Not a bad idea, but as mentioned before, unless you get their early, chances are it will have been looted of everything worth a shit (depending on speed of infection). I agree though, many items worth grabbing.

those gas masks probabally dont even work any more and are usually israeli or late model u.s. style. everything else is good.

I really don't see the necessity to buy specialized gear when you can make do with anything around you.

Knives - you can find anywhere.
Canteens - Something wrong with a water bottle?
Backpacks - probably 6 or more in every house in America.
e-tools - Go outside and grab a shovel.

Save your money.

Sad part is, military gear is always contracted to the lowest bidder. Our gear is, quite literally, the cheapest stuff money can buy.

You want good gear? Go to EMS or Sports Authority. If you want *green* gear, go to military surplus stores.

I do have weapons, a few guns and a decent amount of ammo. I did have a zombie plan, and for the most part wasnt too bad, but i had other persons point out my "faults" in the plan so i will be coming up with a new one. Gear i am also pretty good on right now, med kits, survival kits, other stuff like that, most of hich is always in the back of my patrol car.

Well the faults i had received was my land i own didnt have the capacity to grow enough food for the amount of persons i wanted to have. I left people behind, who would have though leaving people behind was a bad thing (joke). One other thing i cant remember but that was about it, nothing too major was wrond with my plan, however those couple things need fixing. I have my original plan saved somewhere on here and will retreive it later.
