Easy to use common equipment

well it seems the new zombie hunter guild site is up. And I might as well join in the fun.


SO.. I have compiled a brief list of essential tools for any survivalist.


KNIFE- A simple sharp knife can be useful for just about anything. Keep one handy at all times.

/ Which brings you to MULTITOOL, or SWISSARMY KNIFE. These are even better, as a multitool can have like screw drivers ect and the swiss army blade, has a knife and a lot of essentials, like a corkscrew thingy(Take advangtage of the zombified liquor store clerks and stock up dude ;) ) AND it has a knife. and spoons ect.

A MUST HAVE!


Then we go on to........ PACKSACK


a sturdy, light weight pack is needed to carry various equipment such as first aid, ammo, water , food and the booze you ripped off the store earlier (if you chose to. I Actually dont drink, not even pop. I hate the fizz, geeze.).
Carrying everything in your hands is useless (how are you gunna use a gun, smart guy??) This is a no brainer. Get on it.



SPARE VEHICULAR TRANSPORT. You will probablly need to cover a lot of area in small time. The best way to do this is (you probably geussed it) USE A VEHICLE. It can be stressed enough. TRANSPORTATION is a very important thing. No transport= you shall be devoured by zombies. Know how to use this transport aswell, so you dont get yourself and your pals eaten.


Have it stored somewhere where it can be easily locked down and accessed quickly.


Ill post later if I find more excellent Ideas

Phew, I was wondering if you lot were still alive. I havn't heard anything from anyone, and I tend to check daily. It's good to know that the enemy hasn't gotten to you yet.

Glad to see people posting :D , i've been away so to speak to i haven't been able to do much here.

You could use the booze as fuel for a fire? A VERY SHARP sword is also a must. Also, anything long distence is good. Guns, swords(depending on how long they are), a whip even. Its also good to have a fortress that you can hide in if your transportation fails.

or even better, a fortress and transportation in one, e.g. APC.

A definite must have is FIRE! I mean, come on! Were talking about the undead. You can't kill the undead. Sure, you can stab them or shoot them but their probably gonna get right back up. But if you burn them, what are their ashes going to do? Nothing!

You can also try cutting off their heads. I don't know, maybe their still controlled by their brains.

I think thats how it works. I could be wrong in assuming that whatever the zombies are infected with just invades a dead body and controls it through the nervous system. If your dealing with a large number of zombies, explosives are a must.

How do you justify the use of explosives? Explosives kill mainly with shrapnel piercing organs et cetera, and taking out anything (except the brain) does nothing to even slow an advance.

Depends on what kind of explosives. Landmines were designed to blow off a person's legs or tip over a vehicle. Lay a bunch of those down and hide. You probably don't even have to bury them, since zombies aren't smart enough to step around or over them. They step on it, their legs blow up, peices of zombie go flying everywhere, the rest is easy killing. And not to mention the zombies will be engulfed in a fiery mass. They'll probably burn to a crisp before they even reach you.

True, but general handheld explosives i.e. grenades, just disorientate you as to the heads' whereabouts

Im new so Im gonna jump right in. I do have a pack ready. I have a med pack, water treatnment pills, 3 small flashlights, some d clips, string, some small tools, rain poncho, a map (of Michigan), paper, pens, a pencil, and other stuff I cant think of. As for knives, well... take your pick. I got fixed blade and folding, I got serrated and non, I got knives for thrusting, chopping, slashing, throwing, and well... killing.

p.s. The Punisher RULES!
