s one thing to mark an entire building, or field with permanent signs, but as you’re clearing out areas, you can quickly block off areas to warn your friends as you’re moving room to room, clearing dead heads out of abandoned buildings. The last thing you need is part of your crew wandering into a dangerous situation because you didn’t have anything on hand to quickly mark the doorway as you step away to prepare for clearing.

Jack Black Mr. Fix It Wound Rescue

Baehr Manley — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:22:05 +0000

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.

Hudson Steele — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:40:14 +0000

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 – Awake the Dead Energy Drink

Hudson Steele — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 14:21:43 +0000

We have a saying here at ZPrepared, actually we have several, “Keep your blades sharp and keep your mind sharper!” Scrambling for you life for days on end can take a toll on your body, and your brains. In order to keep your wits about you during crucial moments it’s important to be able to give your mind a quick boost, especially considering sleep is a rare commodity in a Post Z-apocalypse world.
That’s why as a quick pick-me-up we suggest having an ample supply of Energy Drinks on hand. But being Zombie survivalist, not just any Energy Drink will do. The Zombie Awake the Dead Energy Drink is the perfect answer when fatigue is not an option. These compact 8.4 ounce cans are easily portable and pack plenty of caffeine to keep you going when the going gets tough.

Starbucks VIA™ Ready Brew

Hudson Steele — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:04:03 +0000

If you’re anything like us at Zprepared, facing a regular day without a decent cup of coffee is unbearable. Add scavenging for supplies and battling Hordes of the Undead to you daily to do list, and life without your first cup ‘o joe really will be Hell. Most instant brands taste like crap and there’s a good chance the Starbucks at the corner is not going to be re-opening anytime soon.
That’s why we suggest you pick up several packs of Starbucks VIA Ready Brew before the Zhit hits the fan. Unlike regular instant coffee, these things actually taste like the real deal. They also come in ready to use, single serving packs so they’re perfect for when you’re on the go; just add hot water.
A quick piece of advice: Learn to enjoy your coffee Black now, as cream and sugar will probably become pretty scarce and it’s not worth lugging around the extras.

Cheeseburger in a Can

Hudson Steele — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:22:00 +0000

At Zprepared we love our canned foods. Unfortunately, eating String Beans an Chicken Noodle Soup meal after meal gets old pretty fast. After a few months of the same old same old, nothing sounds better than biting into a big juicy Cheeseburger, but chances are you’re not going to be able to pull into your local drive-thru to get you fix.

That’s why we suggest picking up a few cases of Cheeseburger in a Can from Trek’n Eat. Just throw this sucker into some hot water for a few minutes, pop that can, and enjoy. It has a shelf life of about 12 months and there’s no need to refrigerate. Now all we need is some Fries in a pouch, and Milkshake in a bottle and we’re good to go.

Highland Hiking and Survival Staff

Baehr Manley — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 13:05:44 +0000

Whenever you’re out for a supply hunt, zombies aren’t the only danger you need to be wary of. Losing your way is always a possibility and not having the right tools to help you get around and survive is a very scary thought. It’s hard to have all the necessary tools on hand, but with the Highland Hiking and Survival Staff you can make sure you’ve got several valuable hiking and survival tools within reach. Developed jointly by Cane Masters (a true authority on self defense canes) and Colorado Search & Rescue, this bad mama jamma is made of 1-inch diameter solid American hickory and weighs in at less than three pounds. The crook designed into the staff helps you reach further for more mobility, on top of giving you a nice hook for grabbing zombie necks and limbs to control the distance in a self defense situation.

It’s got plenty of features to help you get back to base in one bite-free piece as well. 35 feet of paracord, a military designed whistle that can be heard from a mile away, a steel chisel tip (for piercing zombie faces), a fluid suspended compass and a bit of swedish firesteel to top it all off.

Penicillin is one of the single most important discoveries in modern medicine. Saving uncountable lives, the miracle drug could spell the difference between life and death when visiting a doctor becomes an impossible dream.
In a Post-Zapocalyptic world finding antibiotics is not going to be an easy task. The last thing you need after surviving hordes of the Undead, battling looters, and living though veritable hell is to succumb to an infected cut or sickness. It’s important to know how to make your own anti-biotic in cases of dire emerge. Print the link out below and make sure you keep it in your Zsurvial pack, just in case. Use it only in an emergency situation as the results can be dangerous, even if done properly.
