The Pocket Sized Zombie Survival Kit!

The Pocket Sized Zombie Survival Kit!
It's coming. Someday soon, it will happen. The government and media have hushed up the outbreaks, but word has still leaked out. We've heard whispers about strange plagues, random bite attacks, and the restless dead. There have been a few incidents in isolated rural areas, easily contained. A handful of urban incidents, with all of the eye witnesses mysteriously vanished. You have certainly heard about the terrorist attack in a small town in Arizona, where the terrorists detonated a nuclear bomb, but did you know this bomb was actually launched by an Air Force bomber? What could be so dangerous that the government would destroy thousands of it's own citizens as collateral damage?

Some of us have our eyes and ears open to the truth. We know what's really going on, and we know that someday soon, it will come. It has many names. Doomsday. Armageddon. Z-Day. The Zombie Apocalypse.

Are you prepared?

Not everyone has the time and resources to buy a mountaintop fortress stocked with three years worth of canned goods. In this instructable, I will show you how to assemble a small kit that can be carried with you at all times, and make you better prepared to survive the inevitable Zombie War.

***UPDATE 5/4/10:  As of now, if you post a picture of yourself done up in zombie garb and makeup in the comments section, I'll send you a DIY patch!  Make sure you're holding something with your user name on it, so I know it's really you!***

Step 1Gather items

Gather items
Here is the list of items you will need for your Zombie Survival kit:

1 Small multitool
1 Roll of dental floss
3 Sewing needles
1 Mini-Bic Lighter
30 Ibuprofen
14 Multivitamins
1 Tube antibiotic ointment
3 Firecrackers
9 1.5v button cells
12 Inches of sturdy copper wire
1 White Superbright LED
10 Caffeine pills
1 Cyanide capsule
1 List of instructions - more on this later

Put everything except the multitool in an altoids tin. It will just barely close, so tape it up with duct tape to finish the job. The multitool stays out of the tin, since you will certainly find it useful between now and Z-Day.

Its a good idea to keep the pills separate, but you can get small craft baggies at most dollar stores (or even at craft stores) that will at least be much more reusable than foil! Besides, its more likely to be waterproof and you can reseal it..... If you're in a hurry, a pain pill could be a cyanide pill that escaped its foil bindings.... heaven help you, it may make the pain go away but its not what you intended when you scream MAKE IT STOP!

Just my two cents... Would be an epic gift for zombie enthusiasts i know.
5 Stars.

PS...... with plastic baggies, it would save space and more.... shapeable? you can make it conform easier....

I know this is really late to the party, but, it really depends where you live and who owns the pharmacy/truck stop.

For example, here in Canada they're legal and all that, usually beside the vitamins and what not, but the pharmacy beside my house refuses to carry them because the "head pharmacist" thinks they're too dangerous...but I've gotten them in plenty of other pharmacies of the same name.

cool! but what a boute a small hand gun?
Jan 1, 2012. 10:58 AMNfulkman says:
I realize this is really pushing the "pocket-sized" idea of the whole kit, but it's an invaluable resource. A self powered hand crank flashlight radio. I know you took into account a need for light and it would damn near fill your whole pocket, but it is the first thing on the list for my zombie survival guide

Reanimating someone can be a dream at first....... UNTIL YOU'VE MADE A ZOMBIE! (their soul should be in heaven)
Jun 28, 2011. 12:02 PMDannytheGreat says:

Dec 23, 2011. 3:34 AM16kuokhc1 says:
making sure after a bite, you or someone else dosen't turn into a zombie (but just dies because zombies ALTER life, not CREATES life. Only G-D can do that.)

Interestingly enough, caffeine also magnifies the effects of analgesics and anesthetics... so it can also help with pain meds :3

I don't understand what the fascination is with zombies, but it could be because I'm a woman, and maybe this is a man thing. That said, this was very entertaining and thought-provoking. I am going to make a survival kit and send it to a young nephew of mine, ASAP. I think he'll like it...

This Instructable made my day :)

my house is as zombie-safe as it gets
- two fallback-possibilities
- almost no people around
-plenty of food in the forrests
- and if the theory with frozen zombies in winter works out, i have almost 5 months in peace while walking outside and smashing zombie heads ;P
*sounds almost romantic*

there is one essential tip missing in the instruction-sheet:
destruction of stairs if there`s a second floor - thats in my opinion the most important step for securing.

great instructable :)
