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.

Baehr Manley — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 20:47:25 +0000

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?

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.

SL Pro Series Utility Knife

Baehr Manley — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:31:17 +0000

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.

US Military Tritium Lensatic Compass

Baehr Manley — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:26:07 +0000

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.

Delta 5 Tactical Vest – CamelBak

Baehr Manley — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:35:12 +0000

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.
