When it comes to circumventing zombies, the last thing you wanna do is alert the undead to your presence by clumsily bumping into things because you are wearing a gigantic backpack! However, you also want to be fully prepared just in case your worst fears are realized!

Zombies. Got it.

Curious - do you pack different items if you're expecting Orcs, or giant tarantulas?

So you took every gadget and knick knack you own, put it in a bag, and called it a zombie survival kit? No offense but that is a horrible kit for pretty much any kind of activity besides showing off the cool individual components. Don't get me wrong, there are some cool components in there but as a kit it just does not do it for me.

Where are the spare underpants and socks? Where is the sleeping gear? Where is the vaseline for lubing up on the march? Blister patches? Also the bag itself has no waist strap... OUCH! More food, more water, less fighting stuff, less excess packaging. And the toilet paper, good god man where is the toilet paper!

Hate to be a gear snob, but as soon as I saw the HiPoint carbine being called an assault weapon, I lost interest...

When the Apocalypse does happen there will be so much free gear littering the roads! I can't wait!

1 Lose both pull thru sharpeners, invest $7.50 in a "speedy sharp".
2 Police up those magazines (clips go in magazines, magazines go in guns), the light, and the Zero tolerance. Jog for half a mile & all that'll be mia.
3 Rethink the ammo boxes. Either $5 for Plano ammo boxes for reloading, vacuum seal it if you have one, but get it out of those bulky boxes & into something a lil' more waterproof.
4. The first aid kit's a good idea, but personally, I'd downsize it to some quikclot, a couple battle dressings, a roll of gauze, and some silk tape. Toss in some good ol' duck tape & super glue for good measure.
Zombie apocalypse aside, a BOB isn't a bad thing to have. Personally I love the concept of zombies (a society with a whole lot less people would be wonderful), however, basing any personal belief on that concept isn't gonna get you taken very seriously. YMMV

No offense but what mall are you planning to survive in??? In case of a Zombie attack, Your best bet is to run and run fast and far. Then come back a few days later and pick up all the gear you need that would be laying around. At list that's what I seen in most Zombie movies. I bet if you would just keep on going you would find gear laying around everywhere. Cause the people who would learn fast are going to ditch those extra 60lb of gear. The ones that won't would be found laying dead next to the pack.

Generally, for a BOB I like to think of things as "layers" or "systems."

If you are planning on the weight and bulk of carrying a carbine (not sure where you could get away with this in suburbia minus a total SHTF situation) - it should probably be chambered in the same caliber as your sidearm. I.e. either both carbine & pistol in .357 Mag or Both 9mm. This simplifies ammo & logistics. Ideally you'd want a carbine and handgun to magazine commonality too, like a GLOCK 17, 9mm and a Keltec SUB 2000 that uses the same magazine. I'd also have all my extra ammo in magazines. When I was in the military we didn't carry 'extra' ammo in the OEM cardboard boxes...If there is a legitimate need for a BOB, you want all your ammo ready to fire, not requiring time to load magazines. Spend some money on extra magazines.

Personally, If I am going to carry the extra weight of a rifle I want it chambered in a rifle cartridge i.e. 5.56 or 7.62X39, 7.62X51, etc. I'm a fan of the light-weight, AR-15 "carbine" style rifle. That way you can have whatever sidearm you prefer & two spare magazines, And have the rest of the weight towards your primary rifle & ammo in magazines.

In the end, I doubt law & order is going to break down so far in almost any scenario where you will be able to stroll down your suburban street with a military pattern-rifle. Therefore, a Concealed Handgun license & a reliable concealed handgun will always be a good investment for personal protection - in the many 'shades of grey' scenarios in between. I'd spend some money to get some training & & lots of ammo for practice.
