Slightly Different Zombie Situation

That I actually own?
Ontario SP10
My SpyderCo Endura, or Cold Steel Kobun
My aluminum water canteen, a buttload of paracord, some cut resistant gloves(can't be bitten through when I try and break their necks), my zippo, my fire-starting kit. Probably some energy bars. That's about it.

All that is less than 40 pounds if my water canteen isn' full, but it would be...
 
Ah, come on guys, ya'll do realize that this thread is coming back from the dead :D

Since I'm here:

The biggest busse known to man, and my almighty sebenza!!!

Then I'd want my .22 lever action with brick of ammo, roughly 525 rounds.

And to be smart I'd want goggles and/or a face mask. It wouldn't do any good to need your big knives and swords if you get infected from all the blood getting in your face.

Camelbak Mule full of all my outdoor gear. The fiance would be forced to carry the .38 whether she likes it or not. We'd go to my parents house and take the boat out to the bay and wait it out. Since texas is HUGE and the state size wasn't stated I would be closer to the water than the nearest state.
 
- 1 Fixed Blade: Kabar

- 1 Folding Blade: SAK

- Type of Clothing / Armor: Zipped up leather jacket (try to bite through THAT), long jeans, boots, gloves, leather belt, and a thigh rig for my pistol.

- However many guns you can carry w/ ammo: Ruger Mark II .22 with a few boxes of ammo.

- 1 Backpack of supplies you would bring (list items): Camelbak, paracord, goggles, fenix t1 with spare batteries, water purification tablets, blanket, socks, TP, deoderant, toothpaste/toothbrush, food bars, a few cans of food, a bike chain with a built in lock (for securing a shelter in an urban environment, it would be very handy), bump key, and The Zombie Survival Guide :)
 
I've never been one for zombie threads, but I'm at work and have nothing better to do. (Lifeguard, and no one is at the pool right now) So I'll play along I guess. Supplies I don't have are marked with an *

I'm somewhat confused as to why people are carrying so much. It's only a 48 hour scenario and speed and stealth would be very advantageous. I would plan on evasive maneuvers, not engaging zombies unless I absolutely had to. I would also try to stick to the wooded areas, and out of urban environments as much as possible. With this in mind, here's my load out.


BLADES (Going with two fixed blades)
Kershaw Outcast on belt SOB
USMC KBAR upside down on left pack shoulder strap
Perhaps even just the KBAR, if you're in knife range of a zombie you screwed up bad


CLOTHING, (tight fitting is key, and you're going to be moving, so easier to stay warm)
Synthetic baselayer (top and bottom)
tight fitting light wool trousers
Patagonia hooded R1
Digi camo underarmour derecho jacket
Asolo hiking boots
smartwool socks with liners
schmag
Kevlar gloves
wool watch cap


FIREARMS
Ruger 10/22 with about 200 rounds in hi cap mags topped with 3-9 scope, 1 point tactical sling, slung or in hands depending
Glock 35 with 4 15 round mags, OWB holster at 3:00. with pistol lanyard
.22 High Standard semi auto pistol in my dog's pack 4 mags and belt holster
*silencer that fits both .22s, would be kept on the rifle unless needed on pistol*


.40 for the glock is FMJ, .22 mags will be dutch loaded alternating solid points with HP as I'm unsure which would perform best against zombies


Belt/Pockets/on body
all loaded mags
ligher/firesteel
cell phone (set to silent)
Surefire g2 nitrolon with LED lamp
caffeine pills or stronger prescription stimulants
can of apple skoal
small AM/FM radio with earbud
two cliff bars
garmin etrex H with checkpoints programmed in
paracord bracelet
Wristwatch
bandanna
pocket binos

PACK
Gerber hydration pack (100 oz reservoir)
100 rds .40 FMJ
Brick of .22 half solid point, half HP
5 clif bars
3 lbs beef jerky mixed with 1 lb smoked almonds and 1 lb dried berries and 1 large bag of peanut M&Ms
water treatment tabs (as long as you don't start drinking untreated water until day 2 of your trip chances are you wouldn't get sick until you got to the checkpoint, but pack it anyway)
Small beer can alcohol stove with fuel
6 teabags
cell phone charger
hunting cover scent spray
first aid kit consisting of: (If this stuff cant fix it, you're screwed anyway)
Israeli bandage
Excedrin migraine
Motrin
immodium
ace bandage
compass and map
batteries for GPS/flashlight
5 glowsticks, 3 red, 2 IR (for any signaling of overhead aircraft)

My german shepherd would be with me, and in his pack would be his food and water, collapsible bowls etc. and most likely an additional pistol (.22 semi auto) with some more ammo if for some reason I need another weapon, or I meet up with someone in need.

No bedding or shelter as I might press through the night if it is an uninhabited area (unlikely zombies are already roaming the woods yet), and if it is inhabited( or zombies around) I would simply find an existing structure to somewhat fortify and grab a few hours of rest, probably wouldn't even sleep, just make some tea, listen to the radio and wait until dawn to press on. Bad weather (heavy rain) would very much improve my odds against zombies, who allegedly sense primarily through smell, so I would press through it and try to cover as much ground as I could at that time.

