I'll tell you what.... people often ridicule "knock-off" brands of this or that, but in any given SHTF scenario, were I running through the woods with nothing but the clothes on my back and found two backpacks- one with all of the "knock-off" items shown vs a bag with nothing in it at all, the obvious choice would be the pack with the "knock-offs". I know too many armchair elitists who say, "I'll pass...I'm saving up for the real deal." My reply is, "And...in the meantime?"
my question is.....what good would a 3 inch blade do against a horde of zombies??? the utility knife is good, but come on...stabbin at zombies with a small knife is a no no
They tell you to buy the most expensive, high quality gear possible, so that when SHTF, they can sneak up and stab you with their $3 el-cheapo flea market knife, and then *they* will have the most expensive, high quality gear possible.
what happens when u have no cash, or u cant get a gun for what ever the risen?...
my supplie is a nail bat, pipe club, all my dads old knifes.. (needs to b sharped since there to dull. and im trying to get a wall-mart 12 inch knife. (not the best but its all i can aford...... witch ant much.. lol xD tho where i live the area ppl have guns... there red necks/ trailer trash type of foke.. xD

@TheLolzman24 Lol take a look at his channel he has been dedicated for the last few months on informing people of what food and water is necessary and prep for it.
I have a few suggestions. 1) Knife choice is good but Kershaw makes a knife called the Clash that is $18 on amazon after shipping and is amazing. 2) Why a Bersa thunder? If you want something for 250ish go with a S&W Sigma (glock clone nib for $250) or a Sig Sauer P250 (nib $350). Everything else was totally on point though. I'm a huge Springfield fan btw and that .40 was my first pistol and it is one of the nicest guns I've ever owned and I own a bunch of different makes and models.
IMO(im not hating at all) i think maybe a good budget sidearm would be a S&W sigma 9mm or .40....glock design but way cheaper.... I got a new sigma 9mm for $300 from GanderMTN and its been a problem free gun. Good video though
The LD20 is one case where I will say go ahead and spend the 50-60 dollars. It's SO much better than comparable lights because of it's quality, modes, run-time that you know it will work. Any sharp knife will cut---- not all flashlights will be guaranteed to shine.
@pyromaneak47 reloading is nothing if u cant find the rounds or hit what u are aimin at a .357 will shot a revolver 9mm , .38 and .357 . a taurus judge will shot . 45 long colt and .410 shotgun shells . a good semi is ok i have 2 9mm but i would like in survival you have to use what u got and i would thank that everyone would want the semi auto ammo and leave the rest
Excelent. The good thing is that once you have your basic kit with less than stelar items, you can begin your quest for the high quality items and start replacing them. The benefit is two fold because at that moment that you beging replacing, the original cheap items become backup items; and as the saying goes: One is none and two is one. Thank you.
i have a question why do everyone have semi auto and no revolvers i say a good .357 and a taurus judge would be better then a semi auto because less moving part less breaking
BIG5 everything there is made in china, it would be better to help your neighbor with a job if we all supported made in whatever country we live in, maybe there would be less people out of work, and less crime
Great video. One thing about the Ultrafire flashlight. I'd hesitate to recommend a light that takes non-standard batteries. In an emergency I'd want a light I could feed by going into any drugstore, discount store, etc., and those cr123 batteries could be a problem. Or that I could feed by opening a TV remote control, another flashlight or whatever.
BTW, where on earth are these Big 5 stores I keep hearing about in videos. I'm in the southeast U.S. and I've never seen one.
And to add to the inexpensive yet extremely useful items for something like this lets not forget the Mosin Nagant rifle. $100 unless on sale I've seen for as low as $49, the ammo is $100 for 500 rounds and its accurate out to 1000 yards with a good scope, and can hit a deer at full run at 550 yards no scope. So for $200-250 you have a bolt action rifle that can take down a deer or even zombies at distance, Kill before they get close enough to hurt you.
nice vid. i had been looking for a decent flashlight and this really helped. also the xd 40. great choice. i have an xd45 and an xdm 9mm. both great guns.
