Honestly, hide/leather armor and a forge with all the tools and a lot of metal (with the forge I can make swords, knives etc. As needed), I'd probably make several katana, a zwiehander or two, and... I don't really know what else.

Why leather?
-
Zombies can't bite through it despite being a bit stiff and hot sometimes, a suit of metal even 1/4 inch thick would be too cumbersome and impractical.
-
Why not just wear a cloth gambeson? It's lighter, easier to fix, easier to make.
-
That may be but zombies can still bite through it a heck of a lot easier than they can leather.

I dunno about that. A cloth gambeson can withstand a blade just as well as leather, depending on the thickness and how many layers there are. Have you tried biting through a jacket? I haven't, but I doubt it's very easy.
