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. Yeah, it’s manly to just unscrew the compass in the handle of your Rambo knife, but it’s smarter to strap the Casio Pathfinder PAW5000 to your wrist as you plod through the brush. 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?

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.

Sometimes little details that make your life easier can give you that much needed morale boost out in the wild. The SL Pro Series for Outdoors has plenty of those little details to make you feel more prepared without having to carry a crazy amount of gear. This handy little “system” has a 50/50 serrated blade and a variety of inserts to choose from, including a magnetic light, a diamond sharpener and a fire starter (I’m talking about the fire steel, not the pyrokinetic Drew Barrymore). With this handy tool, you’ve got a blade, a bright LED light, a loud emergency signal whistle, and whatever attachment you decide to slap in there.

That handy little compass on the back of your Rambo knife is a neat toy to have when impressing the chicks, but when you really need to find your way, you really should be packing the Lensatic Tritium Compass. This is one tough cookie, capable of operating in temperatures ranging from 50 below to 150 plus (hot enough for ya?). A tritium light source allows you to see your bearing, even in total darkness. So even if you’re tucked in a hollow tree stump, hiding from zombies, you can plan your heading before stepping out in the open.

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.

Nobody likes stalking about alone while you’re moving through any unsecure areas. The buddy system will keep you alive and bite free, but for those times when you need to split up, the Motorola Talkabout lets you stay in touch with your travel buddy. With 22 channels, and a range of approximately 28 miles, the Talkabout is very reliable and you don’t have to worry about finding a 3G tower for a cell signal when you need to call for backup. Even if your loud bright pants don’t blend with the wilds around you, at least you can rest easy knowing your two-way radio will.

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.

Keep moving. That is generally your best defense against the undead hordes. For this purpose, Zprepared recommends the Colossus Versipack, a bold new, no-holds-barred approach to Maxpedition’s battlefield-proven shoulder sling concept. The Colossus has main and secondary compartments, each filled with many internal pockets and dividers. A useful feature for keeping your survival inventory organized for quick access, while allowing you to stay mobile. The frontal compartment also has an additional lower zipper opening to access items at the bottom.
Two compartments designed for CCW accessories are included in the Colossus to allow quick access to your weapons in a pinch. Concealed weapons are a necessity, even in a zombie-infested world, because Zeds aren’t the only dangers out there for Zsurvivalists. The shoulder strap has an ambidextrous shoulder pad for comfortable left or right-handed carry.
Stylishly combat-ready, easily expandable, incredibly durable and available in six colors, the Colossus Versipack from Maxpedition can mean the difference between your life and undeath.
