"The M.O.A.B. Fort is the Ritz Carlton, but the Hilleberg Bivanorak provides shelter on the run for the La Quinta budget."

First a meteor Strikes Russia, then they warn that an asteroid's passing close to earth. What's next A Zombie apocalypse?? Maybe. Just maybe. 

The day when your perfectly manicured lawn transforms into a restless pile of rotten flesh, blood and vacant, dirt-spattered eyes could come very soon. In light of this, we thought it would be fun to put together a zombie apocalypse survival guide. Besides, if the zombie apocalypse never happens, you’ll be ready for damn near everything else -- even space debris. 

Yellow Jacket IPhone Case

A stun gun may not be the ultimate tool for dropping walkers, but you can’t exactly walk around modern civilization with a battle axe and shotgun hanging from each shoulder. The Yellow Jacket case straps 650 kilovolts of pee-yourself power to the back of your iPhone. The ensuing daze should give you enough time to escape to your stockpile of real weapons.

DPMS Recon Rifle

Experts (read: nerds) tell us that we should leave the stereotypical shotgun to Hollywood -- it may look impressive, but it isn’t practical in an actual zombie event. An assault rifle gives you more ammo and accuracy than you’ll get with a shotgun. The DPMS Recon was purpose-built to combine precision with a lightweight build -- two things you’ll need in the eternal battle. Don’t forget the ammo.

Bivouac M.O.A.B. Fort Trailer

Video games and movies may give you the idea that it’s more fun to stay and fight, but if you’re really staring at an encroaching army of brainsuckers, the only real thing to do is run. Since your only destination is “away from death,” you’ll want to have shelter and cooking capabilities built into your getaway ride. The Bivouac M.O.A.B. Fort is a built-to-specifications off-road camping trailer that will keep rolling over everything from post-apocalyptic metropolis rubble to boulder-covered high desert.

Zippo 4-In-1 Woodsman

When you’re making a break from the buzzing throngs of famished, depraved zombies scratching at the shingles, you need to pack in a hurry. The more function you get out of each tool, the better. The Zippo 4-in-1 Woodsman’s hatchet keeps the walkers at bay. Its saw churns out firewood at refugee camp and its mallet hammers down the stakes of your temporary shelter.

Hilleberg Bivanorak

The M.O.A.B. Fort is the Ritz Carlton, but the Hilleberg Bivanorak provides shelter on the run for the La Quinta budget. This lightweight rain jacket doubles as an emergency shelter, so you’ll never feel like walker bait left out in the cold.

Reflexcell Blizzard Survival Blanket

The Reflexcell Blizzard Survival Bag is a portable reflective blanket that traps more warmth than others with a 3-D honeycomb design. Stick this in your jacket pocket or backpack, slide it under your Bivanorak when it’s time to camp and enjoy a warm and sound night of sleep. You’ll need the rest.

Sure-Pak Ready-To-Eat Meals

The pungent smell of brains, blood and death have a way of turning your stomach, but you still need to eat. The Sure-Pak gives you a supply of freeze-dried meals complete with flameless ration heaters. The heaters let you cook dinner without the noise, light and work of a fire or stove. Each box packs 12 meals, so stockpile a few. 

SimpliPure LifeCan

You should drink two to three liters of water on a good day, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with ungodly carnage is not a good day. Drink water. Forget those puny gallon bottles you buy at the grocer, the SimpliPure LifeCan stores five gallons. More importantly, the bottle’s integrated filtration system destroys 99.999999 percent of bacteria and viruses, so you’ll have clean water no matter what infects the supply. 

DeLorme InReach

“911” and “search and rescue” won’t be relevant concepts once society has crumbled into a scattered network of survival camps. But the Delorme inReach’s two-way satellite texting will keep you in touch with friends, family and allies. Zombs may destroy the terrestrial cellular network, but they’ll have their hands too full on the ground to worry about satellites. The device pairs with Delorme’s PN-60w GPS, which you can use to navigate what’s left.

PowerFilm Solar Charger


It’s only a matter of time before your iPhone and Delorme inReach turn into lifeless tech bricks. Without a reliable electrical grid, you’ll have to fend for yourself in getting them recharged. PowerFilm offers foldable and rollable solar cells and charging systems in various sizes and configurations. Pick the one that fits your gadget arsenal, and you’ll always have juice at home and on the run.
