Apocalypse Hal - Seed bombs

Seed bombs have been used for years by guerrilla gardeners to illegally beautify barren cities. Just throw a few around when no one is looking and wait for the flowers to grow.

Apart from being great for lazy gardeners, these will also be useful when the zombies take over. After all, going out and planting a couple of rows of veggies isn't going to be easy when there are zombies on the prowl. So avoid them by using seed bombs to create instant gardens you can harvest later.

And what better to use than novelty brain shaped ice cube trays!

Bite of more leafy greens than you can chew.

Apocalypse Hal - Office War!

The last few weeks have been a real pain at work. Having a zombie horde run riot through the office would have been a nice distraction. After all, everyone wants to be a hero!

When I realised that those paper guillotines could be used as machetes, I quickly checked out the guillotine at work. Of course we have some health and safety approved version which is totally useless in the event of zombies. But the handle on the binding machine looks good.


If you did not pick up on the post-modernism reference in the design, shame on you. It's a parody of the Army of Darkness movie poster. A cult classic. Not that I am the first to do this, I found a Charlie Brown and Simpsons version of this poster online and there are bound to be more.

Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag

Now any fair dinkum prepper will have a bug out bag. In fact they probably have a few various survival kits and bags tucked around the place. Just in case.

There are lots of photos, blogs and videos out there about what to put in a bag. But some seem like you can feed and equip a small nation with them. Lugging that much stuff seems painful and it will be worse if zombies are chasing you. So what should put in your bag and what should you leave out?

Well Creek Stewart has the answers!

I downloaded a Kindle version of his book for about $10 and it was definitely worth it. Stewart provides very simple and practical advice on what you need. He runs survival courses and his experience shows. He makes it clear having a bug out bag will only give you a small advantage. You need to have the skills. Hence he suggests you take a first aid course, practice lighting fires and building shelters. There are tips on regularly reviewing your bag and developing your overall "bug out strategy". There are a good number of photos too.

On the downside it is an American book so the equipment is not necessarily easy to get here in Australia. It is also aimed at wilderness survival and there is little about what you may need to stay alive in an urban environment. Sadly zombies are not discussed.  

Still it is an excellent book and will certainly be guiding the development of my bag.

Shopping in Montreal for Bunnies, Zombies and Frocks!

Hi Everyone, Mr Vitamin G reporting to you live from Montreal!  For my second post abroad, I have decided to share with you my finds during some extensive shopping activity.

Last week the Canadian’s really proved to me that they take their zombies seriously.  This was proven by the fact that I was loading up on zombie goodies within 1 hour of landing in the country.  Not to mention that their parliament promised that Canada will never become a safe haven for zombies!

Like any good tourist and armed with my BZF Credit Card (I wish lol) I hungrily proceeded to shop as though it was my last splurge.  I would beat my way through any surging crowd, trample upon those who would trample me and outlast any crying toddler who did not get their Cinnabon fix like mummy promised!

First off we made our way to West Elm which is an upmarket furniture and home wares store, my super talented sister in-law is the Visual Director there and she assured me that there were some treasures to be found, she was not wrong about that!

St Catherines Street is in the heart of downtown Montreal and is an awesome location for the most ravenous shopper.  I made a pit stop at a popular bookstore Chapters and found a very entertaining book called Zombies, original title I know, but the book delivers some really cool insights into the Voodoo Zombie, ‘Real’ Zombies and the Horror Zombie!  It’s actually a fun read and a good guide for anyone wanting to expand their zombie history knowledge.

Fighting my way through the hoards, I passed HMV which is not normally a place I would check for zombie paraphernalia but I managed to find the mother of all lamps.....

To be frank with you all, I did not spend too much time foraging for a frock (much to Miss K's dismay I'm sure), but I have adorned such a garment along with Mr Rimsky for a work charity fundraiser once, that counts right??

Stay tuned for my final report from this side of the hemisphere next week as I reveal an astonishing secret about this city that nobody saw coming!

Bite you later
