Emergency Packages

My suggestions for emergency packages for various contingencies.

ZOMBIE ASSAULT

Clothing - Leather jack, zipped up. Boots. Kneepads, optional. flexible pants with lots of pockets - the problem is you want flexibility, but also tight fit. flexibility is probably more important.

On person - carrying crowbar. machete and pistol on hips.

In pack - standard - collapsable shovel, rations, matches, lighter, iodine pills, medicine and first aid, seeds might be useful and they're always low space. Rifle slung over shoulder.

APOCALPYSE - breakdown of government/society

soft, comfortable jacket, flexible pants, comfortable shoes.

Carrying walking stick - needs to be strong, can be used as weapon/stick. pistol on one hip, bag of food (jerky, grain, similar). machete somewhere.

Pack - standard, with more seeds and maybe a few books (used as currency?)

it would be useful, but there are several problems.

Firstly, it faces the problems of all guns. It can jam and runs out of ammo.

Secondly, it's only really useful at close range, so you'll have to wait for the zombies to be close to use it.

Thirdly, it's not a guaranteed kill, particularly against more than one zombie. sure, it'll fuck their centers of mass up but good, but you need to get them in the head.

That said, it's not like a shotgun is ever going to HARM you...
