Highland Hiking and Survival Staff

Highland Hiking and Survival Staff

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

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.

There are so many things that are right with Tactical Bacon I don’t even know where to start. It’s Bacon, comes in a can, requires no preparation, has a ten year shelf life, and it’s Bacon in a frickin’ can! Even the folks at Think Geek who are selling this product know its Zombie Apocalypse potential. Each can comes with 54 strips of delicious bacon so there’s plenty to go around, or you can just choose to be a selfish jerk and keep it all to yourself.

There’s no telling how long it’s going to be available so pick up a few cans NOW!


Original ‘True Ways’ 5 Day Survival Course

Original ‘True Ways’ 5 Day Survival Course

Scavanged by Hudson Steele

If you live in the U.K. or are willing to travel there, I’d suggests spending some time on one of the ‘True Ways’ Survival Courses. There are plenty of other worthy training programs, probably closer to you than this one, but any course with SAS member and survival author Lofty Wiseman as member of the instructional team is worth checking out.
This 5 day course will definitely run you through the ringer. You may go in a rookie, but you’ll come out with survival skills perfectly suited for the Zombie Outbreak: Shelter Building, Fire Staring, Site Selection, Food Gathering, Fishing, Navigation, Finding Plants for Medicine, just to name a few. Sure, you could spend your time visiting the Big Ben and checking out the Crown Jewels, but those won’t help you on Z-Day.

Also available are 2 and 3 day courses if it suits you better.


When Zombies Attack! : Mathematical  Modeling Of An Out Break Of Zombie  Infection

When Zombies Attack! : Mathematical Modeling Of An Out Break Of Zombie Infection

Scavanged by Hudson Steele

Some very smart mathemagicians in Canada have put together a model for the Human survival of a Zombie Outbreak. It’s a whopping 150 pages but if you’re into Maths at all, it’s probably worth a gander.

Their Abstract statement:

“Zombies are a popular figure in pop culture/entertainment and they are usually
portrayed as being brought about through an outbreak or epidemic. Consequently,
we model a zombie attack, using biological assumptions based on popular zombie
movies. We introduce a basic model for zombie infection, determine equilibria and
their stability, and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions. We then refine the
model to introduce a latent period of zombification, whereby humans are infected, but
not infectious, before becoming undead. We then modify the model to include the
effects of possible quarantine or a cure. Finally, we examine the impact of regular,
impulsive reductions in the number of zombies and derive conditions under which
eradication can occur. We show that only quick, aggressive attacks can stave off the
doomsday scenario: the collapse of society as zombies overtake us all.”

I think the model is slightly flawed, as it does not include those of us preparing for the Outbreak!


Mayday Emergency Food Rations – 3600 Calorie Bar

Mayday Emergency Food Rations – 3600 Calorie Bar

Scavanged by Hudson Steele

When you’re on the go, there’s not always going to be enough time to break for a meal, and lugging around enough food can take up precious space in your pack. That’s why when you’re on the move to a new area, or spending the day scavenging for supplies, we suggest bringing along a good meal bar to keep you energized and alert.
The Mayday Emergency Food Ration contains a whopping 3600 calories per bar, and is high in all recommended vitamins. It can be stored in up to 146 degrees and requires no preparation; just open and eat. If rationed properly, this sucker can last for 3 days but you’re probably going to end up polishing it off in 2, especially if you’re mobile. When it comes down to a choice of living off the Mayday Bar, or succumbing to the Undead and un-living off brains, I’d choose the Mayday Bar any day of the week.


Safe Room

Safe Room

There’s a good chance you’ve probably seen or heard of the move Panic Room with Jodie Foster. If you haven’t, it might be worth while to check it out: not for it’s cinema quality or entertainment value but rather to get an idea of how you’re going to plan your own Zprepared Saferoom.
American Saferoom Doors is the company that not only developed the concept of the Saferoom, but they also served as consultants on the film. They’ll provide the planning and oversee the construction of your very own Zombie proof home modifications to your desired specs. You can get a range of features such as Sliding Pocket Doors, Swing Doors, and even Hidden Bookshelf Doors, that lead into a fortified room or area of your home. Several other options are available such as Manual and Magnetic Locks, Air Filtration Systems, and Re-enforced Walls and Windows.
Personally, I plan on building a secret door into my closet that has a Fireman’s pole down to a fully stocked basement.


Zombie Caution Signs – From HorrorSigns.com

Zombie Caution Signs – From HorrorSigns.com

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

Setting up safe zones requires clearly marking areas to clearly warn people of what to watch out for and avoid. When things start popping up (from their graves), it’s nice to know that there are already a set of signs you can pick up and post without having to break out the Sharpies and cardboard. Sure these are currently being sold as decorative accessories for horror movie enthusiasts, but once the Z Apocalypse arrives, at least you won’t have to wait for the government to start contracting sign manufacturers to print up helpful signs.

Alright, so they’re not DOT approved, and they’re intended for decorative purposes…for now, but they’re made of sturdy aluminum, and printed with computer cut, automotive grade vinyl. They’ll most likely last, and people are used to this style of warning signs, so there will be little issue of trust, knowing that people will heed the warnings.

Survival Seed Bank

If you’re anything like us, you’re preparing for the long haul. That means a fortified shelter, lots of supplies, and a plan to sustain yourself once the dust settles a little. When your food stores run out you’re going to need a way to sustain yourself, and other survivors you’ve collected along the way. When the going gets tough, the though get GROWING.

Most people don’t realize that the Produce you buy in the grocery store are of a Hybrid variety, meaning you can’t just plant the seeds from a Golden Delicious and expect to grow an apple tree. We recommend having your own supply of self germinating, survival ready seeds to grow your own crops. The Survival Seed Bank fits the bill perfectly. This kit comes with all the basics for starting your own renewable food source. It features 22 varieties of Open Pollinated “Super Seeds” that yield a full acre of nutrient-dense food crop. They’re individually vacuum packed for maximum shelf life; up to 20 years at 70 degrees, and up to 100 years when frozen so they’ll be ready to plant when you are. The kit also includes a nifty bottle of “Nitro Seed Starter Solution” to help jump-start your crop and a handy manual for rookies. All you need to supply is the land, water, ample light, and the manpower to make it happen. While the rest of the world is scrounging for leftover cans of baked beans, you’ll be feasting on fresh healthy veggies grown with your own hands.