That was kinda fun, really made me think about a few things.
 
Franchi Auto, aaaaand a BK9. Camel back with my flint, ammo, etc. MY folder would be substituted for a cleaver. And some wild turkey......for molotov cocktails of course.
 
How about chain saw proof paints? That should stop a Zombie bite right? I would also take along Christopher Walken when he is really high too with an AK-47!
 
In addition to a calendar to detect zombie threads...

- 1 Fixed Blade: Becker BK-9

- 1 Folding Blade: SAK Huntsman

- Type of Clothing / Armor ( remember you don't want to be accidentally bitten so make sure you are suited up from head to toe): Loose fitting and good quality motorcycle leathers (and helmet / boots). These will go nicely with the off-road motorcycle I plan to appropriate.

- However many guns you can carry w/ ammo: Ruger 10/22 and Ruger MkII with three or four thousand rounds of .22 solid ball (no hollowpoint) ammo. Can carry lots of ammo and all I need are head shots - not trying to bring down moose or deer.

- 1 Backpack of supplies you would bring (list items): tarp, wool to wear if cold, wool blanket, closed cell pad for sitting / sleeping, water and iodine to purify more water, map, compass, fire kit, paracord, decent flashlight / batteries, jar of peanut butter if there's room - don't really need food for a three day period.

(REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CARRY EVERYTHING AND STILL BE ABLE TO OUTRUN THE THREAT IF NEEDED)
 
I'd get a dirt bike with extra gas cans and then strip down to nothing. then I'd smear myself with some kinda grease and head for the checkpoint. done!
 
Just this and a couple extra tanks. You guys bring the food and water. :D

I'd take (what I have)
My fiskars Axe: Lighter than my Nepalese khukuri, means it won't wear me down.
Folder: Spyderco Gayle bradley (when I get it) now ZT 0500 MUDD
Fixed Blade: Bark River Kephart. Blade shape is good for stabbing, its light.
Other equipments: Batteries, 2 small flash lights (Fenix and 4seven's water proof)
My BoB with emetgency supplies and fire making stuff. Weights around 3KG so its comfy. And Crowbar with my ABS Tonfa.

Spare clothes and then toughest clothes I have. I play Air soft so I would also use my knee and elbow pads, bollé X500 goggles (heck no I don't want zombie blood splatter on my face or eyes), M/91 combat boots and Nomex gloves.

I don't own any fire arms so next goal would be getting one.
 
Lightsaber and a camel back with some power bars and 5hr energy in the pocket. Might as well have a couple victory cigars strapped to the webbing on my chest, tip down. See you in a day and a half.
 
With a 2-day time limit, I wouldn't be thinking "survival" so much as "evasion". To that end, I'm not sure I'd carry a firearm. Having a gun puts you in the mindset of "predator". I think the "prey" mindset would be more useful in such a limited time situation.

My gear would include a light pack, running shoes, and the understanding that I'm not going to sleep for the next two days.

As for tools, I could see wirecutters being useful (don't want fences in my way) so a good multitool would be the best bet. Maybe a light prybar to help me break through gates and the like.
 
Since the "Zombie Survival Guide" insists that gunshots will attract the attention of every zombie for miles, it should only be used in a pinch. I would bring my katana, my lightest running shoes, and some MREs. A suit of armor sounds nice in theory, but try running around for miles in that thing:D.

Wouldn't say no to a good machete or kukri as well:thumbup:.
 
I've never seen a zombie thread about zombies before. That's pretty funny.

In all honesty, I'm probably doomed. Phoenix isn't far off from being centrally located in the state. It's at least what, 5 hours of driving to any state border? The roads will instantly be paralyzed, and a traffic jam looks like a heck of a buffet. Might as well call up a lady friend and wait for the fireworks.

The one chance would be to loot a dirtbike/motorcycle and make my own way out of the city. Motorcycle leathers and motocross armor could be looted at the same time for extra protection. Gas is a problem, though, and the situation is still nearly hopeless. A lack of riding experience and brutal urban sprawl makes getting out really lousy.

I would skip a fixed blade. There's a machete in the garage, but infecting oneself with zombie splatter seems like a pretty stupid way to die.

A folder? Probably a SAK and a small EDC folder since they will already be in my pocket.

As for guns, a Ruger 10/22 with hi-cap mags and a CZ52 since they are immediately available. The 10/22 has a sling so it would be easy to carry. A hi-cap .22 seems like a perfect zombie weapon.

I'm not terribly worried about gunshots attracting zombies. This is Arizona, so all of the gunshots in all directions all the time would confuse the zombies quite a bit. A .22 is also reasonably quiet, and a disposable suppressor could probably be improvised readily.
 
Trailhawk - Hammer for head blows, edge for normal use
Japanese Bowie - Awesome handle turns a 6" blade into a great chopper, good tough blade
Some Jerky, trail mix, honey, water bottles, and a bag full of BCAA powder

I'd do _________ things:
1. make a spear or use a garden hoe for some distanced head wounds
2. Steal a motorcycle or bike! Not to hard to cover a couple hundred miles on a bike given terrain, even if it only gets me so far I'll take that over trying to walk however far to the border.


Alternatively, lawnmower.
