Everything You Need To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse

Whether you're stuck at home, in a car, or on foot, this list has you covered. And if the Zombie Apocalypse doesn't happen, you have the materials for general emergency preparedness and/or a camping trip.

1. Hidden Rooms and Hiding Spots

Nothing says Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness like a domestic fortress with hidden rooms and secret passageways. Outsmart those zombies all from the comfort of your own home!

2. Twinkies

For the sake of tradition.

3. Emergency Food Packs

Keep plenty of these in your secret hideouts (or even your car), and you'll be able to sustain yourself and your group for days! Wait out those pesky zombie attacks without worrying about food supplies.

(Also, an excellent idea for general emergency preparedness)

4. First Aid Supplies

You should have these in your house anyways.

5. Candles

For lighting and warmth, because chances are you're not going to have electricity.

6. Vegetable Seeds

If you're in it for the long haul, make sure to have seeds available. They'll be useful for when you need to build and sustain a survivors' colony.

7. Sturdy Backpack

So, you're starting to run out of supplies at home, and you need to leave your fortress to scavenge for resources. The first thing you need is a sturdy backpack to hold all the items in this list!

8. Pet Emergency Kits

The pet sized version of the emergency backpack! Just think, if Sam had this in "I Am Legend" (*sob*), she might have survived. Maybe.

Fill this kit up with treats, bandages, waste bags, more weapons, etc.

9. LifeStraw

You don't want to know what's in the water during a zombie outbreak.

10. Water Purification Tablets

Amazon / Via amazon.com

Just in case you needed to use your LifeStraw as an impromptu weapon.

11. Walkie Talkies

Amazon / Via amazon.com

Cell towers are always down in zombie scenarios, so use these to keep in touch with your survivor group.

12. Fire Starters

Harbor Freight Tools / Via harborfreight.com

Fire is a thing zombie's are afraid of, right? Otherwise, you'll probably need to build a fire at some point for warmth.

13. Pencil Sharpener

So tiny, so cheap, yet so useful. Carry around a simple pencil sharpener to create tiny spears, and use the wood shavings as kindling.

14. A Simple Taser

Amazon / Via amazon.com

And now we're getting to the fun part: Weapons.

Did you know that you can just buy tasers on Amazon for like $10? This fact will come in handy during the showdown between humans and zombies.

Protect yourself without breaking the bank!

15. An Advanced Taser

Amazon / Via amazon.com

Because one taser just isn't good enough when you're staring down a gang of should-be corpses.

This one also doubles as a flashlight! Neat.

16. A Badass Axe

Sleek. Lightweight. Sharp.

An axe can help cut through an army of the dead, while also serving as a tool to help cut down trees and branches for shelters and fires.

17. A Badass Shovel

Another great tool to have under your belt. Use it as a weapon, and then use it to dig the graves of the fallen zombies (because your sense of empathy will definitely kick in).

18. Lightweight Towel

To wipe off all that blood and sweat, duh.

Also makes a great impromptu blanket after a long day of zombie slaying.

Got everything? Good.
