Zombie Baseball Anyone?
While we don’t really recommend a baseball bat as a primary weapon for dealing with the undead, the thought of playing a little Zombie Brain Baseball does appeal to us. This shirt, “Zombie MLB” is sadly no longer available from Tee Fury. Sorry, but we just found out ourselves.

Our Favorite Zombie Shirt
So we just found this great shirt over at Threadless and had to pass it along to all our readers. ”The Food Chain” by Olly Moss is a great re-imagining of the food pyramid we all grew up with in elementary school. We’re probably going to get one for everyone on the team here, and suggest you pick up your own.
The Best Zombie Machete For You
One of the questions we get more than any other is, “What is the best machete for killing zombies?” We’ve given it some thought recently, and pooled our own machetes to see where we stood. Not unsurprisingly there were a variety of blades displayed, and each person had their own reasons for choosing their personal weapon.
Taking this in we quickly realized that there is no perfect machete for killing zombies. There may however be a perfect weapon for you to use when killing zombies. We hashed some ideas back and forth and eventually came up with the following list to help you when choosing the best machete for you to use. Read the rest of this entry »
Automatic Or Semi-Automatic, Which Is Best For Fending Off Zombies
When it comes to killing a zombie horde, what’s better; a single shot or a hail of lead flying through the air? Well, it might surprise some to find out that, when faced with the flesh eating undead, the single shot is the better option, regardless of the number of walking corpses headed your way.
Yes, when dealing with the zombies there’s one thing you want above all else in your weapon, and that’s control. A semi-automatic weapon, one that fires a single shot each time the trigger is pulled, is preferred highly over those that fire multiple times per pull, known as automatic weapons. The reason for this is simple physics. Read the rest of this entry »
What’s A Grenade Worth?
Grenades are decent anti-personnel weapons and one would assume that they would be worth using against the zombie hordes. However, this is not the case. When it comes to the undead, grenades are next to worthless.
A grenade works as a shrapnel scattering weapon. The explosive inside detonates and forces the metal casing away from its center. The shrapnel tears into the flesh of the nearby victim causing excessive damage and pain. Against the live human, the grenade is a pretty good weapon. Read the rest of this entry »
Communication After The Outbreak
Communication between groups and even individuals is going to be very difficult after the Zombie Outbreak. Cell phones will not work, the Internet will go down, even the mail will fail to be delivered. All of this will happen within weeks (if not days) after the outbreak begins.
Yes, there will still be satellites up there, and some communication will be able to be maintained through them, but they too will fail eventually. From that point on communication will fall back on the individual.
So what is the best means of communicating to others after the zombies come? Obviously our ability to speak will be one of the main ways with whatever group of unturned you find yourself with. But you will need to plan for those times you come across other groups and individuals, and how you plan to converse with them. Remember, you will want to keep them at a safe distance at your first encounter, both to ensure your safety, and theirs. Read the rest of this entry »
Handguns And The Undead
The handgun is one thing that everyone should have close at…uh…hand…when dealing with the zombie threat. But as with the shotgun, they should not be your weapon of choice.
Handguns are excellent for close up encounters with the undead, but only extreme experts have the accuracy to use them at the long ranges suggested when dealing with a zombie threat. We recommend you purchase at least one, and preferably several. They are relatively light weight, ammo is standardized, and there isn’t a great deal of training needed to understand the basics of use.
Here are the 5 handguns we recommend: Read the rest of this entry »
