[...] Sports should, by default, involve no more than two pieces of mandatory equipment to play. Basketball, football, and baseball all adhere to these rules – which is why they’re popular. By the time you finish the setup for croquet you’re four beers deep and you just want to pop your collar and rock some bozo buckets. Also, your gramma plays croquet. Croquet is only good for one thing, providing you with mallets to use as weapons against zombies. [...]

I can’t believe tomahawks were left out! I prefer the tomahawk fusion by SOG it has a synthetic handle you can drive your car over, little chance of the handle cracking or the head coming off when you most need it. It’s good for cutting a way into buildings and hacking wood for fire plus good for hacking up zombies if necessary I mean come on! Anyone seen Mel Gibson in the Patriot? tomahawks are in so much so that several army infantry units use them now overseas also another must have blade to give your tomahawk a mate is the kukri machete a gurka style blade by cold steel. As for firearms to carry and yes I would carry them. Because yes even though there is a probablity of running out of bullets, I can always save one for me or….. all the other people here who have such cool weapons which don’t need bullets. Well I would be so much more rested without having been swinging that katana/cricket bat/machete/or any other cool weapon which I’m sure to see and think “Hmm why did’nt I think of that!” So in that spirit beforehand I want to say thank you for your gadget now because I might be in a hurry at that moment what with all the zombies and all and would not want to appear rude. As for what firearms? I would go with .45 cal as it is a good zombie stopper not in a 1911 however as most are rather heavy and only hold eight rounds I would go with the H&K USP or Glock 21 why because both are light, reliable, and carry 12 or more rounds and that could mean the difference in you being a zombie or not. Second on my list is a back up pistol a glock in 9mm and no other! Why because any 9mm glock can hold their 33rd mags and 45 and 9mm will be the easiest ammo to find plus glocks are light and reliable. As for the shotgun? No can do unless you have one other person with you to carry it. Why because you want to carry an AK 74 or piston operated ar style rifle that way the guy with the shotgun is first into the spooky building when foraging ” Well your shotgun is better suited for close quarters I’ll stay outside and provide overwatch.” And you may ask why would I want those rifles though Wolf? Well an AK 74 shoots a round similiar to the .223 cal round an AR shoots so you can carry more of them carry more of either one of them. Piston operated AR rifles because the regular gas blowback design AR or M16 will jam when your at the peak of killing the rushing zombie horde which is not ….cool. Either of those rifles are good preferrably the AR called the MR556 by HK which is the civilian version of what Delta Force uses because then you get reliablity and you can put cool gadgets on it like scopes,lasers and flashlights. As for the outfit I would go with mulicam clothing hey if the zombies don’t see you first they’re easier to avoid/take them out, To go with that a gortex jacket,nomex gloves or oakley gloves are good, eyeprotection all which goes in your backpack which I would say for light weight reliable packs go with blackhawk for heavier go with aliceruck modified by tactical tailor in multicam it should contain water purifier, first aid kit which should have painkillers, plenty of dressings, anti infectant like alochol pads, wraps, heating and coolings pads. Fire starting kit with some tender, sleeping bag and sleeping pad,food like nuts,jerky,dried fruit camelpak and canteen extra ammo and extra socks and t shirts footwear should be converses or oakley boots as they are lightweight and feel and respond like a running shoe but have the durable features of a good combat boot. And just like with grizzly bears you don’t have to be faster then the zombie just faster then your buddy running with you. And you know when you’ll be seeing me take care till then

Guns – shotguns are a classic, and good for short range shots. They’re also good for clearing at close range, when the zombies are packed nice and tight. Frag grenades also work well here. 9mm is a great choice for a handgun.

Hey Dave….uhm….frag grenades are a very bad idea…consider this: You are in a crowd of zombies, and you blow up thisf rag grenade. woo hoo…you blew the shizz outta them, but most can still crawl…plus, frags use schrapnel…you could hurt yourself…and the blood coming from the zombies could infect you. FRAGS ARE NO GOOD

Ammo- no matter what gun you use you WILL run out. There are an estimated 6,770,000,000 potential zombies on this planet alone. You cannot carry enough ammo. Period.
That’s why it’s handy to have a blade. Decapitation and/or serious trauma to the zombie brain is the easiest way to kill them. Blades: swords, machete’s, axes, etc are your best bet to deliver the penetration necessary for efficient zombie ownage. I’m fairly certain that if Shaun had owned a broadsword, he’d have grabbed it rather than the cricket bat.

Armor – this is a good idea. something light though. A sharkbite suit or leather is your best bet. Nothing too loose and flowing (I know trenchcoats are badass, but it’s too easy to be dragged down by the hem.) Gloves and a helmet are a great idea. Best bet would be something like a bicycle helmet. They look silly but don’t impair your field of vision, and offer good cranial protection.

Then all you really need is a pack with water/purifier, jerky/trail mix and a med kit. The lockpicks are actually a pretty good idea, as it usually takes only a minute or two to pick a lock, but a locked door can hold back a horde of zombies for an average of 4 minutes. A broken lock can’t lock the undead horde out.

WoW! Where to begin, the list is funny, but not practical. If were judging the zombies from most of the movies than high powerful calibers are not needed. 30.06 and most AK 47 type rifles are overkill. Having the right weapons and enough ammo would be a god sent, but lets be real, you will eventually run out of ammo. However while you have them, a good choose would be an AR-15, both the rifle and ammo are light weight, fast to reload, little to no recoil and have 20 to 30 rounds in each mag. A second weapon should be a handgun. A 9mm would work fine. However I’m fond of the 1911 style (45ACP). Shotguns are not a bad choose, but they are limited to 5 to 7 shells and take while to reload. I would only obtain a striking or cutting weapon after running out of ammo. Doesn’t really matter, longer the better. Keeps them further away from you.

Protective gear is really not needed. If the zombies are close enough to touch you than your screwed. However if it makes you feel better to wear something then try something Kevlar lined or leather. It’s lightweight and comes a verity of way to meet what you are looking for. Something to consider, a zombie bite would not be stronger then a human, bite, if anything it would be weaker. So with that in mind if you can’t bite trough it they shouldn’t be able to.

There is a few things on this list that would not only be a waste of money, but would get you killed. Sun Glasses impair you’re vision by making things darker, a Helmet would restrict you’re eye sight and head movement. Ballistic Groin protector is uneccesary, If a slow zombie manages to get near you’re nuts, then you deserve to die, if someone shoots you’re nuts, then you shoot them in the face. Jello Brains are useless and take up space. a zombie knows the difference between fresh bloody flesh and Bill Cosby’s dessert of choice. A Machete has better range and power then a hatchet. The goal is to not be close to the zombies, if forced to be close, I would go with a Machete then a hatchet. Walkie Talkies are also useless, Why split up you’re group making you smaller and more open for attacks?

Not to mention, The Zombie Survival Guide is 50x better then the book they listed.

The only useful things on here is the GPS, The Metal Cricket Bat and probably the Key Set, But I highly doubt that shit is legit.
