Port-A-Ledge
Jan 11 2009, 2:36 AM EST
Hey Guys, check this out: http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/portaledges.html . It's called a Port-A-Ledge. climbers use it to sleep on during long climbs. You basically just attach the top of the portaledge to the rock face and then sleep on it like a bed. It's applications to Zombie Survival are obvious. If you are traveling through the forest, throw a rope over a tree limb 15 or 20 feet high, pull up the portaledge to a safe height, then climb up a rope ladder with your most vital gear (the Portaledge will support . You will be able to sleep without the fear of waking up to a skin head standing over you. A double portaledge is 7' by 3'9'' and (I assume but I can't find it) can support two adults and their gear. Even though it is pretty expensive (around $700) it is relatively lightweight at 13 lbs. I think it would make a great addition to a Zombie Survival Kit / Plan, since not only could you use the portaledge in a forest, but it could potentially be used in an urban environment (it is designed to be placed right against a rock wall, you could attach the ledge to the side of a building and greatly increase your chances of surviving while crossing a large urban environment). Tell me what you guys think! I also posted this in the New Members Area but I wasn't sure if a lot of people would look at it there

Well I deleted the other thread for you.Looks pretty neat, a bit heavy, although I suppose it'd be light for what it is. Do you find this valuable? |
