Vehicles you need for a zombie apocalypse – all from GovPlanet

If recent popular shows like Last of Us or Walking Dead have taught us anything, it’s that you need a durable, versatile vehicle in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Something that can tackle all kinds of off-road terrain, provide shelter if possible, and most importantly – outrun the advancements of a stiff-limbed undead mutant.

At GovPlanet, the military surplus arm of Ritchie Bros., you’ll find everything you need to survive an End of Days-like environment. From tactical vehicles to field gear, gen sets, boats, hummers, buses, and way, way more.

We’ve put our scopes on a few highlights that would come in handy if we woke up tomorrow and it was the Dawn of the Dead.

If we presume the roads are cluttered with abandoned vehicles, you’ll need something like the Polaris Side by Side. It’s built tough; ready for when it’s time to hit the backroads and find that creepy, abandoned cabin that will you inevitably flee from during a zombie attack.

1992 BMY M934A2 Custom Built 5 Ton 6×6 Cargo Truck
