Zombie Armor and Zombie Personal Defense - ZombiePhiles.com

Check out zombiephiles.com, a weekly zombie blog with some very insightful articles on surviving a zombie outbreak where Max Brook's Zombie Survival Guide fails.

Zombie Armor on a Budget!!!

• Ace Bandage
  
• Football Pads
  
• Gaiters
• Paintball Neck Guard
• Motorcycle Body Armor
• Skateboarding Wrist Guards
• Soccer Shin Guards
• Mesh Kitchen Gloves
• Motorcycle Suit
• Tactical Body Armor

This list is very useful- but a lot of this stuff is hard to come by. If during an outbreak you're near a sports store- for the love of God go steal some shit, everything for zombie survival is there. What this list doesn't cover is your face and head. You should have some sort of face protection- whether it's a motorcycle helmet or a ninja mask- if blood gets near your face, mouth, eyes, ears, or nose- you're at the risk of becoming infected. For footwear you need something you can move quickly in and are still comfortable, durable, and water-proof. Gaiters would become uncomfortable quickly and aren't very easy to maneuver in. Always have a pair of gloves on to protect your fingers at utmost importance- without fingers you can't do shit to protect yourself. Personally I have a shit load a ingrown fingernails and shitty cuticles that always seem to be bleeding. When killing zeds and blood gets my hands I would be surely fucked.

Try to find everything you're wearing in cut-proof (or chainsaw protective) material like Kevlar. Should teeth or nail break your skin, you're fucked. Test it by slashing your knife at the material. If it slices like butter, don't wear it. Though you can't be 100% protected when on the move killing Zombies- you can still have strong clothing that a normal bite can't go through. Apparently mesh shark suits can be the most suitable armor for an outbreak. They're strong, cover the entire body, and are easy to move in. Beyond that you can swim in them- in case you ever need to.

Because I live in Michigan the cold weather can be damaging to your survival. Under Armour is a great thing to have underneath all your clothing. Under Armour has many different products, including a new Tactical line, for all different uses. There is Under Armor that keeps heat in your body, keeping you warm, and Under Armor that lets heat out- keeping you cool in hotter climates.

Don't over-do it. Having a shit load of protection on wont help you when twenty zeds are on your ass like fire. And beyond all- don't forget a belt, you wont get anywhere if your pants are halfway down your ass as you're trying to run.
