I have hundreds of hours swinging this, or one very like it. I'm very comfortable with it, and can fuck stuff up fast...

~$32 on Amazon

You can get it black. I like the orange cause it's easy to find in the woods.

While, it is true that it will take some force, simply planting your foot and leaning into it should provide enough resistance to "charge up your arm".

And, some lightweight chainmail would be near perfect, although, I think some BDU / ACU clothing would be better suited. A person, even a zombie, wouldn't be able to bite through the heavy cloth. It would hurt like a som'bitch, but it wouldn't be a bite. Chainmail, while breathable, would be fairly heavy and hard to come by. Plus, it doesn't have the 250 pockets my BDUs have.

A fireman's outfit would work in a pinch. Only thing is the strength of the zombies in walking dead is inconsistent. Many times even the women just push the zombies away, but then there was that time where the decrepit zombie tore Dale apart. Something like a leather jacket and pants should be fine.
 
This is the weapon I would carry along with a shotgun and a Barrett. Don't even have to aim at the head with a Barrett. One shot to the abdomen and he's toast. There's a YouTube video showing the effects of what happens to Taliban that get shot with a Barrett, but I won't post that here. It's just body parts all over.

You can take out terminators with a Barrett too. Just aim for the head.

$50 in gas so I could make it to the nearest base, then I would simply cut the lock off a lmtv (or any armored vehicle really). Then get to the most remote place I could.

Problem is a) the noise, and b) you are going to run out of ammo.
 
Say you want to stash something in your war chest for the ZA, budget ~$50. We all know guns have limited usefulness vs zombies, so what type of bladed or blunt weapon would you get to supplement your arsenal?

ex) Something like this is is only $30 shipped

Yes you can kill the zombies by giving him wrong directions using the compass.

Good luck with every single zombie in a 10 mile radius converging on your position.
 
best zombie weapon may be a thumper from Dune.


BTW those HF machetes need grip tape over the handles if you ever get a pair. Too slippery
