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.

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.

Husqvarna 3120 XP Chainsaw

Baehr Manley — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:45:54 +0000

What!? All this time bringing you great products to survive the Z Apocalypse, and we’ve never talked about chainsaws?! Well that’s something we aim to remedy right now. It’s relatively well known that a good chainsaw is handy in a heavy, close-quarters zombie situation, so we’re not going to bother with the rest…we’re only bringing you the best. The Husqvarna 3120 XP is the meanest, biggest, most rugged bad boy you can swing when you’re seriously caught in a crowd of zeds.

Designed to pull chains on the longest bars Husqvarna has to offer, up to 6 feet! That’s plenty of clearing surface when you’ve got to mow down some serious reanimated corpses. I mean we’re talking limbs, heads, and even the toughest of torsos, plus you don’t have to worry about getting stuck in trees, poles or walls. The Smart Start, LowVib and other ergonomic features makes this heavy duty z killer easy to operate.

I suppose you could use it to clear trees too…

Ka-Bar Becker TacTool

Baehr Manley — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:26:17 +0000

Alright maybe zombies won’t be intimidated by your mean looking Ka-Bar Becker TacTool, but it’s definitely mean looking enough to give you a boost of confidence when facing down a couple of shufflers and crawlers. This “utility tool” is a great piece of hardware to pack when you’re moving through rough terrain or even urban sprawls.

Great for prying, smashing, hammering, cutting, slicing/dicing, caveman grunting and posturing, and more. Doors, windows, 550 cord and undead skulls are no match for the Becker TacTool. You don’t want to find out the hard way that our utility tool of choice has some serious limitations when you’re on the move in Thriller country.

DuraMax Flo n’ Go

Hudson Steele — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:22:27 +0000

The steps people usually follow when trying to siphon gas go like this: stick hose into tank, suck on hose until gas starts to flow, swallow some gas, induce vomiting, go blind. None of these steps are particularly helpful when Z’s are lurking at every corner, especially the blindness part.
When you’re on the move and your gas runs low you’re probably going to need something to help you fill up and chances are your nearest Shell Station is not going to be too helpful. The DuraMax Flo n’ Go acts as a fuel container that can both fill and syphon your tank. It features a 14 gallon fuel container with the patented Flo n’ Go Siphon Pump, to make sure you get every last drop of gas without the need for running back and forth. We’d suggest filling it up as a backup tank before you hit the road, and checking abandoned cars along the way where it’s safe.

Gerber Gun Cleaning Kit

Hudson Steele — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:35:56 +0000

Gun maintenance is a vital part of surviving post Z-day: The last thing you need when you’re facing off against a group of Z’s is your firearm misfiring or jamming. That’s why you’re gonna need a good, portable kit to make sure all of your gun cleaning needs are met.
Gerber Gear has teamed up with the folks at Otis Technology to create the ultimate firearms maintenance kit. Included in this portable pouch are all the goodies to keep your Glock in perfect running condition. In addition to the standard fair, Gerber’s Multi-Plier 600 in non-reflective black and an Ultra Infinity flashlight with red a L.E.D. bulb are added for good measure. A clean gun makes for a dead Zombie.

The machete with the power of an axe, this mean machine has been clearing brush since the 1940’s. this well balanced useful tool does a fine job of allowing you to make your way through rural and wilderness areas while looking for safety, survivors and supplies. The bonus is having a solid well build tool also capable of making short work of zombie extremities. If you find a yourself caught in a zombie’s “cold dead hands” you don’t have to worry about prying yourself out, when you can just take the whole limb off in one swing.

Skulls, wrists, knees, necks, There’s nothing that the Woodman’s Pal can’t handle when you’re out there trying to survive another night surrounded by tree and zombie limbs.
