invisibility cloak

Body armour for bites Crossbow for hunting Machete for defense Water purifier for water

This is assuming its not airborn and if it was respirator presuming im not imune to it already

Fire axe, german Shepard, first aid kit, crossbow

Body armor, jeep, night vision goggles and silenced hand gun.

Each of those are the hardest to obtain of the options except the jeep.

Start with the jeep and put on body armor. If it's night travel with lights off and use night vision goggles.

Everything else is stuff you can find later easily with a few unimportant exceptions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. With those I can survive long enough to easily get the rest.

Dog, first aid, axe, and water purifier.

The guns will depend entirely on ammo. Gasoline for the vehicles will go bad eventually, a diesel truck with 4 wheel drive would be better. The radio depends on other people also having radios. Everything else can either be easily found later or can be made given enough time.

Jeep, water purifier, first aid kit, katana. Wish I could take flashlight, but it's a 5th option on the list.

No reason to take guns since rounds will be gone quickly and you'll end up with a worthless piece of metal. Chainsaw is clunky and fuel-dependent. Fire axe is also clunky and actually not that good at chopping wood - not to mention you'll make a lot of sounds while doing so. Machete is bad on both fronts. Crossbow - almost perfect, but bolts tend to break too.

Jeep adds to mobility, which is very handy. Fuel-dependent, but then again, with such mobility you can reach some gasoline. Doubles as a place to stay in extreme situations, without losing mobility, rendering it able to escape emergencies.

Water purifier will allow you to move on without acute diarrhea

First aid kit is a must in literally every survival situation. You should be able to prevent infections and restore mobility as quickly as possible

Katana is too difficult to maintain, crossbow bolts can be fashioned by hand from found materials, first aid kit can be scavenged pretty easily. If this is starting gear, go for the stuff that is either rare or likely to be scavenged first, and that is easy for you to maintain by hand. Jeeps aren't rare, real body armor is. The machete is the go-to blade for many parts of the world for a reason. It is heavy enough to cleave small brush and limbs alike, sturdy enough that it isn't likely to break on you, and you can get a utility or survival version that has a saw on the back and other useful tools included in it. Only take the Jeep if you are proficient in maintaining it and know how to make biodiesel. If you have those skills, go for it. Your assessment is correct. If not, it is prioritizing short-term benefits over even medium-term. Even on a full tank, you have less than a day's travel in it. Then it becomes a hard-walled tent or tiny home, take your pick of feel-good terminology. Depending on your starting location, that half-day of travel may not be enough to get you safely away from population centers. If you are in any major US East Coast city, you are fucked. You can barely make it into the Appalachians on one tank, and certainly not remote enough to be safe. As you move further and further west, that becomes less and less of an issue. If you are in the SW, a Jeep becomes top tier pick because it lets you navigate offroad to somewhere truly remote and provides adequate hauling capacity for scavenged materials for setting up a secure base of operations.

Now that's a good assessment

Tho, I am personally not in the US at all :D

Jeep, AK, Purifier, First Aid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well at least the AK is reliable because you’ll need it when the Jeep breaks down.
