Ever since I played Resident Evil I have become obsessed with zombies and monsters. Every place
I have ever lived, I have evaluated its effectiveness as a fortress against a zombie/human attack. No
place has ever lived up to the apartment I lived in back in MO though, security doors, 0 second floor
access except from the one entrance (easily defended) and a wide view of the neighborhood to keep
an eye on everything.. Also, MO had Raccoon City in the south part of the state. Not cool.
Well kinda cool. All the events and experiences in my life will be infinitely helpful during a zombie
outbreak. Eagle Scout, medical training, a basic understanding of battle field tactics and
wilderness survival along with an active creativity that allows me to view everything as a
potential weapon, defense or trap against the undead and human threat.
The Professional's Preferred Equipment
When I was putting together my dream Gear, I was thinking about what I would be during during the
outbreak. My immediate role. Knowing my family I would have to be the one (along with my brother)
to go out and find food, supplies and keep the zombies/humans at bay. So I kept in mind that I would
be mobile a lot, but also that I would need some moderate protection
and be able to quickly access any area.
So I'll begin with the weaponry, amongst everything else the most important.
I chose this club because of its obvious lethality against a Zed skull. Especially
tagged in the back of the head. It worked for the Native Americans and it can
work here as well. The ball is 3.75 inches in diameter and the shaft is
2 feet long. The blunt spike is detachable and can be substituted for other spikes.
Easily wielded with one hand if necessary.
A simple and pitiless killing device.
This knife is a staple in outdoor survival. Useful in any situation.
10in in length, this will easily tear through anything in my way.
The machete. Need I say more? Just a bigger knife for jobs that require one.
These are all the melee weapons I plan to carry. Easily carried on the side or in my rucksack.
(Although placed for easy reach and use) Seems a bit much, but like I said it'll be just my brother
and I for a while protecting our family. So we gotta carry anything we may possibly need.
Now I'll showcase the firearms that make my first draft pick.
The AA-12 shotgun. Automatic Assault 12 gauge shotgun. Need I say more? Primary Weapon.
The Mk23 SOCOM. A .45 caliber pistol, silenced to avoid unnecessary noise. Secondary Weapon
These are my picks for firearms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next are the tools I will carry with me. These will provide the means to acquire
anything I'll need for my survival.
The pry bar, useful for breaking into buildings that are locked or barricaded.
Also, a good improv weapon if its out when I get attacked.
This one has 5 adjustable angles (straight, 155 degrees, 130 degrees,
105 degrees, and 80 degrees.
) and sports 300lbs of torque.
Very little will stand in the way of me.
A lock pick. A broken lock is a lock I can't use. So if able I would rather
pick the lock and have it to use if I must.
Also, breaking the lock or door will cause a lot of noise which may draw
unwanted attention. Designed to pick a lock in as little as one attempt.
Since I have moved to Fl one of my new friends happens to be a scuba diver.
He told me that while the concept of my idea was good...those underwater packs
were a little more cumbersome outside the water. So I opted for this assault pack.
These are the tools in which I will survive the apocalypse.

The C6 GPMG fires thes 7.62 x 51mm NATO
round and is more easily
found at gun shops in cities.
its standard rate of fire is 650 to
1000 rounds per minute (adjustable).
Mounted on the roof on the vehicle
a rider could secure themselves to the frame
of the cab and
fire while moving the vehicle.
Additionally mounted to the side walls
two more gunners could fire from the sides.
Make: Dodge
Model: RAM 2500
Year: 1999
Purpose: Supply and transport
Modification(s): My windows would be replaced with reinforced glass. This
ould prevent zombies from breaking the glass,
however they may accomplish such a task. This would also hinder
the efforts of any would-be car-jackers.
The tires would be replaced with self-inflating tires. No they are
not just for James bond or the military any more.
Check out this link to learn more.
http://gizmodo.com/374006/self-inflating-tires-do-just-that This would prevent
the classic movie scene where I'm running from some threat and get a flat.
Hate it when that happens.
The bed of the truck can accommodate a large amount of supplies and people.
Additionally it will hold more
with the walls that are built onto the side.
It had the side mounted tool boxes but a break in made them mostly useless.
The headlights would be replaced with ultra bright LED lights to provide
maximum visibility at minimal battery use.
The grill would have a ram bar to plow through the undead horde,
store windows and drywall. A CB radio provide
communication to my home base
and other vehicles in the field.
A GPS so I don't get lost and can be tracked by those at
the home base. As a final last ditch precaution the car would be
rigged with 5 pounds of C-4 on a remote trigger. In the
event that we are hopelessly doomed by the undead horde
or must abandon the vehicle and can't return we can blow
the car and any nearby threats.