I think that this is a great video. You make an excellent point about items that are not the most expensive to be purchased still being good survival items. However, I caution the viewers of this video about buying the cheapest items they can find. If a person can’t afford the most expensive item and still be able to sufficiently prep in every category, it is a much safer bet to stay somewhere in the middle of the price range. I never recommend a handgun smaller than a 9mm for self defense.
@quintonalame45 yeah ur so gonna die in a zombie invasion. Here are some obvious reasons chainsaw are not ideal during a zombie invasion. Sure it can easily kill zombies, BUT 1. Chains saws are extremely heavy, alone. 2. It has infinite fuel and the fuel adds on a lot more weight. 3. Its so freaking loud, that will attract almost every zombie within like a 1 mile range.
I got that multi tool for free with the NRA membership too lol. Dude locktite it up if you haven't already because the screws back out quick! Let me throw some other ideas and prices out since this vid is old. The XD in .40 is 400 bucks now and you can walk away with the .45 for less than 500 OTD. Also you can buy a pair of cold steel Recon folders for 45 bucks a PAIR. Awesome folders, they have never let me down in any country or environment. Love the XD, throw a Stream light TLR-3 on it!
Nice vid. I tell my friends and family the same story. I have expensive guns and knives and not so expensive ones also. If you can afford some higher end stuff go for it. If ya can't, get what can with what ya got. Having something sure beats the crap out of having nothing at all.
If only zombies were the only thing to worry about right now. I think this shit is interesting and informative, but we have bigger fish to fry at the moment. There are extraterrestrial biological entities in underground bases running our planet and most of us don't even know it. We are getting fucked over by them and all the shadow governments involved.
The BERsa is a pretty good gun for the money. In the .380 yhough I would have to get the Thunder Plus it has a 15 round double stack magazine. I have one due to it's size and ease of concealed carry. Of course I also have 3 Sig Sauer P226's. With the bersa I carry a mag in the gun and 2 extras like I do anytime I carry. So anyway 46 rounds does not hurt, unless you are the bad guy.
I was trying to find the off brand flashlight you mentioned in the video( Yiquan) I could not find one on ebay do you know if the seller you bought yours from is still selling them?
Last S&W knife I bought broke, so no more S&W for me...:) Great Idea, your right about the money aspect and folks not doing anything. I buy on Amazon to save
Don't ever forget te .22 LR. Eskimos have used this for a long time and for many purposes, you can carry a whole lot of rounds and consentrate on head shots.
A roofer axe will cover a lot of ground, it's light and you can throw it.
4Sevens Preon_II is smaller and has just as many lumens (180 on high) for $47. Uses 2 standerd AAA batteries. Lasts a couple hours on high and a day and a half on low
I totally agree with the concept here, for instance i had a convo with someone who had bought a 200$ survival knife, i argued for the price an entire kit could have been built including a machete and a smaller blade, thus being more versatile and offering much more in a SHTF situation rather than the 200$ collectors knife he argued the quality wasnt there and the kit would fail me, i countered that with the fact that i would have half my kit sooner than he had tht single 200$knife
I'd recommend to anyone a Streamlight of any kind. They're just a fantastic flashlight that holds a great charge and is blinding. Sorry I don't know lumens or candlepower, but check em out if anyone's interested in a great flashlight, I think you'll be very pleased
You can buy an M-tech Jose Negron, folding karambit knife, online for about six bucks plus shipping. It's very well made, SOLID, comes with a SHARP blade. I bought two, in case one ever failed. That was I don't know how many years ago. The one is still in its original box, and the one I use is not only my favorite knife, it still looks and feels brand new. It does need to be sharpened at the moment, but once it is, it will be just like the day I got it.
Great review! Very valid points. I own a Glock 19, however I also own a Ruger P95. Both very reliable! But a $250 difference. Bottom line is that I could do the same damage with either weapon.
Personal opinion from a dude on the internet who claims to know a lot about knives: I wouldn't pay much more for the smith and wesson knife than what you did. They're really not that great and you can get gouged pretty seriously on them. They technically retail for anywhere between 30-70 bucks, but tend to be bought in bulk and sold for deep discounts by big stores.
