There’s nothing worse than getting caught in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse empty handed. Tools are key to survival, and especially when your survival depends on a war waged with the living dead. Here is a list of 10 essential items to survive a Zombie Apocalypse.

Good car to drive after a war

(Obsure Bob Dylan quote.)

[ßuddaßudd]

oppps,, I aplogize for the swear word everyone.

Isn’t that tutorial misleading? I mean, zombies can’t run, can they? I thought they could only stagger at a fast pace.

[Professional]

Ok, if I’m dealing with Zombies, I’m going to make an effort to get as far away from them as possible. After a while, they will run out of food, and actually have the courtesy of dying off, or at least becoming very weak, teeth falling out for sure...

See, then I come back, and live like a King. But, not until they’re all very dead first. Granted, that would make a very lame tv show...

Zombie 6K Run

[OB1kNOb]

I stand corrected, LOL! Guess I’d better become better informed or I could be dinner.

[wardaddy]

don’t get bit is top priority

and yes...I watch that PC tripe on AMC just to see how well some Hollywood idiots can exploit southern stereotypes

and other garbage

silly but sorta watchable

all this junk forms our kid’s worldviews

[txhurl]

Good practice because not ALL zombies are slow these days.

[Renderofveils]

Granted, that would make a very lame tv show...

Probably not much more lame that what would realistically happen. Day 31: 99.9% of humanity gone. The remaining .1% wishing they had.

Bows have a low rate of fire and rely on bleeding to kill their targets. Zombies don't bleed. You need the shock tissue damage of bullets.

Gun power does not get wet when it is sealed inside the little things we call ‘cartridges’.

How many arrows can you carry? really? A few dozen? I can store ammo by the thousands in handy water tight cans. A few belt pouches and I have hundreds of rounds on my body and they don't get in the way of firing my weapon.

Also if I get a good field of fire I can drop zombies from hundereds of yards away. Many models of guns need little or no cleaning. An AK can kill zombies all day and all night for years with no cleaning.
Good call o
n the Kevlar. Anti shark or anti-knife gear is what you want. Cut resistant gloves and sleeves at a minimum.

Chlorine from what?

Nuke stations are designed with automatic fail-safes, but active and passive. They will not just randomly melt down if no one is running the place.

I forgot to ping you to something.

That stomach..nom nom nom

[j.argese]

Another important point, are they zombies as a result of natural means, such as virus or supernatural means. If it's the former, you can find a safe place to wait it out until purification works it's course. If it's demon based, all bets are off.

Mozambique Drill. Double tap to the chest, one to the head.

[Sloth]

Once the power goes out, you're going to have to deal with chlorine gas settling into low lying areas after cooling stations go down(read: around water supplies,) radiation from just about every nuclear reactor in the affected area going into meltdown (unless by some miracle those that know how to operate them KEEP operating them,)

You seem to have an unrealistic impression of what goes on at public utility plants.

[justlurking]

Guns, lots of guns

[rickb308]

LOL.

[antiRepublicrat]

Nuke stations are designed with automatic fail-safes, but active and passive.

What you really have to worry about is the spent fuel in the water tanks. Those will heat up after the water's evaporated without being replaced (pumps are dead, no electricity), and eventually burn, throwing radioactive smoke everywhere.

[America_Right]

11) Barber kit. Zombies can’t grab ahold of short hair.

Nah, my head will be covered with a chainmail coif. That was a damn good idea. It seems as though the zombification virus is always transmitted via bites from zombies. Chainmail completely negates that issue!

[rickb308]

LOL
