Bushnell Fusion 1600 ARC

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

A major key to successfully surviving a salvage mission into an unknown quadrant is information gathering. If you don’t know enough about an area, its good to have a powerful set of eyes, like the Bushnell Fusion 1600 ARC Rangefinder Binoculars. Ranging function from 10 to 1600 yards, this beauty also has Bow and Rifle modes to help you true horizontal distance, and bullet drop/holdover, so if you’ve got to take a shot while your scouting, you can stack the odds of a zombie kill shot into your favor.

Casio Pathfinder PAW5000

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

When you’re trying to get around in the wild, its not just about your physical ability, and mode of transportation. You gotta know all about the area you’re in, if you want to travel smart.

This elegant all-in-one packs a triple-sensor analog digital timepiece that also includes direction altitude, barometric pressure and temperature sensors. The only thing missing is a zombie sensor, but the convenience that this piece affords allows you to spend more time scanning the horizon for shambling figures, rather than fumbling about with multiple sensors and instruments.

Did we mention, it’s solar powered, so you don’t have to worry about making a battery run when you’re running low on the juice?

US Military Tritium Lensatic Compass

Delta 5 Tactical Vest – CamelBak

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

Staying on the move is essential when you find yourself exposed and in need of finding new shelter, or a better fortification (beyond just a hasty fighting position). When you’re on the go, the ability to carry as much as you can is really going to help your long term ability to see another day. Staying hydrated will also help you stay on the move, but if you’ve got to stop to get your canteen, that just ain’t efficient when flesh eating zombies are on your tail. The Delta 5 Tactical vest by CamelBak carries 3 liters of water, with fully integrated hands-free hydration.

Built for speed in tactical environments, the Delta 5 features MOLLE attachments for CamelBak pouches and zip cuffs. It’s adjustable to fit most sizes with and without body armor underneath, and if things head south, it’s also got a heavy duty low profile drag handle, so your crew can pull you out of the party when the zeds get a little crazy.