@agreg24 im going with the ruger sr9 compact, decently durable, dirt cheap.... if i had the extra money i would probly get a CZ75b or one of the 9mm glocks
@Taud You can't go wrong with any of the guns you mentioned. I recommend that you buy the gun that you want the first time. The difference in price between and SR9 and G17/19/26/34 is about $100-$150. It sucks to regret a gun purchase over a small amount. The Glock 19 is a nice gun and a great all around size. Also remember the mag prices. You can get factory Glock 17 mags for really cheap ($15). Also the Glock 19 will take the 17 round all the way up to the 33 round 9mm Glock mags.
@agreg24 im in canada here so im not sure the price difference, last time i checkd i think it was a bit more, something i also thot of is that kal tec is making one of their pistol carbines specifically for canadian law and if im not mistaken it takes the glock mags so that might be another reason to get my glock after all
You never know what scientists can do behind the screens. If it happens it's not goin to be "rise from the grave zombies" it's going to be a mass infection, like 28 weeks later
My folding tanto with the serrations was $8, my Rayovak 50 3-WATT mini-light was $20, My Bersa Thunder DuoTone .380 with holster and 3 mags AND ammo was $250, my krambit was $10, my hatchet (Made IN USA) was $15, and I have about 4 multi-tolls that all were free ! Keep in my mind I own 2 Glocks(22 & 27), 2 M&Ps(40 &9c) and RIA CS 1911, Taurus 617SS .357 snub, Taurus model 85 .38 snub, S&W 22A pistol, Mossberg 590 Mariner, Ruger 10/22 w/scope, Remington 710 30.06 w/scope and Bushmaster M4.
@ZombieTactics My zombie gear: A Remington 700 XCR II in .308 (4+1) sighted for 300 yards, a Remington 870 (7 + 1) 12 gauge shotgun, a Springfield XD(M) .40 (16+1) pistol w/ 5 mags included, a Bersa Thunder .380 (7+1) w/ 4 mags, a .357 6 shot revolver, 2 Ka-Bar bayonnets, 1 Cold Steel 18" machete, a S&W 4" lockback knife, 1 medium asp, 1 small asp, a set of brass knuckes, 4 MagLite flashlights, a 30 day MRE stash, and about 3,000 rounds for all the mentioned weapons. I think you might approve...
@Cflore001 There is always a possibility of that when fighting off zombies. But seeing as how I'm more prepared than that guy drinking his mocha frappachino at starbucks while updating his twitter account every 10 seconds. He's more likely to die in the first stages of the outbreak. I'm no master shooter, but I'm very profficient with both my shotgun, my XD(M), and my Ka-Bar knives. To die while blowing away a shitload of zombies, and saving1 last round for myself. Go out Kurt Cobain style.....
@mcmelonmaster I ain't gonna lie, it won't be easy. For the handguns, I have a ModGear MOLLE vest that I've fitted with holsters for all 3, with 2 extra ammo dump pouches for shells and mags.Also a friend of mine who was in the Army was able to get his hands on some extra Level III duty backpacks before he was discharged. I got one, attached a MOLLE shotgun scabbard that will actually hold the 700 just fine. During treks, I will have the shotgun as my primary assault weapon against zombies.
@mcmelonmaster Before you ask, yes I have been able to load all that up and walk all day ( I live out in the hill country ) around open fields and forest type terrain. True, I can't run with all this on, but if the shit hits the fan, there's a quick disconnect buckle, drop it and go with my shotgun and my pistols. Plus I doubt that I'd travel alone, so everyone with me will all evenly carry something to lighten the load and make it a better travel / survival situation. Not perfect, but favorable
@kazetehskylord Actually I have a Level III US Army backpack along with a MOLLE vest with the PALS webbing and attachments that allow me to take it all at once. I won't lie, I've loaded it all up and with the vest and backpack loaded up, it's heavy as a mofo, I can walk briskly but not run. Lucky for me I have 2 brothers who live just a half mile away and a wife who's a freakin bassass with the KaBars and the asps. But if I were to travel alone, yes it is possible by myself, just not very fun...
@centurion205 Wow... I suggest that if anything happens, get your ass to Tromsoe, Norway. It's an island accessible only by boat or the two bridges that connects it to Tromsdalen and Kvaloya. The environment is too cold for a zombie virus to survive. Oh, and I and a few of my friends would be more than happy to carry some of that gear for you (If ammunition is a part of the deal =D)
@kazetehskylord In a zombie apocalypse breakout, I doubt that my destination would be an island freakin thousands of miles away. More like I would head south to the islands that are closest to my state (Texas). There aren't too many, but there are a few and with the idea everybody would be heading north to Canada, the drive would be easy enough, just travel by day, hide at night, and "aquire" a bost that holds me and the people I'm with, get to an island, secure it, and live there for a while.
