Gear breakdowns
Foam blasters, LARP props, packs and pouches, reviewed after field use. We note spring wear, magazine fit, and how gear behaves in coastal humidity versus dry Highveld dust.
What we actually do for readers
Getzombys runs on a small editorial team and a wider circle of contributors who test gear in real conditions rather than reading spec sheets. Below is the working menu: the formats we publish, who they suit, and where each one stops being useful.
If you are new, the weekend kit guide is the sensible entry point. If you already carry a pack, the regional checklists and fiction archive will give you more to argue about in the comments.

Bug-out bag checklists
Separate lists for plateau winters and coastal routes. Printable, with weight notes and the items most people overpack. Not a shopping list, more a starting argument.
Weekly fiction serial
Short episodes set in Johannesburg, Durban and the Karoo. New instalments run weekly, and comment threads pick apart the endings. Reader-submitted outbreak scenarios appear between arcs.
Film and game retrospectives
Longer pieces on the genre's back catalogue, with an eye on how South African settings get used or ignored. Useful if you want context before writing your own scenario.
Printable supply lists
Free downloads for weekend kits and longer trips. Plain layouts, no branding clutter, sized to fit a standard folder. Update them as your loadout changes.
Reader submissions
Send an outbreak scenario, a field note, or a correction to a review. We edit lightly and credit contributors. Fiction submissions open between serial arcs.
