Zombieland prep kits

So I just recently saw Zombieland and I wanted to see an update on our kits. I posted this pic in death chat but I would love to see some of your pics, although I know I've seen some outstanding posts on this subject already.

love that shovel. mine's in the trunk.

I almost sharpened the edges, but I accidentally kicked it and cut my toe something fierce. I hate to think what would have happened if it was sharp. I do love throwing it though.

i sharpened one edge.

tell me about your bow.

Simple 60" 30# Martin fiberglass recurve. I ordered a custom string. More for fun than anything else. The Horton Steelforce crossbow is dangerous though. 150#'s makes a huge difference.

I hope to get one of these later

Martin X-150 Recurve Bow

i have a viper deluxe, 55# longbow. there's some slight reflex/deflex in the limbs. i've only gone shooting with it a few times, but the guy who introduced me to this says i'm a natural and i should practice. i'm wasting it.

That's a nice bow. I would use mine more often but a recent MRI says I'll have to wait until after some physical therapy. That's why I went with the AR. No kick and great accuracy. Not to mention fun.

diggin the AR. i'd like one someday.

all that gear doesn't mean anything if you can't follow rule #1...cardio, cardio, cardio. hahah, great movie.

sweet collection.

what shovel are you guys talking about?

I love the pic.
Hope to hit the movie tomorrow with the wife so I can convince here I need more "tools"!

The Cold Steel one. I have one too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yup, the CS shovel:

Zombieland rule #33

Woody needs a Scrapyard Regulator.

Here's mine (even though someone else is holding them) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Just a few of my little friends! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh, and here's a better (I hope) picture of my Primary Zombie Eradication and Removal Tool (ZERT), the Black Jack Vorpal Sword, long out of production.

(thought this would be a better picture another one I posted, although I have the other sheath for it) yeah, I swiped this picture as well.

cool man , i been working on it.... hopefuly today i can get some pictures up... if i get a few things done.

nice selection of tools.

hey Art, who did the gladius come from?

Art - I would say that you are READY! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Nice collection you have there.

Very sweet.
I see a survival guide but not the official Zombie version.
Are you SURE you're prepared?
LOL

Art, I added one of these to my kit.

D505 - that banjo is awesome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I really enjoy listening to one - they sound so happy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You clearly don't live in the southeast, Tom - banjos evoke lots of emotions in me when I'm in the woods of North Georgia or Alabama.

"happy" isn't one of them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

S/W Missouri for me James! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I suppose ANY kind of music can evoke certain emotions in folks depending on their circumstances or history. For me - banjo music is happy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nothin happy about that...

The music is! You just have to seperate the music from the performer - in your mind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

i grew up with bluegrass... so banjos and fiddles remind me of pig pickins ...so happy memories...

btw zombieland was a good movie fairly. a few issues with it personal but it was fun.

When I saw the blade I thought someone had modded a Northwind, but since it and the vorpal are cousins it makes sense. Love the shape of the blade.

I need to get my Zombie kit together. I suppose that means I need a Waki. Come on Dan SY zombie killer!

if anyone plays left 4 dead for PC let me know...ill gladly slay the hordes with you. lol

G2 Its the Roman Wasp-Waisted Gladius.

http://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/roman-swords.html

NICE! The supermarket scene. Gruesome.

Yes, I need my own copies of the Max Brooks series!

If the Yard put out an SR-77 sword I would buy it in a heart beat!

I just spit all over my screen. LOL! Having grown up Georgia, I know what you mean!

I spent a few years in Alabama and that is some scary S.

I spend most of my weekends in Alabama when the weather is nice.



I wear my John Deere hat so I can blend in with the locals <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

hahah!

Ya'll ever been to Aintry? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[censored] funny movie
Love the pic's

more ammo.........much much more ammo

i figured the ammo was holding up the table.

+1

haha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I just got back from the Zombieland movie. Man, I thought it was great. Tallahassee rules!

I just might have to see it when it comes around here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

a must see......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

You are ready.

