Most people don’t know the name John S. Barry, but almost everyone recognizes his legacy. He’s the man who made this simple, yellow and blue can ubiquitous in just about every garage in America. In honor of his passing earlier this month, Zprepared.com is reminding our readers of the contribution he made to preparing us for the Z Apocalypse.
This petroleum based wonder spray has been a fixture for do-it-yourselfers for decades. It can be used for anything from cleaning and protecting your tools and weapons, removing rust from salvaged materials, unsticking stubborn doors and locks, and getting rid of pesky squeaks that can alert Zs to your location. Personally, I like to coat my weapons with the stuff before run-ins with Zacks, as it makes it harder for them to grip and makes the gore just slide off. Their website claims over 2000 different uses but when the Zombies come, I’m sure they’ll add more to the list. Keep some in your stockpile as well as in your survival bag, you never know when it’ll come in handy.

It’s available just about anywhere and comes in a variety of sizes.
