A 16-year-old boy managed to stow away in the wheel well of a flight headed from California to Hawaii on Sunday—and then survived the 5-hour trip despite freezing temperatures, low pressures and little oxygen.

The world is full of dangers and you have to be prepared – especially when it comes to zombies. The Zombie Apocalypse Survival Cabinet will make sure that you stay alive long after all of your best buddies are slow-walking brain eaters.
It might be best to be among the dead, but if you are brave enough, this will keep you alive. This Wolfram cabinet comes full of all the stuff that you’ll need to survive and function; everything from food to camping supplies to medical supplies to tools and weapons.
You get over 170 items in the $14,500 kit (full inventory list here). The durable double steel-walled cabinet measures 43” (W) x 65” (H) x 18” (D) and should hold up to just about anything you can throw at at.
Kill ‘em dead whenever you see them and stay alive. Where there is life, there is hope. Stay safe my friends.

What are you looking at? Some trees, some leaves, a few branches and… a bird. You see, on top of that broken tree branch actually stands a completely still bird, the common potoo. It’s hiding in plain sight and will stay that way even if predators are deathly close to them.

For some of us, a couple of inches of snow makes for a lovely summer day. But for others who aren’t used to the white stuff

We’re more than half a century past 1960, when the Doomsday Clock ticked down to two minutes before midnight. Yet, despite the steady outpouring of movies and TV shows featuring rogue nukes and dirty bombs, fewer and fewer people actively worry about a nuclear bomb going off. That being said: Do you know where and when to take shelter if it does?

Ouch. That has got to hurt. Ice climber Mark R. was climbing up a mountain when he was sent plummeting down by a piece of falling ice that hit him. He then basically avalanches down the mountain side and hits every rock down the way. It’s like a scene from Game of Thrones but completely real. And even more insane because Mark R. survived.

A year after showing off Robert Kirkman’s Zombie Survival Elantra, and just months after their Veloster Zombie Survival Machine, Hyundai is at New York Comic Con, where they’re showing off the Hyundai Santa Fe Zombie Survival Machine.
This vehicle was selected from 82,500 vehicle concepts that were created using The Walking Dead Chop Shop app. The app allowed fans to create the vehicle they thought would be best to roam the zombie wasteland in. The winner was Anson Kuo’s modified Santa Fe, called the Santa Fleeeee, seen below:
It was brought to life with the help of Galpin Auto Sports. The vehicle has everything you would need to take on the horde: knife blades, an automatic crossbow, razor-wired windows, three machine guns, a samurai sword, aluminum armor and even a silencer for the muffler. If you are attending NYCC this week, you will be able to see the car in person and even get behind the wheel for photo ops.
It is at booth #542. Awesome. Zombies don’t stand a chance.

If you are worried about the inevitable zombie invasion – and who isn’t – you might want to check out this Chevy Silverado on display at the State Fair of Texas. This ‘Black Ops Concept’ is apocalypse ready. Chevy design manager Dave Ross calls it “a survival kit on four wheels.”
The Black Ops features a raised suspension and body armor to help it traverse the toughest terrain that the post-apocalyptic wasteland has to offer. In the bed is a zombie-proof Truck Vault storage unit. Inside of this is a solar power pack, gas masks, gloves, a military first aid kit, a folding shovel, and a rope. On top of the storage locker are a generator, fuel can, and food and water rations.
It has everything you need to survive hordes of zombies and keep going. I hope it becomes a reality before the undead show up.

RockS2V is working hard to build a name for itself when it comes to emergency survival gear. The company’s Provision coat includes a built-in life-saving toolkit if you find yourself stranded somewhere remote, and its new Substratum boots feature a secret compartment inside designed to stash an emergency fire starting kit.

You have to be prepared for disasters – whether it is a hurricane, a tornado, a zombie apocalypse, whatever. The end result could be that you could be without power. Forget food and water and blankets. You need to be ready to be able to play some classic Nintendo while you wait to be rescued.
Redditor robotairz has you covered. He has created a portable set-up that you can build yourself. This shock-proof yellow Pelican 1300 case is loaded with an SNES console, controllers, and games. It has everything two players need to keep themselves entertained for hours while civilization crumbles around them. It runs on batteries and even has a built in charger and LCD screen.
It cost about $425 to build, but being able to play Donkey Kong Country is priceless.