By the way Jerry found the place that made the hats for the movie and he got my son and I one. They are made out of old tarps and come from Brazil...the most comfortable hat I have ever owned. BRING on The Zombies

Dan

that's cool, i did a little research and found them. i might pick one up!
http://realdealbrazil.com/

The one Jerry got had a patch sewn over a tar mark...no two are exactly the same


Go 5 days without a shave and you look pretty mean with one of these

Dan

Here is my zombie preparedness kit. There is alot more to this but I will show you guys when finished. All the guns are full metal airsoft replicas. (again it has to do with the final project) except the remmington 870. I can wait to add a big old scrap yard chopper of some sort soon.

Looks like you're ready Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

the bearded axe is SICK!

is that a tiger shark? what generation? i would love to handle one of those.

Mag, I've got an original first issue Tiger shark, and the only thing it has ever cut is air! Just never had anything to use it on when I bought it and now, I've got other knives I use and it just sets Nekid in a drawer with most of my other knives.

I have a few Tiger Sharks and they are pretty awesome blades! Not the chopper that a DogFather is, but pretty nice anyways. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Saw the film last night. My family was out of town, so (home alone) I slept next to my loaded 870 Express and my USP-9 under my wife's empty pillow.

Oh, and I'm getting one of those hats. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yep the ax is Paul Chen it one of my favorites. I have actually used it to shop out a tree stump in our yard. Here is my wife and mines Christmas card from a couple of years ago to prove it. I am at lunch at work so the only one I could find was the one I sent out to the folk here. It is spelled wrong :-) (I am a graphic designer at a sign shop and thought it would be funny)

Also I am not sure about what series the tiger shark is but it has a leather sheath and is AUS 6 not AUS 8. I believe it is 8? years old. I love the knifes looks but havent been able to chop or do anything with it because I promised my wife I would frame it for her. Just have not got to it yet. It is Jonh Locke”s knife from the TV show “lost” (her Favorite show)

Great card! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That card is great.

Yeah, we haven't been able to beat that one. But anyways Zombies?

I'm ready... been working on my cardio.

Rule #1, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

(Sorry if you haven't seen the movie yet. Here.)

Cardio, did some this weekend.
Branch that snagged on a backpack came full force into my eye.
Bruised, contusion, but still works.
I LOVE that hat, AND the Christmas card.
Nice kit Revengencer.

Now that is a nice Zombie kit. Drool.

geez, some weekend you had lol, heal up quick, you;ll need to be 100% when the hordes start coming....

i figured it wasint a table but a stack of ammo, who needs wood when you have perfectly sturdy ammo boxes

the zombie hat and scrap yard patch...winnahs!!!

That's an awesom kit!!! I'm inspired. I like the idea of one of those hats and a Scrapyard patch. I guess I'll have to start posting to get one of those patches.

I guess a hat made from an old tarp would be considered a scrap hat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

What's up with the giant machete in the photo with the axe? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
How did you come across that one if you don't mind my asking?

that machete definately looks like a zombie slayer.

Awesome if it wasn't aluminum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Axes and shotguns are where it at when it comes to zombies.



Swords and khukuris are nothing to sneer at either.

Ha. I am actually building a encased Zombie survival kit. Thats what the airsoft replicas are for. And I was thinking about an awesome machete heavy duty machete. So I was watching one of the new Friday the thirteenth movies and saw that was one heavy duty machete. So I looked on ebay if I could find a replica and there one was. the funny thing is I don't know what kind of steel it is but it is heavy as hell. I did some work on it to get it closer to what I had envisioned and to tell you the truth it looked better all nasty. I will see if I can find a mockup of my Zombie kit Idea

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k258/ktorr/thick.jpg

You don't see a whole lot of those ECS1 made Freddy Vs. Jason rounded tip machete replicas anymore.

Yeah, I was checking out the black one in your photo with the axe at the bottom of your original post.
Nice piece.

You know about that The guy who made its name was "maggot" something. I would appreciate a rundown of info you have because I honestly don't know anything but how much it cost. Man you guys are really knowlegable. Oh yeah here is one of my old mockups for what the kit might look like finished behind glass of course

what do you think of the cold steel OSS or is that a trainer I can't tell. I got one of the Camillus(sp) ones.

