Zombie Safe Zone Maps

When they strike, the zombies will go for the masses. So those of us living in major US cities have 2 choices: be afraid; or be prepared. Since Ryan McArthur of Design Different, unlike the evening news, isn't into fear mongering he's created this series of Zombie Safe Zone Maps to help us get the F out of their warpath as soon as the Zompocalypse begins.
McArthur notes that to survive a zombie invasion "you need to find a safe zone, somewhere where there's a natural abundance of water, fish and forestry." New York City. Atlanta. Dallas. Chicago. Suddenly terrible (or even more terrible, depending on your perspective) places to be. Zombie Safe Zone Maps mark the fastest route to the nearest and safest place you can go when the time comes to escape your city and the walking dead that have descended upon it. McArthur's posters detail Safe Zones in states with the most popular cities prone to a zombie outbreak, a series of 9 in all. Each map establishes a From and To point, plus the most expedient path connecting them. At the bottom of the prints you'll also find explicit directions, distance, travel time, and additional information about the Safe Zone, such as water type and food resources.
If your city isn't included in the existing Design Different collection, McArthur will also make you a custom Zombie Safe Zone Map.
Maps are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 8" x 10" to 13" x 19". They also come in the buyer's choice of 9 different colors. All prints include a 1/4" white border and are printed on heavy weight 240 gsm archival matte paper.
Zombe Safe Zone Maps are a top Dude Gift for a Geek pick.
