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 M870 shotgun. A powerful anti-personnel weapon. Firing 00 slug rounds for maximum damage to a zombie scalp. Primary Weapon.  The Mk23 SOCOM. A .45 caliber pistol, silenced to avoid unescary noise. Secondary Weapon  The MP7. A small caliber automatic weapon. Useful for taking out the human threat and some zombie threat. Auxillary 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.  The rucksack. The item in which all this essential gear will be carried. Not much to say save that I picked this one in particular due to its waterproof design. These are the tools in which I will survive the apocalypse. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, the appearl of the zombie hunter is a personal and unquie choice. Dependant on the users needs and environment. Living in florida I had to sacrifice some protection for ventilation as I may be out all day in the heat looking for supplies. Passing out = easy meal for the zombies or easy target for raiders.        Pretty basic stuff the only thing I wanted to showcase were the gloves and neck armor. Basically sap gloves, the area above the knuckles have 8oz steel shot and the knuckles are lined with steel plating. I see this as the equivalent to the knight's gauntlet and can provide protection shoudl I ever have to actually punch a zombie and a one ht KO for most human threats. It may seem out of place but a good ol' fashioned gorget will pay for itself the first time a zombie tries to go for your neck or shoudlers.
