BEST Zombie Gear by Category

http://foxhugh.com/2015/12/28/best-zombie-gear-by-category/

The focus of this article is to identify the BEST gear by category to survive Z day regardless
of cost. This article is not about the best value. A lot of the gear listed here is extremely
expensive but thats often the case with the best product of any type! Looking at the best is
not a bad idea even if you are going to get something less expensive. You become familiar
with the specs of the best and then search for something that has similar specs but is a better
value.
1) Backpack
Eberlestock X3 LoDrag Pack is designed to carry your long gun around better than any other
backpack in the world! Unlike a soldier, much less a camper, you might be roaming for
months or even years in a zombie world and if you lose your rifle and/or shot gun then you
lose your life. I have been a nomad my whole life and have learned the hard way that if you
are on the move and cant pack it well then you are you are going to lose it! In the prezombie world this applies to your passport more than anything else (Passport Pocket for
Cargo Pants).
2) Clothing
If you in a zombie world then you are doing lots of things that damage your hands including
gathering wood, chopping through brush, breaking into stores to get supplies and punching
out people that dont understand English. An injured hand means you are severely
incapacitated so you need to protect your hands with gloves. Also, I am pretty sure a punch

to the head of zombie can do the job in many instances but you need the right gloves for the
job! Punch that zombie with Blackhawk Men's S.O.L.A.G. HD Glove with Kevlar.
Zombies dont shoot! Zombies bite! Guess who else bites? Sharks! A shark suit is designed
with bites in mind and is light weight compared to anti-ballistic body armor.
Neptunics NeXt Generation Sharksuit
The Sharksuit is well suited for zombies but not for a non-zombie world. There are some
interesting variations in body armor including Dragon Skin and Liquid Body Armor.
3) Communication
Ham radio is the best way to communicate with the world when the phone cell towers go
silent. However, there is a lot more than just gear involved and Ham radio requires an
investment in time to learn how to use and maintain the equipment. Also, Ham radio flunks
the portability test.
The second route is focus on communication with friends and loved ones using a Walkie
Talkie. However, until the cell phones go dead you want to use your cell phone! Why
choose? The Motorola i355 (Nextel) is both a cell phone and a Walkie Talkie.
4) Fire Starters
When it comes to zombies you can never have too many knives! Maybe the zombies attack
when you are making a fire! The Tool Logic SL3 Tactical Folding 1/2 Serrated Knife with
Magnesium Fire Starter is a fire starter and a knife in one package!
5) Fishing Gear
I am assuming you already have rifle and/or shot gun so you have hunting game covered.
However, there are an awful lot more fish in the world than game and fishing makes a lot less
noise than shooting game! What needs to be understood is that your fishing to survive not
have fun and nets allow for passive trapping unlike fishing poles and take up a lot less space
so throw out the fishing pole and go with a fishing net. The Survival Gill Net
Best Glide ASE is compact and durable!
6) Light
The MPOWERD Luci is an inexpensive solar charged lantern that can produce 80 lumens of
light for a 15 square feet area.
7) Medical Kit
I think gear needs to be related to your overall strategy. The number one plan should be to
get to a beach and head for an islet. Hopefully you identified the islet and prepositioned your
supplies. The Adventure Medical Marine 300 Kit deals with many scenarios you would
handle on the seas and also deals with wounds.

8) Multi-Tool Kit
One big division between multi-tools is big ones that need fit on your belt and little ones that
fit on your key ring. If you are going to go big then go all the way with the Power Tech Fire
Talon. The Power Tech Fire Talon is tough and most of all has two LED lights so you can
work at night!
The best small multi tool is the Titanium Utility Ring because it doesnt look like a multi-tool
and lets you play James Bond when the bad guys take you captive. Additionally, a punch is
all the more effective with any ring on and this ring, with one of the blades out, will do even
more damage.
9) Survival Tent
There is no sense surviving the zombies but dying of exposure to the elements. The Trango
3.1 tent from Mountain Hard Wear is portable and extremely sturdy.
10) Transportation

The zombies arrive and you need to get out to an unpopulated area fast! Cities are great preZ Day but Z-Day means all those people in the cities are just going to be thousands of
zombies that will soon be millions of zombies, if you wait too long! The problem is the roads
are bumper to bumper. If at all possible then your plan should be to go to the sea shore and
get to an uninhabited islet from the sea shore. As mentioned before, you had this strategy all
alone and prepositioned supplies on the islet so you can travel light. If only you had a boat
that fit in your small garage or cargo area of your truck, is easily transported to the seashore
and is easy to use! WoKart does the job!
Not all of us have the luxury of being next to the sea shore so you are going to hit the road.
Redundancy is good especially when it comes transportation. I would start with a truck to get
me out of the city for starters because I can fit plenty of supplies in the cargo space but I

would also like some sort of off road vehicle in that cargo space if the road becomes
impassable. Thats where the Defender HD8 XT comes in handy.
11) Water Purifier
You can only really last a 2-3 days without water. There is a theory that the reason there are
so many Chinese is because early on they boiled water while the West did not boil water. If
you drink bad water then sooner or later you will get sick and even die and people need to
drink a lot of water. There are several excellent products out there but I would go with the
Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System because the system only weighs two ounces and most
of all the product can filter 100,000 gallons despite the low weight. In contrast the very
popular LifeStraw Survival Water Filter only filters 264 gallons and is also about two ounces.
12) Weapons (Melee)
Sure you can get a cheap machete at Walmart but dont go crying to mommy when the
handle shatters and the wood shards cut your hand in the middle of a zombie fight. You need
sturdy equipment that isnt going to break and thats what the Gerber Apocalypse Kit
promises.
13) Weapons (Ranged)
You did your research and realized that the best fire arm is a shotgun. You need to hit the
head and might not have time to aim carefully. If price is no object then the Beretta 1301
tactical shotgun is probably the best tactical shotgun out there.
Suddenly you are surrounded by fifty zombies! You arent going to shoot your way out of
this one even with a tactical shotgun! I bet you wish you had a flame thrower and guess what
you can turn your shot gun into a flame thrower with Dragons Breath! This is one dangerous
weapon and you will burn a lot of zombies but if you arent careful you might burn yourself
as the video below shows:
The shot gun is great but boy its noisy and sometimes you want to take out the zombies from
afar quietly and thats when the PSE Tactical Crossbow comes in handy!
What do you think? I welcome comments from readers!
