Bear Grylls Survival Series Parang

Story by John Moore

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Weapon

Hey there zombie survivors!. This is our first ever product review. Today, we’re reviewing the Bear Grylls Survival Series Parang. A parang is a type of machete, and this carbon-steel beauty is made by Gerber. It retails for about $30 and is a nice tool for lopping off undead heads, or clearing brush.

In the video I use it to hack my frustrations out on a rather large tree-branch.

I like this tool a lot – and you can’t really beat the price. It’s well-balanced, and it’s full-tang construction means that the handle won’t break when it hits a zombie skull. The rubber grip is good for slip protection, but the canvas sheath leaves a little to be desired.

The verdict: a good melee weapon and solid tool for when the Z-SHTF.
