Rot at home: You can help Kickstart this zombie-proof cabin

this kickstarter wants to make a zombie proof cabin tiger shed kickstarer
The Center for Disease Control has been releasing zombie-preparedness information for several years now. It started as a joke, but it turns out getting supplies together in anticipation of a brain-eating horde of supernatural creatures is pretty good preparation for more likely natural disasters, as well.

Some people want to go beyond getting together a go-bag or stocking their homes with food, water, and supplies. They want to actually zombie-proof their houses. This Kickstarter from Tiger Sheds and Zombie Infection should appeal to these survivalists.

The shed-making company and the creator of zombie-fighting simulations have teamed up to create a “zombie fortification cabin.” The “custom-designed, high-spec” log cabin will “have everything you need to protect yourself and stay safe in the event of a zombie takeover” and will be located in either an abandoned factory or in Sherwood Forest. Yes, that Sherwood Forest, in England. You could soon fight off the zombie of Robin Hood, if either Robin Hood or zombies were real.

The cabin will be sort of an amusement park meets survival training. Participants will be given only a flashlight and will have to outsmart a group of zombies in pitch darkness. For those willing to spend more cash, they can spend an entire weekend battling the undead. To accommodate this kind of experience, the Kickstarter is raising money to outfit the cabin with a kitchen, bathroom, and Xbox, as well as reinforced slit windows, barbed wire, and weaponry.

Tiger Shed Zombie Proof Cabin KickstarterIf you want to take part in the launch next October, it’ll cost about $307 for a pair of tickets. You can also pay $92 for a preview of the cabin.

This is not Tiger Shed’s first experience with zombie-proofing. It also makes a $108,000 cabin you can buy and customize for your own personal protection. It comes with a 10-year zombie-proof guarantee. You gotta wonder what they’re expecting to happen in 2026.

5 home robots you can buy now that are similar to the Amazon Astro
Astro Robot lifestyle image.

The recent emergence of the Amazon Astro has renewed discussion about the utility of household robots. For some people, the Astro may have been the first home robot they had heard of, but it's not even close to the only option. There are numerous "home" robots on the market, but they don't all have the same functionality as Astro. On the other hand, a lot of these robots are significantly less expensive than Astro.

Whether it's to keep an eye out on your pets while you're away, or a robot that will help with teaching kids, you don't have to wait to for the Amazon Astro to be released to have a useful home robot.

Why you need to buy this gigantic portable home battery now
why you need to buy this gigantic portable home battery now ecoflow delta pro feature

Typically, when you're thinking about powering your home sans the grid, you consider using a generator -- whether electric or gas -- like those you might find in some of the best generator deals. You might also use a solar or renewable energy system, but they come with limited support unless you have a backup battery or power delivery network. That's where the EcoFlow DELTA Pro portable home battery comes into play.

When it releases, it will be the largest capacity battery the company has launched to date, with a 3.6kWh to 25kWh range, which is enough to supply an entire family's energy needs for emergency use for up to a week. Fascinating, right? What's more, you can take advantage of an early-release discount if you want one. You can grab it for $2,999, which is $600 off -- it will retail for $3,599.
What makes the EcoFlow DELTA Pro so interesting?
It's a challenge to live without power, even if you're off the grid, in a remote location, or spending time at a campsite. You'll still want energy for lights, maybe cooking gear, your mobile devices, and much more. The same is true for a home without power during a major outage or natural disaster, where you may need to power air conditioning and major appliances. The EcoFlow DELTA Pro can help you weather the storm because it's a full-featured and smart portable power station.
