One aspect of preparing for the coming Apocalypse that isn’t often considered is how man’s best friend fits in. As you would expect some dog breeds are better and some are worse in terms of zombie apocalypse preparedness. There are a number of aspects that should be considered including size, approachability, intelligence and herding instincts. Here is what to consider with these traits: Size – Zombies are on average 5′ 9″ for males and 5’4″ for females and they are not flexible so they cannot bend down to scratch smaller breeds. For this reason it is ideal to have a dog that is 16″ or less at shoulder. Recommended breeds are Dachshunds, Corgis, French Bulldogs. Approachability – To protect...

NOTE: Most likely, the concept of sexy zombies started with the movie ‘Zombie Strippers’. Of course, there’s the humor aspect of sexy zombies…then there’s the preparedness angle, though most survivalists wouldn’t consider sexy zombies a tangible threat. So please take the below ‘sexy zombies’ and general concept, for what they are…   Newsflash, men get distracted by sexy women! Studies show that men become slower and less accurate when faced with a beautiful woman – live or dead. We’ve all encountered momentary loss of speech and thought processes when it comes to the opposite sex. Fine specimens of the human form show no mercy in distracting us from our goals…in fact, they soon become them.  Hot (though technically cold...

When all hell breaks loose, when the widespread pandemic of flesh-eating zombies is at your doorstep, clawing and possibly gnawing on remnants of the hottie next door, you will not have time to pick and choose what weapons you deem to be the most efficient zombie killing tools. Ideally, you have already prepared, having trained your mind and body (see Conditioning), and assembled your bug out bag and survival gear in a position of easy access. Either way, whether you’ve prepared your bug out bag or not, a knowledge of weapons for future scenarios where you may be faced with the decision between a handgun and semi-automatic rifle or machete or baseball bat, may be the knowledge that keeps...

We’ve all imagined ourselves in the zombie apocalypse, surrounded by a horde of zombies. Through this visual tension, however, we remain calm…our katana reflecting the light of the setting sun as we raise the blade in confidence. As we swing, the heads of the undead soar away in musical unison. Not a single movement is lost to a wasted stride or step. We are death to the dead. We are artists of survival; our blade is our brush, the land we defend…our canvas. Ok, back to reality. Though we can’t downplay the importance of mental preparation, most of us will never even pick up a katana, let alone see one in person. Odds are, the skill required to wield...

The AK-47, arguably the most iconic assault rifle, with it’s distinctive curve of the Kalashnikov magazine, made its first appearance as far back as World War II. In fact, the 47 in it’s name indicates the year of it’s invention. The A stands for the Russian avtomat or automatic, and the K represents the last name of the inventor; Lieutenant General Mikhail Kalashnikov (Kalishnikov was only 22 years old when he and his team invented the AK-47).           For decades, the AK-47 has played a role in history. Officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact, the AK-47 was the weapon that enabled...

The information below has been collected by Zombie Slayer Special Forces and hardcore zombie survivalists from across the world. To identify and familiarize yourself with a variety of long range weapons and more specifically, rifles, one must also become familiar with that weapon’s inherant traits. These traits include weapon characteristics, availability, versatility, ergonomics, and ammunition availability. Now imagine the zombie apocalypse is upon us, and consider these variables: 1) Those around you are dying and reanimating from MAD flu / zombie flu exposure. 2) Survivalists and every day citizens everywhere are arming themselves in panic. 3) More deaths are occurring due to inexperience with weapons, and so allowing themselves to be in an otherwise avoidable, dangerous situation – wasting...

Given the current trends in disease, chemical warfare, and terrorism, there is no doubt in our minds that the zombie apocalypse is coming, and if you’ve got your wits about you…there’s no doubt in your mind either. The zombie war is inevitable, and if you’re to survive this war, you must have a strategy! There is never a simple answer to where you should go when the zombie outbreak hits or how you should get there.

Let's face it. Organization is key to survival in the zombie apocalypse. The last thing you need is to not be able to find your keys when you need them. Enter the Zombie Mount Rushmore Letter and Key Holder. This incredibly lifelike image of the real Mount Rushmore in South Dakota is a spitting image of the original, had those presidents been zombies, of course. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln have never looked deader, but their contributions will forever be remembered.
