Best gear..?

I've seen plenty of best weapon and best place to go threads, but not one with gear. I mean stuff like, tools, armor, clothes, shoes, etc. Make sure its practical though, items you can get ahold of. Hell, even stuff you can make yourself!

Currently, I have a paintball mask equipped with an LED tactical flashlight, and a breathing filter to avoid getting debris in my mouth.

I prefer to wear microfiber urban camo thats not too tight, but fits close. Durable black Nike crosstrainers, carbonfiber impact riding armor, and a black resin-fiber backpack.

Tools I would carry-
A knife with a serrated edge.
A small prybar.
A lockpick kit.
A lighter and matches.
A whetstone.
Plyers.
A medical kit.
Several Mp3 players with single portable speakers.

mp3 isnt gonn do anthing for ya unless your gonna strangle the fuckers with speaker wire. i would say some kind of camo perferably one that will blend with your surroundings a good pair of hiking shoes/ bboots something like a machette and a couple guns some kind of med kit and something to pry boards or doors with. leather would be your best choice for armor

Yes I acutally have carried this around in a tactical vest for the day(minus weapons because jail isn't fun). I have room for it all. My father was in the military and he still has his old army stuff that fits. The equipment is new.

To stop blood splatter just use a paintball mask or something gas masks suck they make it hard to breath and see.

I partially disagree with your statement about leather.
Can you bite through a leather jacket or a leather glove?
It will also turn a slash and depending on the leather perhaps a stab.

While I agree with you about "real" body armor it is going to be much harder to find than a leather jacket and a pair of gloves.

A decent set of biker gear clothes will do you well if you are struggling. It's mostly kevlar anyway.

Treated leather was hard and inflexable, not the type used in jackets or clothing.

Zombies may be predators, but they have the same jaw power and set of teeth as any man. I don't know about you, but I can't bite through a peice of leather without chewing on it for an hour.

You can break boes through it though. The human jaw is very strong, you have an inbuilt mechanism to stop you from breaking your own jaw.....

I would also like to add that our strength is limited by the introduction of lactic acid to the muscle tissue which causes the musculature to fatigue and become painful. Zeds likely have no such system and therefore will hold on until such time as they are forced to let go. I don't know about you, but even through leather you will feel those teeth and the action of forcing a zed off might present enough sawing action to cut through.

Leather, especially biker leather, is a good first line defence if you are not met by a horde but I wouldn't go wading in expecting to be teeth proof.

Thats exactly what my intention for the Mp3's were.
