1. Steal toe boots to make kicking in heads more easier.
2. Comfortable Jeans in case you get mobbed you can run away.
3. Sun glasses to keep the zombie blood out of your eyes.
4. Sledge hammer to crack skulls and get out of dead ends.

Crowbar / Skull crusher

Dry food goods / Water

Primary Weapon / 300 rounds of ammo Buck shot is lighter. Slug Heavier but more knock down power

Side arm 45 cal. 150 rounds of ammo. These are the essentials for the Warrior on foot. Maximum Undead damage if utilized properly. And minimal burden

Jeans, under amour , leather jacket cut off the sleeves, take the leather, soak it, tie it tight to your body, do that with another jacket and then another

the rebels in Grenada did this when we headed over, they have the capability of stopping a .45 and weight about 1/2 the weight of real bohttp://www.lostzombies.com/forum/topics/what-is-your-ideal-gear-fordy armor, watering it down makes it tighter, so movement becomes a little less which is why you cut the sleeves so you can still keep going

swat issue boots steel toed by default, excellent tread and gripping power

SAP hat and gloves, keep the sun out of my eyes, its also designed so the top of it is the same as a billy club, SAP gloves are the same thing only in gloves, usually reinforced with kevlar (http://budk.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_03+SHSC)

crowbar, small light, solid steel
hatchet, again, small and light, solid, good chopping power
impact baton
good full metal survival knife
a Kukri machete
a Kubaton (http://budk.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_15+BK1418) they make metal ones
and a cold steel escrima stick (http://budk.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_31+CS91E)

prefer most my weapons from Cold Steel, i have had a knife for over a year now hasnt needed sharpening once, and i have used it for a lot of things

the emphasis though on small and light, easy to carry, after that a small military surplus ruck sac with various things for bedding, food, water purification, zippo, nails, and any other small nicknack i might find and keep with me, such as the zombie survival guide

shark suit granted your gonna sweat but if a shark cant bite through it chances are a zed cant either
steal toed boots
googles and facemask

small steel crowbar
hatchet
hunting or survival knife
any high quality machete
Crossbow and arrows
2X Taurus Millenium pro series pt111 w/ double action trigger pistols 2 clips for each
dried and canned foods
purified water and purification kit
Lighter and fluid

the shark suit isnt that heavy but makes you sweat like a beast overall you can move well and fast when needed and if a zed happens to bit your arm chances are youll be fine, however this offers little protection from stray bullets sot be sure you can move it if shots are fired near you

I took a ball bat beating while wearing motorcycle gear under my coat and pants. It was the hard plastic kind. I was unscratched (were covered) and used the arm guards to retaliate.
If you can't break it with a bat i'm sure you can't bite through it. It's light weight, and quiet.
