Any one else have any other ideas as to what kinds of gear would be useful out there? I specifically think there is a GPS tracker in their bags. We know from personal experience that GPS is still up and running. I think it's definitely plausible she has some kind of laptop set up that can track Saul and Victor's movements.

I think that sh emay have alot of goodies in their, all good for saul and vicky IDK

Here are my serious thoughts about Ground Zero.

In Chapter 7 part 3 Michael makes homemade chloroform and uses it to knock out some Biters so they could be tagged with locators. The Chloroform did not work as well as it was suppose to but did work for a short time. This implies to me that the zombies breath to a certain degree. If this is the case then it stands to reason that if the air at Ground Zero is so bad then there also should not be very few if any zombies there since they could not breath there either.

To recap: bad air at ground zero makes me think that there may not be any zombies there.

Bad thought: Maybe there is another kind of special zombie we have not meet yet that just lives at ground zero. Scary thought!

Regarding Tanya's freak-out:
I was actually thinking she was infected a couple parts back when she mentioned being cold and was acting a little weird and to me the freak-out possibly confirms it.
When Michael first meets her, he mentions the bandage and she passes it off as nothing. Perhaps she was bitten or scratched by the slow-turner. Then she's drug off by "Randy" she does get scratches on her back. Were they zombie scratches or road-rash? Then the somewhat erratic behavior and coldness threw up a red flag and finally the freak-out, Bingo.
Also, if she was infected at the colony, maybe she was treating herself with the antibiotics that she gave Saul. Without the antibiotics, the infection slowly started taking over. What mom wouldn't risk her own life to save her son?

This mask does not allow the "pinching" of nose to facilitate pressure equilization and if the mouth is in the same space as the nose, the mask will fogg up. I can go into more detail if anyone is interested.

There are full face scuba masks, but I believe you are correct, the one pictured isn't for scuba. It looks more like something a firefighter would wear. Also, it's not always necessary to "pinch" the nose to equalize pressure, but fogging would certainly be a problem.

-Why would anyone not think that Pinstripes wasn't a zombie? Not even that, after knowing that zombies 'drop like rocks' when shot in the head, why not address every kill on any person as a head shot? A shot to the chest... would it have stopped a normal zombie? I think they just got sloppy.

My theory is Pinstripes/Ink is so bat-shit crazy that not only does he think he's a zombie, but he is also convincing enough to fool the other zombies.
Head shots aren't as easy to make as body shots.

KC established in the past that body shots will take out zed like any normal person. except behemoths, which apparently can take a .50 BMG to the chest.

Maybe it like I'm Legend. Where some of the vampire infected were still living and other were dead. That could account for the breathing.

I think we've seen regular old zombies take shots to the chest and survive it. I know we've seen traumatic and dramatic shots to the chest (see: Jumper asploding from a shot gun blast) take them out. But I'm pretty sure single shots to the chest are survivable for them.