@centurion205 You just reminded me, I need to get my hands on a radio... Weapons shouldn't be a problem for me yet, as I have a fair deal (12 years...) of training with melee weaponry. Get outside into our garage and get the axes and a crowbar, get my brother and his katana and make a break for my friends house. If we have a steady sypply of food and water, the place should be safe. Camp in the upper floor, destroy the stairs, get their guns, and wait for help.
@kazetehskylord I have several radios, portable sleeping equipment, and other things, but in my origional msg, there just wasn't enough room to put all that down. Also look into defensive clothing like leather and heavy denim, things that are tough to bite thru. It's not just weapons, it's being able to fend off zombies when the ammo runs out and it's down to hand to hand combat. It may sound cheezy, but think renessiance fair leather armor and weapons.
@centurion205 I'm thinking I'll make me some combat armor with chest and stomach paddings, arm guards, knee shins and such... And a neck guard. This should hold eventual bites out. The human jaw is actually strong enough to bite through a steel chain, but the teeth can't handle it. So I'm pretty sure it should do the trick. Mount on some pockets, and I'm good.
@centurion205 Tight clothing and short hair proves best when running from a zombie. Long hair and baggy clothing is just waiting to die, when running and an unexpected zombie turns the corner he/she will grab anything hanging loose and drag you to your doom.
@centurion205 Do you really need all those EXTRA weapons? Just think, that's a lot of equipment weighing you down. Just imagine your fortress/fortified building is overrun, you need to move quickly, pack up all your stuff and be on the move. Don't you think 5 guns is a little much AND 3,000 rounds? You won't be killing every zombie you see, mostly trying to avoid them because going Rambo on those motherfuckers truly ends in disaster.
@00herpderp00 I believe I need these extra weapons. If you have 9 zombies at you and only 7 shots in your shotgun, you need to have a backup weapon to get to very fast. I just believe in having backups for the backups and so forth. Plus I love shooting at the range like "civilized people" like going golfing. Difference is that in a zombie world, a 9 iron ain't worth shit compared to a 12 gauge shotgun. I don't intend to be on the run, I intend to build up my defenses, dig in and fight em off....
@centurion205 Lets create a scenario, you're walled up in a prison, O.K, and you're running low on supplies, 7 of your 15 survivors have been reincarnated and you had to take 'em out. You're making your dinner when you hear 2 loud BANGS, the two fences have fallen and 1000's of zombies come pouring in. They break through the main door and your only escape is the 2nd floor barred window which, has been broken. In this scenario would you stay and die or leave and survive? The lighter the better.
@00herpderp00 Also ran out of characters. I intend to dig in, and get some sniping practice in with my rifle. The other weapons are for CQ combat. But IF my perimeter is breached and I do have do get up and go, I won't be alone (friends and family all live close). Everyone with me will cary a little bit of something. We all have enough combined defensive weapons and ammo to be on the move and still be combat effective. And it is possible to go with all that I have, not comfy, but still possible.
@BitFox I wanted to put it down on video and post it, but seeing as how my 2yr old recently took my digital camera/videocam and tried to flush it down the toilet...........yeah. No video posting for some time. And yes, the items described in my posting to ZombieTactics are all items that I do really have in my gun safe. I won't lie it cost a lot and took a few years to quire all the weapons. But given time, anyone can create a ZAS/WROL kit. It just takes time, money and also the wife's approval.
@ibanezkid07 Bro, a minigun would eat up those rounds in about an hour.....You might wanna keep it though if you have about 10,000 zombies all coming at you at once.
@centurion205 put it in a video? lol id love to see you carry all the rounds let alone the guns, but your on the right track! if you want a general idea, watch all of my videos!
Hahaha....a 0.00% chance......so says the guy who isn't prepared. Wonder if he know's what Rabies is? Hmm....not exactly the same as what we think zombies are..but pretty similar in a sense. Excellent channel BTW!