Now that's being ready for Zombie action

A great pic.....once again

Dan

I'm fairly certain that the guy who made that particular blade in your bottom pic was called "Mega" and ran an online horror movie prop reproduction site called East Coast Studio 1 up until early 2007.
They were generally produced from a hard aluminum alloy (custom versions were made from spring steel) and were meant to replicate the oversized machetes used in the movie "Freddy Vs. Jason".
They originally sold for $160.00.
There were several prop makers producing them at the time, some better than others but that looks exactly like one from ECS1, which were considered worldwide to be the most accurate to the film used blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That is the trainer in the photo, but I also have the Carbon V version. I really like it. The only thing I would change is to have a Res-C handle or micarta.

Dang you guys are prepared!!

Yeah not a fan of the handle myself either. I have a SRK and that material is awesome. I was really surprised by how light it is. and Actually not a big fan of that. that coupled with the handle makes it feel a little cheap. But like I said the SRK is Cool. That being said I can't Wait for my first Scrap yard knife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zombies obviously carry blades too. LOL

The SRK Carbon V is a good knife. It was actually my first good knife.

I broke mine.

It never failed me but then again I never used it hard.

They aren't bad when they're in one piece. LOL
I was abusing it a little. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

to be honest with you that look way nicer than mine but I think my materials might be better. Like I said I don't know how to identify materials very well but that thing is sturdy and heavy.

I saw some of the failures of the SRK and thought I needed something that would not fail me in the backwoods. Thats how I came across the Bussekin knives from knifetest.com and nos. I knew I had to have one when I actually saw the hard proof that everyone who make knives claim to have.

But I have to say my SRK has not broke (no tough use) But peace of mind is always better to have.

SRKs aren't S5s. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for the inspiration! Nice kit.

Ted, Holy crap! If that was my room I'd end up tripping on a middle of the night pee break and falling into that corner and impaling myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Nice preparedness though.

LOL, earthquakes worry me more than tripping. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

that is definately something to consider.

Love all of the ordnance on display! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

then again, it provides you with the "honest judge, he tripped and impaled himself." defense.

So look what I found lurking in the backyard this afternoon



My pose just before dispatching this critter



It must be the season and they are out early

Be very aware of your surroundings

and be ready.


Just so you know candy did not work no matter what they say this hallow season but an attitude adjustment from Father Dog goes a long way

Trick or...

Dan

heh... a zombie wielding a plastic battle axe... that's dumb...



everyone knows zombies can't use tools <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Good point...

Hey everyone, all dumb zombies are in Ohio...and there is no bag limit

Dan

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

well at some point zombies may make some sort of intellegence leap and learn to use tools. first steps toward a truely civilized zombie society.

Good grief - a dog eat dog - society!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If Orcs can learn to use khukris then zombies may also be able to learn to use weapons.

Ted - where did you get that picture of my ex-wife?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

LMAO. Nice hat, nice patch. Now i know why mom and dad moved out of OH.

Nice! I think the hat+patch combo is the way to go.
Zombie Hunter's unite!

and how would that be any different from the society we have today?

Ouch. that hurts. guessing she's not a member of the pound.

...that zombie is armed.

theyre evolving O_o

Talking about Zombies, The 2nd Hanable Lecter movie (where clariese was NOT Jody Foster). It's the one where he ate part of the guys brain. Wonder if he would qualify as Dr. Zombie??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Last night on AMC it was the classic, Night of the Living Dead. Today, I had to go out and get some potatoes and cabbage to go with my pork roast. I forgot about the change in time. I thought it was after 1 pm, so the church crowd would be cleared out. WRONG! Day of the Driving Dead. Filled with the weekly blessings, admonitions, and guilt, the drivers were trance-like zombies going 20 mph. Good lord, I should have gone last night when all the drunks were celebrating Halloween and the GA-FL game. It would have been safer.

You mention putting this behind glass, I'm presuming in a display case or frame on the wall but how about this for an idea. Working it into a coffee table top?

That would be some talking piece for sure.

You sir are a genius.
That would make the sweetest coffee table.
Great job on the layout, btw.
I think it is the perfect size for an emergency outbreak.

that is genious. coffee tables for everyone.

Is that a JYD zombie hiding behind that bush!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

It's Mike --- son of the Big Dog!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
