 | Timberland Chocorua Trail Mens Boots in Brown/Green sz:10.5 Buy new: $97.50 Boots are a very subjective thing, but this is a good one.

Remember, the key to getting away from the shambling dead is a brisk pace that you can keep for a long period. |
 | Gerber 45905 Camp Axe With Sheath Buy new: $36.16 This is primarily a tool, not a weapon. The extended tang allows this to be used as a hammer as well. The light weight is also key. In a pinch you could use this to destroy the brain. |

 | Kaito Electronics Inc. KA500BLK Voyager Solar/Dynamo Emergency Radio - Black Buy new: $49.99 A great item. It will pick up emergency bands as well as AM/FM. Solar and crank methods of charging means you will always have power. But my favorite thing is the USB port on it that will charge other gadgets. So GPS, Cell phones, or any other electronics that use USB will be filled with juice. |
