Video Games have taught us a lot about surviving a Zombie Apocalype. From Zombies Ate My Neighbors to the Resident Evil series, gamers have been trained over and over in the tools of the trade when it comes to putting down Zed-Heads. That’s why it’s no surprise that a Video Game website has some good insight on whether or not you’re prepared to survive ZDay. Study the flowchart, and make sure you’re ZPrepared for all the possible scenarios.
You’ve been up for hours fighting hordes of the Undead. Tired and hungry, all you need is a quick pick me up before jumping back into the fray. That’s when you reach into your survival pack and tear open a pack of Perky Jerky from Think Geek. This wonderful creation combines our love of both Jerky, the ultimate Zombie Survival food, and Caffeine, the lifeblood of the modern man. Waste no time prepping your meal or boiling the water for a quick cup of Joe, these handy packets offer just what you need when time is crucial. Each pack contains two 1oz. servings of delicious Jerky with a whopping 150 mg of precious caffeine.
When it comes to our stockpiles we like all our goods to multi-task. Most people don’t realize this, but Vodka can be used for a multitude of different things that could be handy in a post Z-apocalyptic society. Keep your razors and blades sharp; it can do that. Personal hygiene? Vodka can be used as an astringent, shampoo, and even mouthwash. It’s even a medicine cabinet in a bottle; offering remedies for aches and pains, ear aches, blisters, infections, toothaches, and even fevers.
That’s why ZPrepared suggests keeping plenty of Absolut 100 on hand. Made with only all natural ingredients, this 100 proof Vodka is a Zombie survivalists Swiss Army knife in a handsome black bottle. When all else fails, just put the bottle to you lips and enjoy it’s distinct spicy notes, smooth taste, and velvety texture. Just remember to drink in moderation, just because your stumbling around like a zombie doesn’t mean they won’t be out to get you.
Nothing splits a Zed Head’s skull like a well made Axe. Sure, you can trust your life to a machine built one you picked up at Home Depot, but at ZPrepared we like our weapons to have a bit more flare.
The Best Made Axe Co. hand makes each and every Axe to order. Each one features a hand painted and polished 30″ hickory helve with a 3.5 lb fine grain steel bit. This type of craftsmanship and care doesn’t come cheap, the price ranges from $250 to $500 bucks. Just don’t come complaining to us when the cheapo axe you picked up cracks under the pressure.
There’s two ways to get the name “Doctor” in for the Zombie Apocalypse: The first being an actual doctor with an actual degree, the second is being a Master Surgeon with complete mastery of the Scalpel. When I say Master Surgeon, I mean a dead-shot with any rifle from Surgeon Rifles and when I say Scalpel, I mean their custom Tactical Rifle that bears that name.
Surgeon Rifles carries a wide range of fully customizable, long range rifles for those who’s idea of fun doesn’t include getting up close an personal with the Undead. Just find some high ground, stock up some extra Ammo and pick ‘em off one by one.
We have a saying here at ZPrepared, actually we have several, “Keep your blades sharp and keep your mind sharper!” Scrambling for you life for days on end can take a toll on your body, and your brains. In order to keep your wits about you during crucial moments it’s important to be able to give your mind a quick boost, especially considering sleep is a rare commodity in a Post Z-apocalypse world.
That’s why as a quick pick-me-up we suggest having an ample supply of Energy Drinks on hand. But being Zombie survivalist, not just any Energy Drink will do. The Zombie Awake the Dead Energy Drink is the perfect answer when fatigue is not an option. These compact 8.4 ounce cans are easily portable and pack plenty of caffeine to keep you going when the going gets tough.
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.
Cracked.com has put out a helpful and insightful article on 5 Zombie Survival Tactics and the possible pitfalls associated with them. It does a great job in highlighting the problems associated with certain contingency plans. Hopefully, you incorporate a few countermeasures into your own plans, just to be prepared. Without going into detail, they do highlight some interesting points.
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.
If you live in the U.K. or are willing to travel there, I’d suggests spending some time on one of the ‘True Ways’ Survival Courses. There are plenty of other worthy training programs, probably closer to you than this one, but any course with SAS member and survival author Lofty Wiseman as member of the instructional team is worth checking out.
This 5 day course will definitely run you through the ringer. You may go in a rookie, but you’ll come out with survival skills perfectly suited for the Zombie Outbreak: Shelter Building, Fire Staring, Site Selection, Food Gathering, Fishing, Navigation, Finding Plants for Medicine, just to name a few. Sure, you could spend your time visiting the Big Ben and checking out the Crown Jewels, but those won’t help you on Z-Day.
Also available are 2 and 3 day courses if it suits you better.
