Motorola Walkabout T9650R

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

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.

Highland Hiking and Survival Staff

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

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.

Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

We may not be Zombologists, and it’s difficult to say what the long term effects of winter is on the bodies of zombies, but we do know that extreme cold temperatures slow them down, and in some cases make some nice zombie-shaped ice sculptures. The problem is, traveling through such extremes is much harder on living bodies, so we need some help. The Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag is tailor-made for the task. It’s rated for temperatures as low as -40 degrees (fahrenheit and celsius, how convenient). This sleeping bag is made to survive and help you stay warm and comfortable in the harsh climates you’re looking for to escape midnight snackers. Let the other survivors stupid enough to stay in comfortable weather lay around like burritos offered to the undead deities roaming around the state parks.
