Coleman Camp Stove

 
  So this weekend was amazing, camping in Jim Thorpe...what made it so great?  The scenery, the relaxation and one thing we couldn't have done without....a Coleman Camp Stove.  What does this have to do with Zombies you may ask????  When you are living out of your car, constantly on the move...do you only want to eat cold foods and/or packaged snacks?  Thats a big 10-No from me.
 

To Stay or To Go? That is the question...

 

When it all comes to a stop, will you move around?  Will you set up shelter in one place?  Will you look for other survivors?  Will you be that random guy/girl walking alone in the shadows?  None of us know these answers, we may find out if/when 'It' actually happens.  Until then, we can plan, research, investigate, and think about what the future may hold.

To sleep or not to sleep...?

    When you are on the move, constantly evading The Dead Breathians where do you sleep?  Do you set up a tent...every single night?  Do you sleep on the cold wet ground?  Or high up in a tree?  None of these sound interesting or very safe.  A Hammock comes to mind when thinking of a great way to catch some Z's due to its ability to be set up in a variety of situations.

Safe, clean drinking water.

If you find yourself in a situation (specifically a zombie apocalypse) where the drinking water is questionable, you have several options when it comes to making your water safe and clean.  There are water filtration systems, purification tablets, UV lights and the old stand-by... boiling it.  All of these options work and all have there place.  So here's a quick primer on making water safe to drink.

Let Them Eat... Rations

Dan posted a great blog last week about the Survival Seed Vault.  This is a favorite item of mine and an absolute must for your zombie apocalypse "hope chest".  But growing produce takes time and you're going to need food to see you through to harvest.  What do you do for "now" food?  Well here's a list of options to keep in mind.

First Aid or not to Aid...

     Blood...we all have seen it; from a tiny paper cut to unfortunate catastrophic events its hard to miss.  So,  if there comes a time where you are hurt, you NEED to do something about it.  Infection is no joke when hospitals are smoking ruins and doctors are extremely difficult to find (hint hint - make sure you have one in your group).
     Some type of First Aid Kit is required and to be honest, I'd rather have more than I need than not enough.  In steps Adventure Medical Kits for Sportsman, designed for all types of field scenarios including gunshots, stab wounds, arrow wounds, and splinter removal (hey, they hurt too).

Seeds for One Acre...

     As some of your surviving party are fending off the undead, others are needed to plan for the future of your group.  If you decide to stay on the move then this next product doesn't really help you out unless you plan to act as Nomads and change locations per season.   On the other hand if you find a camp to start Town (Enter Name Here) then check this out.  The Survival Seed Vault is here to save the day when it comes to starting your healthy, well balanced diets.
