Zombie Survival Gear<\/p>\n

The 13 Essentials:
\nAre you prepared for the next outbreak? Make sure to keep this gear at the ready. Also, learn the five critical skills that’ll help keep you from becoming a snack for ravenous hordes of flesh-eating ghouls.<\/p>\n

1. Hydration backpack:<\/a> Keep one step ahead of the horde. Stay hydrated on the go.<\/p>\n

2. Energy foods:<\/a> If you want to stay alive, keep your energy levels high.<\/p>\n

3. Stormproof matches:<\/a> They light up no matter how horrifying the weather.<\/p>\n

4. Mini playing cards:<\/a> Great for playing poker with fellow survivors. When your friends are gone, there’s always solitaire.<\/p>\n

5. Survival knife:<\/a> When the dead walk the earth, make a sharp blade your new best friend.<\/p>\n

6. Moleskin\/first aid:<\/a> One blister is more dangerous to you than ten zombies. Apply moleskin immediately.<\/p>\n

7. Tactical flashlight:<\/a> Handy for scouting dark locations and can temporarily disorient an approaching zombie.<\/p>\n

8. Hand-crank radio:<\/a> Scan the airways for the latest updates about safe zones. No batteries required.<\/p>\n

9. Utility cord:<\/a> Early zombie detection system. Set up trip-wire alarms around your campsite.<\/p>\n

10. Signal mirror:<\/a> Be ready to flash one when the rescue shopper flies overhead.<\/p>\n

11. Insulated vest:<\/a> Allows excellent range of motion for chores such as chopping up wood and zombies.<\/p>\n

12. Cast-iron skillet:<\/a> Cooking tool and a blunt instrument with awesome zombie-stopping power.<\/p>\n

13. Trail running shoes:<\/a> Move fast to avoid the walkers. Trail shoes provide stability and support on a wide variety of terrain. Don’t give zombies anything to eat. Stay on your feet.<\/p>\n
