Survival On-the-Cheap Recommendations, Part 1

Part 1 of 2. You don't have to break the bank to put together a good "zombie survival kit". If you keep your wits about you, you can get good stuff for a fraction of the price of the "top name" equipment. It's the old 80/20 rule: Look for things that have 80% of the quality/features for 20% of the price. Here I suggest possible options for EDC knives, multitool, handgun and flashlights. The items mentioned here are for illustration purposes of the general principle, and not specific recommendations, although I do think that everything shown will "do the job"

Some stuff shown in this video: Springfield XD40, Bersa Thunder .380. Kershaw Blur Tanto, Kershaw Beacon, CRKT Bear Claw, Leatherman Blast, Fenix LD10 & LD20

i can get a smith and wesson sigma 9 mm for 299 i think i'll go with that

[BuckMasterBradford7]

I agree with the people saying what would a 4 inch knife do I would carry my Bowie knife with a 8 or 12 inch blade or my 9 inch KBAR

@1timby HiPoint guns are garbage. Poorly made. You get what you pay for. You don't want to NEED your weapon and it jam on you.

[patriots1needed]

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

What about the Hi-Point 9 mm handgun for a survival weapon? I believe they can be had for under $200 us. Just a thought.

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?"

what is a 3-4 inch blade going to do to a zombie and if you were stupid enough to go against a zombie atleast use an 8 inch blade

[ALUD13]

Hilarious. the only two handguns I own are an XDM 40 and Bersa thunder. I guess i'm ready then.

[USMCrecruitOORAH]

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