@quintonalame45 yeah ur so gonna die in a zombie invasion. Here are some obvious reasons chainsaw are not ideal during a zombie invasion. Sure it can easily kill zombies, BUT 1. Chains saws are extremely heavy, alone. 2. It has infinite fuel and the fuel adds on a lot more weight. 3. Its so freaking loud, that will attract almost every zombie within like a 1 mile range.

Let me throw some other ideas and prices out since this vid is old. The XD in .40 is 400 bucks now and you can walk away with the .45 for less than 500 OTD. Also you can buy a pair of cold steel Recon folders for 45 bucks a PAIR. Awesome folders, they have never let me down in any country or environment. Love the XD, throw a Stream light TLR-3 on it!

The BERsa is a pretty good gun for the money. In the .380 yhough I would have to get the Thunder Plus it has a 15 round double stack magazine. I have one due to it's size and ease of concealed carry. Of course I also have 3 Sig Sauer P226's. With the bersa I carry a mag in the gun and 2 extras like I do anytime I carry. So anyway 46 rounds does not hurt, unless you are the bad guy.

There's a lot of snobs on the forums who pretty much laugh at you if you say that you've got a Sanrenmu knife or an Ultrafire flashlight.
Well, if you want a $400 Chris Reeve and a $200 Surefire, good for you, but I'd rather spend my money on other things.
To me, a knife or a flashlight is a tool, not something I sit around and admire.

I totally agree with the concept here, for instance i had a convo with someone who had bought a 200$ survival knife, i argued for the price an entire kit could have been built including a machete and a smaller blade, thus being more versatile and offering much more in a SHTF situation rather than the 200$ collectors knife he argued the quality wasnt there and the kit would fail me, i countered that with the fact that i would have half my kit sooner than he had tht single 200$knife

You can buy an M-tech Jose Negron, folding karambit knife, online for about six bucks plus shipping. It's very well made, SOLID, comes with a SHARP blade. I bought two, in case one ever failed. That was I don't know how many years ago. The one is still in its original box, and the one I use is not only my favorite knife, it still looks and feels brand new. It does need to be sharpened at the moment, but once it is, it will be just like the day I got it.

Personal opinion from a dude on the internet who claims to know a lot about knives: I wouldn't pay much more for the smith and wesson knife than what you did. They're really not that great and you can get gouged pretty seriously on them. They technically retail for anywhere between 30-70 bucks, but tend to be bought in bulk and sold for deep discounts by big stores.

@Taud You can't go wrong with any of the guns you mentioned. I recommend that you buy the gun that you want the first time. The difference in price between and SR9 and G17/19/26/34 is about $100-$150. It sucks to regret a gun purchase over a small amount. The Glock 19 is a nice gun and a great all around size. Also remember the mag prices. You can get factory Glock 17 mags for really cheap ($15). Also the Glock 19 will take the 17 round all the way up to the 33 round 9mm Glock mags.

@agreg24 im in canada here so im not sure the price difference, last time i checkd i think it was a bit more, something i also thot of is that kal tec is making one of their pistol carbines specifically for canadian law and if im not mistaken it takes the glock mags so that might be another reason to get my glock after all

He's more likely to die in the first stages of the outbreak. I'm no master shooter, but I'm very profficient with both my shotgun, my XD(M), and my Ka-Bar knives. To die while blowing away a shitload of zombies, and saving1 last round for myself. Go out Kurt Cobain style.....

mcmelonmaster 1 year ago
@mcmelonmaster I ain't gonna lie, it won't be easy. For the handguns, I have a ModGear MOLLE vest that I've fitted with holsters for all 3, with 2 extra ammo dump pouches for shells and mags.Also a friend of mine who was in the Army was able to get his hands on some extra Level III duty backpacks before he was discharged. I got one, attached a MOLLE shotgun scabbard that will actually hold the 700 just fine. During treks, I will have the shotgun as my primary assault weapon against zombies.
centurion205 1 year ago
@mcmelonmaster Before you ask, yes I have been able to load all that up and walk all day ( I live out in the hill country ) around open fields and forest type terrain. True, I can't run with all this on, but if the shit hits the fan, there's a quick disconnect buckle, drop it and go with my shotgun and my pistols. Plus I doubt that I'd travel alone, so everyone with me will all evenly carry something to lighten the load and make it a better travel / survival situation. Not perfect, but favorable

@kazetehskylord Actually I have a Level III US Army backpack along with a MOLLE vest with the PALS webbing and attachments that allow me to take it all at once. I won't lie, I've loaded it all up and with the vest and backpack loaded up, it's heavy as a mofo, I can walk briskly but not run. Lucky for me I have 2 brothers who live just a half mile away and a wife who's a freakin bassass with the KaBars and the asps. But if I were to travel alone, yes it is possible by myself, just not very fun...

