Group Kit for Zombie Survival
At anytime during the zombie apocalypse, you should never go off anywhere alone. For safety, staying together is mandatory. An individual by themselves could easily be surrounded and consumed by zombies. Below are a list of things that EACH group should have (10 people or less). If things get too heavy to carry, you can always alternate who carries what. Keep in mind this is the equipment you should carry in addition to your individual gear.
Keep in mind we only list things that are necessary. Our zombie apocalypse checklist consist of items that we have carefully chosen and researched and recommend. Check back often, this site will be updated when we find better gear and equipment.

The best cutters you can find would be small and light, but still strong and durable. With that in mind, I present to you the best damn bolt cutters that a group can find.

Read More >>>Compact Entrenching Tool
Though a powerful high carbon steel entrenching tool will make a great weapon for offing zombies, there are other important and practical uses as well. Having a lightweight entrenching tool like the SOG F08-N gives you a way to bury your mess. Yes. Whether...

There’s nothing worse than deciding to go whole hog on a zombie chopfest only to find you’re favorite ax has a broken handle or dull blade. With that in mind we’re going to talk about some of the most rugged, durable, sharp and generally bad assed axes on the market today.
Read More >>>Extra Batteries

Read More >>>Rope
You never know what kinds of situations you may encounter during a cross-country zombie evasion exodus. You may need to evacuate from a building or rappel down a rock face, or hoist your supplies into your totally amazing flying fortress.
Read More >>>Water Cannister
If you’ve decided that you’re going to set up a cozy base away from home where you’ll be bugging out when the zombies hit the road, you’ll probably want to stockpile some potable water in there.
Read More >>>Binoculars
You never want to be close to zombies, and you want to be sure you can tell if they’re coming from a long way away. The best way to get a good, long range view of zombies (other than from the space station) is to have a good set of compact and durable binoculars.

Read More >>>Scopes
The term “scope” is the shortened version of the term “telescopic sight”. In the early history of firearms, guns had only iron sights. These were basically little spikes of metal, or a metal bead, at the end of the barrel of your gun that you could line up with your target in order to aim effectively.

If you are using a map or atlas for guidance, you’ll need a good compass to chart an accurate course to your destination.
