Let the world know you’re prepared. Just because you may be a zombie preparedness fiend doesn’t mean you have to hide in the basement of the Army Base you just took over. A little flaunting of your mindset and preparedness can be a good thing, as long as you don’t reveal your escape and fortification plans.

Zombie Max Ammo

Just in case regular bullets aren’t enough, you can make those zeds think(?) twice with the proven effectiveness of zombie tested and researched ammunition.

The ammunition company Hornady has produced a new line of proven (Have you seen a zombie?) bullets and shells called Z-Max. The ammo runs the range from 380 Auto to 7.62x39mm and more, including some particularly nasty looking 12ga shells.

Go pick up a box or twelve at Hornady.

Leupold VX-R Zombie Riflescope

The American optics company Leupold has jumped on the anti-z bandwagon with a fine release to compliment the rail on your weapon. Their VX-R scope brings high technology with a touch of anti-zed class. Its features include a green on switch and illumination dot, as well as some spiffy morale boosting gooey fonts and decals on the exterior.

You can find more information about the VX-R in a few different styles at Leupold’s website.

Anti-Zombie Chainsaw Rail Attachment

It’s certainly been seen before from the maker crowd, but now the (unwieldy) chainsaw rifle attachment has leveled up to professional development. The chainsaw even has its own zombie themed EOTech sight! You know, so you can aim for headsaws.  The Zombie X prototype was created for FEMA and the SHOT Show.

The Ultimate Combination

The tactical LEGO set is now complete. Here’s the ultimate combination:

• AA-12 automatic recoilless shotgun
• Leupold VX-R anti-zombie sight
• Hornady Z-Max proven 12ga shells
• Chainsaw X underbarrel pic rail attachment

Goodbye zombies, we’re ready and we’ll look great bashing your heads in even when we run out of ammo.

Do you have a healthy fear of social collapse? Do you enjoy roughage and guns? Are you sure your neighbor would eat you at the drop of a hat?Well then the premier of new apocalypse survival show, Doomsday Preppers…

Zombie Cyborg…made by The Mangler!

Colony Collapse Disorder is destroying honey bee populations around America. Honey bees are an integral and essential but fragile part of the food chain. Unfortunately like we humans, they are not immune to virii and zombie parasites.

Discovery of the bee parasite and their subsequent strange death came as a surprise to researcher John Hafernik at San Francisco State University. He made the discovery by accident, after he foraged some bees to feed to a praying mantis. The bees were left unattended in a vial and soon began to die, but not in the usual way of sitting still and curling up.

“They kept stretching [their legs] out and then falling over,” said his graduate student Andrew Core. “It really painted a picture of something like a zombie.”

The parasite Apocephalus borealis lays its eggs in the bee’s abdomen. The larvae then push their way into the world, often exiting between the bee’s head and thorax.

The quote from the graduate student is surely sensational and perhaps taken slightly out of context, but mass honey bee death is still quite unsettling. This parasite could be working in combination with many other factors, leading to the mass die-offs. Regardless, there’s only one thing worse than bees.

Zombees.

One year left.

Z-Day. 2012. The Mayan zombie super-apocalypse. Sensational journalism. Paranoid survivalists. Gun nuts. People out having fun. Boy scouts taking their preparedness to the next level. If you can be ready for this, you can be ready for anything.

2012 and the end of the world has been discussed at length here (dozens of comments pending) and elsewhere. This site naturally leans towards a zombie apocalypse on the 21st of December, 2012. We’re zombie fans, we love this stuff. Take it with a grain of salt as you will. True,  most apocalypse theories and end time projections lack scientific evidence, but we don’t really care. If we can prepare in a year for a be-all end-all apocalypse of local or global scale based on humans turning into something decidedly less human, you can count on a zombie preparedness expert to get you out of a jam, change a flat tire, whip up delicious scorpion stew, or have a solid sate of mind to hear your own fears. We’re there for you, but we won’t hesitate to end it real quick if you decide to get all bitey on us. Just don’t expect us to share our escape strategies and survival plans with anyone, even our loved ones. They will be revealed when necessary.

Doomsday 2012 will certainly be creeping into mainstream media as the year progresses. You may count on a few groups or individuals even creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Y2K, Heaven’s Gate, May21, 2011 — the dates have come and gone, and some of us remain. That may be true come a year, but it doesn’t mean our curiosity will be satisfied on the 22nd.

Research indicates it will be the “Boyle” rage virus, still alive human type of zombie. If you’re looking for evidence, all it takes is a few Google searches and Cracked’s RSS feed. Cracked has posted numerous articles about Z-day. Here’s a few relevant ones to bring you up to speed.

5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen

• Brain parasites (such as toxoplasma or Naegleria fowleri)
• Neurotoxins (like tetrodotoxin)
• Rage Virus (think advanced rabies)
• Neurogenesis (stem cell research causes post-mortem or post trauma brain growth)
• Nanobots

 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail (Quickly)

• Natural predators (dogs, wolves)
• Heat
• Cold
• Biting as a bad poor of transmission
• Inability to heal (which assumes dead zombies)
• Natural landscape barriers
• Weapons and people

And a terse list that fulfills a lot of our carnal desires:

5 Reasons You Secretly Want a Zombie Apocalypse

• Guilt Free Violence
• Free Stuff
• Simplicity
• Acting Like a Jerk
• Being the Alpha Dog

Even if the zombie, climate, political, or economic apocalypse doesn’t happen on the 21st, zombie haters will remain vigilant, stocked, and prepared.

It’s not a paranoia, it’s not a fear, or even a desire. It’s a mindset to think “what if” and “how can I be ready”.

Time to start the countdown.
