Your dad’s F-150 isn’t going to get you far when traveling through zombie-infested regions. Although not for the faint-of-wallet, check out Conquest Vehicle Inc’s Knight XV ($310,000+). Inspired by the Gurkha military vehicle, the Knight XV is billed as an ultra-luxurious, hand-crafted, fully-armoured SUV. Packing a 6.8 litre, Bio-fueled V10 engine, the Knight XV also boasts a roof-mounted spotlight, external listening device, security cameras, interior oxygen survival kit, and auxilary fuel tank.

Made with up to 18′ of 550# military grade paracord, this is one bracelet that could really come in handy. Also available as belts, watch straps, lanyards, or key fobs, Survival Straps ($18+) are worth wearing so you can rest assured that you will always have access to an emergency length of reliable cord. Even better, if you ever do have to unwind and use your cord, the company says to just send it back to them and they’ll make you another one free of charge. Just remember to take into account how much a zombie uprising may affect the postal service while waiting for your replacement.
Ah, the crowbar. Long heralded as the premier weapon in the defense against zombies due to its long reach, skull-spearing ability, and no need for ammo. This titanium model is sure to deliver. The Manta Titanium Crowbar ($110) was originally developed for scuba rescue divers who needed something lightweight that could open anything. Weighing in at less than 2 lbs and with a reach of 22″, the Manta crowbar is one that even Gordon Freeman would wield.
Being the first post here on UndeadGear, I thought it fitting to start with the basics. Second perhaps only to a good crowbar, is the knowledge you’ll find inside The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead ($11, paperback). Within these pages, author Max Brooks lays the groundwork for learning to defend yourself against the undead and preparing for the battle ahead. The six chapters will guide you through different weapons and combat techniques to use against zombies, defending yourself against, running from, and attacking zombies, as well as living with them. It all starts here.
