We are a blog, not a shop
Getzombys publishes gear breakdowns, checklists and fiction. We do not stock blasters, ship bug-out bags or hold inventory. If a review names a specific item, that is a field note, not an order form.
This page is the map for the rest of Getzombys. If you are stuck on a bug-out bag layout, hunting down a review, or trying to find the next episode of a serial, the sections below point you to the right corner of the site. Start with the part that matches your question, and work outward from there.
If you are new here, start with the answer that matches your situation. Most of these come up in comment threads or by email, and the replies below are the short versions we keep repeating.
Begin with a weekend kit rather than a full bug-out bag. Water, a warm layer, a headlamp, basic first aid and a way to make coffee will teach you more in two nights than a year of reading lists. Our beginner walkthrough on the blog covers the order to buy things in.
Yes, where we can. We test foam blasters, LARP props and camping gear that you can actually find in South African shops or order without a two-month wait. When something is only available overseas, we say so and note the closest local alternative.
Absolutely. Readers send us outbreak scenarios, short fiction and field reports from airsoft weekends. Send a draft to info@getzombys.com and we will read it. If it fits the serial or the scenario archive, we will get back to you with edits.
They are. Print them, mark them up, hand them to your group. We only ask that you do not resell them or strip the source line. If you adapt a list for coastal or Karoo conditions, tell us what you changed.
Email us or use the details on the contact page. Include the page name and what you expected to see. We fix broken downloads and dead links first, since those block readers the most.
Still unsure where to go next? The contact page lists the fastest way to reach us, and our privacy policy explains what happens to anything you send in.
A few clarifications so nobody wastes a weekend waiting on the wrong answer. These apply to every request that reaches us through the Assistance page.
Getzombys publishes gear breakdowns, checklists and fiction. We do not stock blasters, ship bug-out bags or hold inventory. If a review names a specific item, that is a field note, not an order form.
Our checklists are written for Highveld cold snaps, coastal humidity and Karoo dust. What works in a Gauteng winter may rust in a Durban summer. Treat every list as a starting point, then adjust for your own route and climate.
The serials set in Johannesburg, Durban and the Karoo are stories. They are not evacuation plans, threat forecasts or instructions for a real emergency. Please do not read an episode as a safety guide.
Outbreak scenarios sent in by readers may be trimmed for length, clarity or language before they appear. We credit the author unless you ask us not to. We cannot promise a publish date.
Any field test we describe assumes eye protection, muzzle discipline and permission to use the land. We do not endorse playing on public trails, private property without consent, or anywhere hikers and livestock share the ground.
Our supply checklists are meant to be printed, scribbled on and handed around. Copy them for a club, a scout group or a weekend crew. Just do not resell them or strip the source line.
If your question is about a broken link, a correction to a review or a comment thread that went sideways, write to info@getzombys.com and mention the page title. It saves a round of back-and-forth.