@centurion205 Wow... I suggest that if anything happens, get your ass to Tromsoe, Norway. It's an island accessible only by boat or the two bridges that connects it to Tromsdalen and Kvaloya.

kazetehskylord 1 year ago
@kazetehskylord In a zombie apocalypse breakout, I doubt that my destination would be an island freakin thousands of miles away. More like I would head south to the islands that are closest to my state (Texas). There aren't too many, but there are a few and with the idea everybody would be heading north to Canada, the drive would be easy enough, just travel by day, hide at night, and "aquire" a bost that holds me and the people I'm with, get to an island, secure it, and live there for a while.
centurion205 1 year ago
@centurion205 You just reminded me, I need to get my hands on a radio... Weapons shouldn't be a problem for me yet, as I have a fair deal (12 years...) of training with melee weaponry. Get outside into our garage and get the axes and a crowbar, get my brother and his katana and make a break for my friends house. If we have a steady sypply of food and water, the place should be safe. Camp in the upper floor, destroy the stairs, get their guns, and wait for help.
kazetehskylord 1 year ago
@kazetehskylord I have several radios, portable sleeping equipment, and other things, but in my origional msg, there just wasn't enough room to put all that down. Also look into defensive clothing like leather and heavy denim, things that are tough to bite thru. It's not just weapons, it's being able to fend off zombies when the ammo runs out and it's down to hand to hand combat. It may sound cheezy, but think renessiance fair leather armor and weapons.
centurion205 1 year ago
@centurion205 I'm thinking I'll make me some combat armor with chest and stomach paddings, arm guards, knee shins and such... And a neck guard. This should hold eventual bites out. The human jaw is actually strong enough to bite through a steel chain, but the teeth can't handle it. So I'm pretty sure it should do the trick. Mount on some pockets, and I'm good.
kazetehskylord 1 year ago
@centurion205 Tight clothing and short hair proves best when running from a zombie. Long hair and baggy clothing is just waiting to die, when running and an unexpected zombie turns the corner he/she will grab anything hanging loose and drag you to your doom.
00herpderp00 1 year ago
@centurion205 Do you really need all those EXTRA weapons? Just think, that's a lot of equipment weighing you down. Just imagine your fortress/fortified building is overrun, you need to move quickly, pack up all your stuff and be on the move. Don't you think 5 guns is a little much AND 3,000 rounds? You won't be killing every zombie you see, mostly trying to avoid them because going Rambo on those motherfuckers truly ends in disaster.
00herpderp00 1 year ago
@00herpderp00 I believe I need these extra weapons. If you have 9 zombies at you and only 7 shots in your shotgun, you need to have a backup weapon to get to very fast. I just believe in having backups for the backups and so forth. Plus I love shooting at the range like "civilized people" like going golfing. Difference is that in a zombie world, a 9 iron ain't worth shit compared to a 12 gauge shotgun. I don't intend to be on the run, I intend to build up my defenses, dig in and fight em off....
centurion205 10 months ago
@centurion205 Lets create a scenario, you're walled up in a prison, O.K, and you're running low on supplies, 7 of your 15 survivors have been reincarnated and you had to take 'em out. You're making your dinner when you hear 2 loud BANGS, the two fences have fallen and 1000's of zombies come pouring in. They break through the main door and your only escape is the 2nd floor barred window which, has been broken. In this scenario would you stay and die or leave and survive? The lighter the better.

But IF my perimeter is breached and I do have do get up and go, I won't be alone (friends and family all live close). Everyone with me will cary a little bit of something. We all have enough combined defensive weapons and ammo to be on the move and still be combat effective. And it is possible to go with all that I have, not comfy, but still possible.
