Earth friendly is all fine and good, but if you’ve got a fuel source available and a lot of rough terrain to cover, the John Deere M-Gator A1 is a great, reliable way to get you and your supplies from point A to point B. The Gator is John Deere’s Mil-Spec ATV capable of hauling serious equipment with plenty of room for survivors as well. Not as large and bulky as a full size vehicle, this thing gives you speed and mobility to easily stay on the move. Right now it’s only available for Military, Law Enforcement or First Responders, but hey, if you fit that role, and you want to stay zprepared, then this puppy is for you.

The ATTV from Hackney is the ultimate Zombie Survival Mobile Command Center. Designed for Special Ops, this Bad Boy is just begging to be converted into a Zsurvivalists home away from home or a runabout for Zombie infested areas. Featuring a 350hp diesel engine and an Allison automatic transmission, there isn’t much terrain you can throw at it that it can’t handle. The Tank Treads offer maximum grip while still being able to cross trenches (up to 6.6ft) and climb over obsticles (up to 3.3ft). It also features plenty of cargo space or you can opt for one of several dedicated pods; including a generator power plant, fuel tanks, or just convert it into living quarters. It comes either fully armored or non-armored for a heavier payload and larger glass.

The Bergmoench Downhill Device isn’t your typical two wheel mountain trail transportation. One of the perks of this unusual transport is the ability to carry it like a rucksack if you’re hiking up hills to scout areas. once you reach your desired elevation, just slap this thing together and wheel around like a scooter. If you find yourself in a hairy situation, or if you’re ready to head back down, the true strength of the Bergmoench kicks in as you fly downhill with the stability of a mountain bike. Effortlessly put some distance between you and the zombie mountain-folk in style. It’s pricy, especially for a one-trick pony, but when you’re looking at a potential zombie Deliverance, that one trick could save your life.

I know what you’re thinking. ‘Does that bike have 9 gears, or only 7?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Smith & Wesson Tactical, the most rugged bicycle in the world, and would get you anywhere you need to go, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
I know what you’re thinking, and no, this post wasn’t mislabeled; Smith & Wesson does make bicycles. Built specifically for use by law enforcement, security and emergency response teams, this bike is an ideal mode of transport in an Undead world. Rugged, reliable, and versitile, this Bad Boy can get you no 4-wheeler can, without the use of fossil fuels.

The thing about cars and SUV’s, you’re pretty limited to roads and trails. No matter how rugged your SUV is there’s no guarantee that it will get you to where you need to go unscathed. When your back’s against the wall water and you’ve run out of road, it’s best you have an option other than to ditch you vehicle.
The Gibbs Humdinga can operate both a land and on water, making roads almost obsolete in some areas. Don’t mistake this for some gimmick though, the full time All-Wheel Drive, 350hp, 5.7 liter V-8 engine is no joke. Capable of propelling you to 100 mph on land and 40 mpg on water, this Bad Boy is a good choice for Zsurvivalists looking for a rugged, versatile vehicle that can get some distance between you and the Z’s without relying on asphalt. There’s no pricing info as of now, but I’m pretty sure it’ll cost a pretty penny.

Ever wonder what would happen if you took a Hummer and an RV and locked them in a hotel room together with some Champagne and Marvin Gaye on the stereo? Me neither, but I’m pretty sure the result would be similar to the Amerigo Unimog from Unicat. This Baby has all the trappings you’re going to want if you need to go off grid for a while after Z-Day. Permanent full-time 4-wheel drive, Mercedes-Benz 906 diesel engine, 60 gallon fuel tank, high articulating coil spring suspension; the list goes on and on. It doesn’t stop at just off-road readiness either, mounted on it’s back is a fully useable RV featuring a kitchenette (with a fridge, stove, microwave, & sink), Queen sized bed, washroom with a shower and a toilet and seating for up to 4 people. They even thought ahead enough to make sure all the windows and skylights were Burglar-Proof and Scratch resistant.
Consider this the Mullet of Recreational Vehicles, all business in the front, party in the back.

When hitting the road after an outbreak you don’t have to have be the fastest, just faster than the Z’s. There are many situations where 4 wheelers can’t get to where you need to go, and many people are intimidated by the big engines and the manual clutch of motorcycles.
We at Zprepared suggest the Zuma scooter from Yamaha for all your Zombie scooting needs. Available in both 49cc and 125cc variations, this is one tough scooter. It features either a peppy air cooled 2-stroke 50cc engine or you can opt for the larger, fuel injected 4 stroke if you need a little more power. The beefy tires make sure you don’t have to worry about the roads being paved and the fuel economy is unbelievable, getting an amazing 123mpg for the smaller of the two.
Hopefully, after Z-Day, most people you run into won’t remember the joke about scooters and fat chicks… If you don’t know the joke, google it.

Zombies can walk, crawl, or climb thru just about any terrain, on land or at sea. The only thing we know Zombies can’t do is Fly. Planes and Helicopters are great forms of transportation, if you have the know how and fuel, but for sustained defense they fail miserably.
The Solar Powered Airship from Turtle Airships just might be the ideal Zprepared base of operations.
This lighter than air ship runs purely on solar power (with a bio-diesel backup engine) for sustained flight. It can land just about anywhere, with VTOL and amphibious capabilities so there is no need for runways. It fits 3-5 people but I’d save a little room for supplies and weapons.
Judging from this AWESOME photoshop job and their stellar website, there’s no telling when, or if the project will be commercialized. Let’s hope we can get our hands on one before Z-Day.

If you can get past some of the obvious shortcomings, Jeep Wranglers are great Zombie Survival rides. They’re rugged, relatively compact, and in 4X4 variations, Rubicon tested. Unfortunately, they have limited cargo-space, very little by way of exterior protection, and compared to some of their larger cousins (such as the H1 and Land Rover), aren’t as off road ready.
The folks at Landrunner Conversions are here to help. They offer a wide variety of upgrades and accessories that are sure to get your Jeep where it needs to be by Z-Day. Upgrade the body, add a roof rack for extra storage, attach one of their mean looking fastback shells, and throw a bumper guard and winch in for good measure and you’re pretty much good to go.
You can either bring your Jeep in, or send away for the Do-It-Yourself Kit.
