TakeDown Recurve Bow

Baehr Manley — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:25:57 +0000

Ranged weapons are an invaluable tool to have in the fight against the undead, and the ability to bring a zombie down quietly from longer ranges is a life saver. The recurve bow is a classic design that has been used on battlefields for centuries, so its quite proven to be effective. The TakeDown Recurve from Bear Archery brings the classic design into the modern day. Much lighter and less cumbersome than a compound bow, the TakeDown can be packed easily, and it “shoots like a dream”. For all you southpaws out there, this is also available for left-handed shooters (since we’re the best shots, it makes sense, right?).

Armor Pro Tactical Knee and Elbow Pads

Baehr Manley — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:30:53 +0000

Running around looking for survivors and survival gear, or on the move from zombies, you don’t want to worry about cracking your elbow or knee on the asphalt while tripping over stray bones. You could probably get away with typical sports gear, but I’m sure you would rather slap on some Armor Pro Tactical Pads. This extremely durable hard shell protective gear is comfortable, tough and still allows full mobility. The knee pads feature a metal rivet hinge to allow a full range of motion while still offering full protection and coverage. The elbow pads feature a “grippy” cap is good for contact on all surfaces and can slide up and down for personal adjustments and fit. Just be sure to resist the urge to grab a shambler in a Muay Thai plum to throw some crushing knee strikes, or dropping a flying atomic elbow off the dumpsters. Common sense is still a much more reliable form of protection.

FirstGear TPG Teton Motorcycle Jacket

Baehr Manley — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:35:07 +0000

It’s pretty clear that you’ve got to make sure that your clothing provides ample protection in the ZApocalypse, but sporting great looking and highly functional clothing makes survival just a bit more bearable. You’re still human after all, and it’s nice to remind yourself of what humanity has left behind (and is fighting for once again). Grab a First Gear Teton Motorcycle Jacket featuring d3o intelligent shock absorption, so you can move about in style, while also sporting a protective garment when you’ve got to dispatch a group of ghouls that don’t really appreciate your fashion forward sensibility. The Teton has d3o gel in the shoulders and elbows for unparalleled flexible impact resistance. Especially if your main mode of transportation is a motorcycle. Not to mention, the zip-in liner is a stylish standalone wind/waterproof jacket with microfleece for warmth.

Sticky Foam Weapons get new Lease on [un]Life (via Wired)

Baehr Manley — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:00:17 +0000

So maybe initial tests of Sticky Foam as a less than lethal anti-personel tactic fell flat, the U.S. military is exploring further uses of the stuff as a deterrent against vehicles. However, this stuff has always had promise against the living dead. Zombies aren’t so fleet of feet, so a good dose of the sticky stuff would halt their progress rather effectively. The only thing really holding it back as a great anti-shambling-personel device was the lackluster initial results against real living (and agile) people. Now that the government is looking for alternative uses, there will be a potential for any slick survivalist worth their salt to get their hands on a Sticky Foam delivery system to put up some decent barriers preventing the needless showering of zed entrails and fluids in self defense situation. Less than lethal Z-Defense if you will.

Out in the mix, you really have to rely on your vision to make the tough shots. If your eyesight is compromised, you may very well walk right into the hungry maw of a lone zombie. As long as you’re protecting your peepers, you might as well use what the boys and girls of the military use. The ESS High Adrenaline Eye Pro CDI Max sunglasses provide some hard core eye cover. These MilSpec glasses feature an extra-wide field of view and easily swappable 2.4mm thick polycarbonate lenses, capable of withstanding a shotgun blast at 35 feet.
