RE: Personal Protection
I wear PPE 10hrs a day everyday. Bump cap, gloves, eye protection, composite toed boots or trainers (weather dependant) The only thing I'd add PSHTF would be my MTB body armour. It consists of combined knee/shin and elbow/forearm pads which are lightweight, breathable and don't restrict movement or I couldn't cycle in them. They go under your normal gear so you don't stand out either. If someone takes a swing at you with a golf club/bat/4x2 the forearm guards really help as your natural human reaction is to put up your arms in defence.(Krav Maga instructor liked them too) If you're going to wear a base layer too (who doesn't?) why not make sure it's nomex so when the zombie hoard burn your house down you can keep your cool whilst picking them off.
