Baehr Manley — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:48:27 +0000

Carrying a single Multi-Purpose tool is great when you need something that’s easy to carry, and can accomplish most tasks, but some jobs just require a full-size tool. The HiLift Multi-Purpose Tool Kit lets you carry several full-size tools, without having to deal with the unwieldy bulk, letting you swap out tool heads to do the current job at hand. It sports a tough telescoping handle that can collapse to fit into a heavy duty bag, for easy transporting.

One thing that zombie survivalists love talking about, its that one “go to” tool/weapon of choice when the living dead start feasting on flesh. Most tend to lean towards the crowbar as the ultimate, considering it’s super tough, versatile and really puts some dents in undead skulls. Well the Crovel (Crowbar + Shovel) has brought a new player into the classic debate. This beauty is made to put in some serious work. a multi-role monster, the Crovel can fill in for a crowbar, shovel, machete, saw, cleaver, grapple hook and line, and even a portable chair.

The ATAX Ultimate Survival Tool is a true “everyman” in the world of multi-tools.

Attach it to a sturdy handle, and it’s the most versatile axe you’ve ever seen. Not to mention, it can do a number on some zombie skulls. It’s almost absurd what this thing can be used for.

Digging in the day and age of the zombie apocalypse isn’t just about burying the dead. Now you’ve got all kinds of reasons, like shelter, defensive fortification, rescue, and scavenging.

Hornady Lock-N-Load AP

Baehr Manley — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:15:41 +0000

Let’s face the facts, there are more zombies than bullets in your ammo dump. The ability to drop a zed from 25 yards is a luxury out in the field, and you don’t want to have resort to swinging that sledge hammer to clear the path, just because it’s been a while since you’ve come across an ammunition stash. If you’re doing plenty of double tapping, just be sure to collect your brass and make some time in the evenings at your Hornady Lock-N-Load AP and find your inner peace while reloading your own ammunition. The Lock-N-Load AP featuresmany “quick change” options allowing you to change from .223 to .45 in minutes. This reloading press gives you the ability to reload up to 500 rounds an hour. That’s plenty of ammo for a simple supply run.

Fast, reliable, versatile and just plain cool, any survival camp needs one of these if you plan on keeping your [protective] clothes clean when wave after wave of shambling pests storm the fort. Your trigger-happy friends will thank you.
