I know what you’re thinking; “Wait a minute, this is a Zombie survival site.  What the hell is the ShamWow listed here?”  To paraphrase an old wise saying:  A towel, is about the most massively useful thing Zombie Survivalist can have.  It can dry you off after it rains or a quick river bath, keep your gear clean, and can be used to wipe the blood, sweat and grime off your body after a messy run-in with some Zed-Heads.

Whether you’re on the go or hiding in your impenetrable fortess, you’re gonna need at least one good towel.  I would’nt trust all that work to beach blankets and paper towels, so it might be wise to pick up a pack of ShamWows.  Compared to the alternatives, these things rock.  They’re small, lightweight, and hold up to 12 times their weight liquid.  Unlike their cotton counterparts, you won’t have to lug around a damp ball of wetness hours after using it.  They come in a handy 4 pack (2 large, 2 small) for about 20 bucks, so you can keep several with you for various uses.
