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.

Stinger 20×36 Electronic Shield – Convex

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

Barricades are great for keeping zombies at bay, but when your out in the field you can’t bring your fortifications with you. Stinger Systems Ice Electrified Shield gives you a portable barricade that you can use to keep any unwanted visitors back. The Convex shape prevents undead flailing and grabbing limbs from reaching around and getting a grip on your clothing or extremities. The bonus of this shield is the ability to shock any living threats with the flip of a switch. Not all your problems are of the undead variety. Great for urban exploration with two person teams.

Zombie Caution Signs – From HorrorSigns.com

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

Setting up safe zones requires clearly marking areas to clearly warn people of what to watch out for and avoid. When things start popping up (from their graves), it’s nice to know that there are already a set of signs you can pick up and post without having to break out the Sharpies and cardboard. Sure these are currently being sold as decorative accessories for horror movie enthusiasts, but once the Z Apocalypse arrives, at least you won’t have to wait for the government to start contracting sign manufacturers to print up helpful signs.

Alright, so they’re not DOT approved, and they’re intended for decorative purposes…for now, but they’re made of sturdy aluminum, and printed with computer cut, automotive grade vinyl. They’ll most likely last, and people are used to this style of warning signs, so there will be little issue of trust, knowing that people will heed the warnings.

Hilco Wilson Zoom Sports Glasses

Scavanged by Hudson Steele

Two of your greatest weapons against the Undead are your mobility and awareness of your surroundings. What you see, or don’t see, largely effects your chance at surviving an outbreak. The last thing anyone needs is be cornered by a group of Zombies and have your glasses fall off your face and being forced to search around for them like Thelma from Scooby-Doo.

That’s where the Hilco Wilson Zoom Sports Glasses ($99.99-$129.99) come in handy. They’re tough, durable, well secured, and keep nasty things such as debris and blood from getting into your eyes when in sticky situations. I would suggest a pair, even if you don’t need a perscription.

Meets ASTM F803 impact standards for basketball, soccer, racquetball, tennis, squash, field hockey and women’s lacrosse
Independently PECC Certified
Exclusive Grid-LOK™ side profile keeps unfriendly fingers out while maintaining excellent peripheral vision
Maximum airflow means less fogging

Premium quality, adjustable head strap
