Baehr Manley — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:33:03 +0000

It’s always a good idea to know how to make fire anywhere, or to bring some other fire-making tools, but that doesn’t mean you should never pack a lighter for when you need a quick flame with minimal fuss. The Windmill Delta Stormproof Lighter lets you make any hasty campsite a comfortable and safe one, without having to burn those precious calories you need to survive when fighting for fleeing zombies.

Catalyzer coil provides a powerful flame that can withstand 70 – 80 mile per hour winds; lighter burns a clean, hot flame at 2,000°F
Reliable piezoelectric ignition system delivers over 30,000 ignitions
Adjustable gas flow allows usage at varying elevations
O-ring seals keep water out when the cap is closed; stainless-steel wire flips down to ensure cap stays closed

The Crovel

Baehr Manley — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 18:16:34 +0000

One thing that zombie survivalists love talking about, its that one “go to” tool/weapon of choice when the living dead start feasting on flesh. Most tend to lean towards the crowbar as the ultimate, considering it’s super tough, versatile and really puts some dents in undead skulls. Well the Crovel (Crowbar + Shovel) has brought a new player into the classic debate. This beauty is made to put in some serious work. a multi-role monster, the Crovel can fill in for a crowbar, shovel, machete, saw, cleaver, grapple hook and line, and even a portable chair.

Titanium Pocket Tool

Even though you’ve got a lot of tools back at the camp, they don’t really help out when you’re on the field and find yourself in need of a wrench. The PocketToolX Titanium Pocket Tool should fill that need nicely, however. With and hidden pen knife blade, and a 1/4 inch Hex bit screwdriver (Phillips and flat head), this bad boy can pull off all kinds of jobs, including bottle opening and wire stripping. Sporting a quarter inch machined titanium body, this little puppy slips right into your pocket, so it’s always handy when you’re out scavenging the wastelands, and find that perfect piece of “scrap” to help fortify your zombie HQ.

All Steel Super Penertration Shovel

Baehr Manley — Tue, 31 May 2011 10:35:05 +0000

Digging in the day and age of the zombie apocalypse isn’t just about burying the dead. Now you’ve got all kinds of reasons, like shelter, defensive fortification, rescue, and scavenging. You can’t waste time and energy chipping away at hard surfaces with a blunted shovel, which is why any smart survivor is slinging the all-steel Super-Penetration Shovel. it cuts through hard, compacted soils, like soft rotted flesh. Not to mention, punching through the faceplate of the walking dead.

Casio Pathfinder PAW5000

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?

Hornady Lock-N-Load AP

Baehr Manley — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:15:41 +0000

Let’s face the facts, there are more zombies than bullets in your ammo dump. The ability to drop a zed from 25 yards is a luxury out in the field, and you don’t want to have resort to swinging that sledge hammer to clear the path, just because it’s been a while since you’ve come across an ammunition stash. If you’re doing plenty of double tapping, just be sure to collect your brass and make some time in the evenings at your Hornady Lock-N-Load AP and find your inner peace while reloading your own ammunition. The Lock-N-Load AP featuresmany “quick change” options allowing you to change from .223 to .45 in minutes. This reloading press gives you the ability to reload up to 500 rounds an hour. That’s plenty of ammo for a simple supply run.

Fast, reliable, versatile and just plain cool, any survival camp needs one of these if you plan on keeping your [protective] clothes clean when wave after wave of shambling pests storm the fort. Your trigger-happy friends will thank you.

See Snake Micro Rigid snake cam

Baehr Manley — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:45:51 +0000

It doesn’t matter if you’ve got to find out if zombies are lurking inside that abandoned Circle K (as Bill and Ted have taught us…there are strange things afoot at the Circle K), or that shady looking cave/mineshaft you found boarded up, you need to safely put eyes in there to see if it’s safe to enter and start your inspection. Nothing complex like a loud clunky RC truck with a camcorder taped to it, just something simple like the See Snake by Rigid. This handy little snake cam gives you the ability to see into tight spaces or under the doorway into the room from the safety of the other side. It’s got adjustable LEDs and a mirror attachment to pipe the feed directly to the handheld 2.5″ LCD color screen. With a 10 foot reach you no longer have to worry about “touching that with a 10 foot pole”, since you can take a peek first.

Blackhawk U.K. M.O.E. Entry Kit

Baehr Manley — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:15:29 +0000

Survival when dealing with larger hordes of zombies in heavily infested areas is all about mobility. If you find yourself required to move through urban areas and need to get in and out of buildings fast to stay on the move then you need to make sure you’ve got the Blackhawk UK M.O.E. Entry Kit strapped to your back. Even if you just need a quick easy way into a building to grab supplies and get out, this pack will fulfill your needs. This bad boy comes standard with the Super Boltmaster for making short work of locks and fences, the CQB Ram for bringing the door down, and the Hallagan Tool for break and rake window entry. All of these tools are non-sparking and non-conductive to 100,000 volts AC, so no need to worry about accidentally setting off any spilled fuel, or killing yourself by hitting an exposed wire. Safety is the key here when you’re busting into ruins for supplies.

Best Made Axe

Hudson Steele — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:12:24 +0000

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.

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.
