Suddenly it will come in handy.

1. Electric bike

Only in films like "Mad Max" can the heroes in a global catastrophe drive along flat roads in muscle cars with a consumption of 30 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. In reality, everything would be different. The infrastructure would be in a ruined state: no gas stations or maintenance services.

Therefore, the best means of transportation in a zombie apocalypse will be an electric bike. Sure, you won't look as cool as a Harley-Davidson hero in Days Gone, but you will be much faster on a bike than on foot. Plus, when the battery runs out, you can always run away from the zombies by pedaling the old fashioned way.

2. Multitool

An extremely valuable tool that combines pliers, a knife, a screwdriver, an awl, a saw and other useful things in a compact body. Thanks to it, you will significantly save space in your backpack. And in conditions when an extra load can cost you your life, this is very important.

3. Lantern

The night is dark and full of zombies! Therefore, it is best to stock up on a powerful flashlight that will illuminate your path. In addition, a scenario is quite possible in which the monsters will be afraid of the light, for example, as in the movie "I Am Legend". In this case, the flashlight will also become an effective weapon.

4. Walkie-talkie

Mobile communications and the Internet do not work, messengers with letters can be eaten, and it can take a long time to breed and train carrier pigeons. In such extreme conditions, a walkie-talkie will be the best means of communication. With it, you can coordinate with other survivors without attracting unnecessary attention.

5. Electric generator

Electrical devices have become so tightly embedded in our lives that it will be difficult to abandon them even in a global catastrophe. Considering that you can forget about centralized power supply, you should pay attention to gasoline generators. They will be able to provide you and other survivors with electricity for 10 hours without refueling. Just keep in mind that these are quite noisy devices and they can attract intruders.

6. Portable water filter

Cholera and other diseases do not fit well with the romanticized image of a fighter with the undead. Therefore, you also need to worry about the quality of drinking water. For long outings from the survivor camp, a portable water filter will do. It does not take up much space in your backpack, and thanks to it you can safely drink from water.

7. Lighter

Fire will protect you not only from zombies, but also from wild animals. In addition, with the help of a fire, you will prepare food and keep warm. Such a small device will come in handy in any unusual situation.

8. Protective kit

People have strong jaws, and they can bite very painfully. Therefore, try to cover your body as much as possible. To do this, buy a motorcycle helmet, Kevlar gloves, an armored jacket with a high collar and ankle boots in advance. This will protect you from bites and infections.

What to buy:

9. First aid kit

You might be thinking, "Why do I need a first aid kit if after one bite or scratch I become a zombie myself?" And you may be right, but in a zombie apocalypse, the living dead are not the only problem. At times, other people can be even more dangerous, as was the case in The Walking Dead. In addition, poisoning, scratches, dislocations, fractures and other troubles have not been canceled either. Therefore, bandages, antibiotics and anesthetics will definitely come in handy.

Bonus: weapon

Knives, bats and chainsaws are considered ideal tools for killing zombies. But in fact, their effectiveness is quite controversial. For a knife fight or to chop a monster with a chainsaw, like Doom Executioner from the game Doom, you need to get too close to the living corpse. And if one bite is enough for infection, then you need to keep a distance from the zombies. In this case, it is better to use spears or some other pole-arm: spears, glevis, halberds, guisarms, scythes or pitchforks. They can be found in the nearby history museum. Do not be afraid, in the post-apocalypse conditions no one will judge you.

A more affordable option for those who are not in the mood for a stroll to the history museum is a regular home mop. By sharpening it, you will make a terrible weapon.

Just imagine: you are on an electric bike, with a spear in hand, like Rhaegar Targaryen or the knight of Ivanhoe, riding into the sunset through the ruins of this world.
