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?

Now that you’ve got your Bushmaster 6.8 SPC rifle, you need the right piece of flair to really get some “bang for your buck” (no I’m not sorry for that). The Mako T-Pod Foregrip with integral tactical flashlight really makes your new toy much more fun to bring to the zombie playground. either as a foregrip, or a bi-pod you can make sure you’ve always got control of your weapon to make those wicked head shots to impress everyone in your crew when the shamblers are creepin’ too close to the safehouse. Not to mention, the integral tactical flashlight lets you make those shots in low light conditions as well. The Mako T-pod maintains a low drag profile and allows to the operator to deliver a full 100 lumens of light, and functions as a fully adjustable wide stance bipod.

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.

That handy little compass on the back of your Rambo knife is a neat toy to have when impressing the chicks, but when you really need to find your way, you really should be packing the Lensatic Tritium Compass. This is one tough cookie, capable of operating in temperatures ranging from 50 below to 150 plus (hot enough for ya?). A tritium light source allows you to see your bearing, even in total darkness. So even if you’re tucked in a hollow tree stump, hiding from zombies, you can plan your heading before stepping out in the open.

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.

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.

After a particularly tough night pushing zombies back from your home base, it’s sometimes necessary to fortify your perimeter. Exhaustion from all night fighting isn’t an excuse to put it off, because you don’t know if the next wave is on the way. The JacPac Pneumatic nailer/stapler gives you the convenience to quickly nail some boards in place and get your fence back up quickly, or strengthen your barricades. Powered by a refillable CO2 canister that you can wear on your hip, the nailer will allow you to move around quickly to the parts of your perimeter that need your attention the most.
JacPac® “nailed it” with this puppy.

When you’re running around salvaging gear, repairing equipment, or taking things apart, we here at Zprepared feel that you need a good multitool to reduce the amount of actual bulky tools that you may need to carry. I don’t know how many of you have tried to use standard pliers to remove stubborn nuts and bolts, but the Leatherman Crunch makes sure you don’t have to suffer through that again. This beast includes a set of freakin’ vice grips. Now you can grip stubborn hex heads like a zombie grabbing baggy clothing or a sweet flowing mullet. 13 tools total (you’re going to find your standard set of leatherman features) but c’mon, you’re only looking at this because of the vice grips. They’re vice grips, son! Get a grip (I’m sorry I had to throw that pun in there).

In the landscape of the Zombie infested urban sprawls, moving through streets and alleys isn’t always an option. Lucky for us, the folks at ResQmax have been providing quality “line throwing appliances” for military and rescue application. The doorway and stairwell isn’t always the best option to reach rooftops while moving through the city, so having a grappling hook launcher gives you a much more feasible option to escape the clawing masses of slack-jawed brain chewers. The ResQmax Tactical Launcher can either fire a Nylon/Spectra line, or an ascending ladder.

Axe? Got it. Hammer? You bet. Windshield cutter? no problem. Spanner wrench, gas shut-off, forcible entry, battery disconnector, hood remover…? Er sure why not. The Firemaxx tool has been providing many uses to fire fighters, but in the zombie infested wastelands that you’re (hopefully) preparing for, this bad boy will give you plenty of bang for your buck. Salvage, search and rescue, self defense/zombie skull busting, it’s got something to help with a multitude of post apocalyptic tasks. This beast measures in at 26 inches and tips the scales at 7.5lbs. Also available in 22 inch.
