I’ll take a foldable solar panel, a tablet PC with its entire storage full of porn, and the dog.
Everything else I need I’ll trade in exchange for a half hour in my dog-guarded porn booth.Phew. For a second I was concerned for the dog. The internet is a dark place
Yeah, I was wondering why there was no peanut butter in the mix 🤣.
ಠ_ಠ
It’s…your dog!
You could instead have a solar panel, light laptop with lots of nudes, and a printer. Source out the ink and paper from office buildings and trade nudes for stuff.
For that, I’d have to go into office buildings regularly, and they were full of zombies even before the apocalypse.
Solar panel’s not on there.
NO PORN FOR YOU. OFF TO HORNY JAIL WITH YOU.
I know. So I take the dog and the Jeep x3, and sell the three Jeeps to some idiots while the gas still isn’t spoiled.

Modern jeeps require regular part swaps every few weeks
I’d swap the flashlight for the body armour - easier to find a flashlight out and about.
I’d argue you might need a flashlight to find a flashlight but most homes will at least have a small version that will suffice
I was thinking about the german shephard… regardless if it’s trained or not, it’s a liability, it might become a zombie too.
And I chose the AK-47 because I thought it came with at least 1 round of ammo 🤷.
I like the idea of everything is best-case. So a trained pup, a loaded gun with couple of boxes of spare ammo, a new jeep with a full tank, etc.
Zombie outbreak and owning a jeep? Now you got two problems!
Water purifier - clean water is essential
Fire Axe - for fire wood collection as well as wood based structures for shelter and defense. Also it is a decent weapon that takes relatively little skill to effectively wield.
German Shepard - loyal and lethal companionship, living thinking alarm bell, will instinctively assist in protection/attacking, could be trained to track game. Will gladly accept food scraps, the bones and flesh of my enemies, and pets as payment for services rendered.
Body armor - reduces risk of infection through scratches to body as well as mild protection against various weapons. Also an added insulative thermal layer for the cold. Body plate can be replaced with old thinkpads as needed
I’d argue that NVGs would be better than body armor, assuming that the batteries last. Being able to see at times when humans and zombies cant is extremely valuable. Nighttime is tough without working lights.
Modern nvgs aren’t battery powered the way we think any more. They last a while
The problem with NVG and all the battery operated stuff is that once it runs out its useless unless you have a means to replace them through looting replacable batteries or recharging lithiums with an offgrid power system and the electrical knowledge to make sure you dont cook them in case of a jerry rigged system. It might be really useful for a good couple hours of operation but after that it becomes dead weight you spend calories or fuel hauling around with the faint hope of maybe being able to recharge it again sometime in the future
Realistically, everything is finite use if you can’t maintain it. The more relevant approach is what kind of utility do you get during that thing’s lifetime, and does it outweigh the other options. NVGs, while not my choice, do provide a lot of utility, and last a fairly long time. They also don’t run the risk of full-on breaking, just running dry, meaning that they can be kept around if you think you may find batteries.

Never understood that about the walking dead. Gasoline stops being vital after 3-6 months, so years into the apocalypse and everyone’s driving cars, and Daryl has that sweet frankenbike. What are those things running on?
LOL, imagine thinking a motorcycle or jeep would do you any damn good (especially after the gas you can siphon from abandoned cars has gone bad), when what you really need is a bicycle. Bikepackers and touring cyclists will be the kings of the apocalypse.
The Jeep will break down before running out of gas anyways

The earlier in the apocalypse, the more panicking humans running around, so you’re absolutely correct there. Unfortunately, depending on where you live and how early you realize what’s happening, the roads might be utterly jammed with no hope of getting away from population centers. The bike would be less of a tank, but you’ll almost certainly make it farther - but is that any good? Unless you’re confident in your ability to go full bear grylls, it might be best to just hunker down and make as little noise as possible for that initial pandemonium.
I’d probably stay clear of basically anywhere that you’d wanna go in an apocalypse for those 72 hours, because everybody else has the same idea. Find somewhere with a second story, block or preferably destroy the staircase, and stay as quiet as possible while scavenging what you can.
I’d still say the Jeep is better shelter than the tent, though not as portable.
There are diesel Kawasaki KLR motorcycles that will run on literally anything, not that they’re very fast but they would at least preserve your stamina for when you need it.
They’re also extremely robust and simple to repair.
Assuming best case scenario (a new jeep is shat into my driveway with a full tank of gas) I think the jeep is a MASSIVE boon. It increases movement ability and hauling capacity, and can be used to clear many obstacles you’d otherwise have to go around. Is its life finite? Yes, but it’ll give you that leg up at the start of the situation that may very well set you up for success long term.
and can be used to clear many obstacles you’d otherwise have to go around.
I’m having trouble imagining any obstacle a Jeep could clear that a mountain bike couldn’t, but no trouble at all imagining the opposite.
Anything blocking paths. Can’t move broken vehicles, downed trees, etc with a bike. Sure a bike can go around, but with a jeep, I can go through, and have space to haul a bike back.
Almost nobody picks the katana. Even the people who pick it mocking the sword!
I can’t really blame them because they didn’t give you the option to pick the complete set for the katana to shine. If you use it with fedora you can teleport behind the zombies and kill them!
Nobody knows that the katana has this hidden skill bonus if you use it with fedora because this hidden mechanic only passed to the few chosen people in the secret society hidden under the house that people like to call “the basement”
I considered the katana since they’re great for cutting exposed areas but honestly I’d rather just sharpen a long stick
If we’re going on “brain damage to kill” rules you’re going to need to clean sweep their head off or find a way to the brain. As cool as it is, that’s a big ask for something designed for one swift body shot. I’d look for the spear since it’s the most effective peasant weapon and be real, we’re all about peasant skilled.
Man, the katana would be a great pick if there wasn’t two better melee options that’ll outlast the katana and offer more utility.
Four chain saws
come at me bro
Two for the hands and one for the head?
One for both heads
4 German shepards for having sex with (i am a white woman from the American south)
I was going to say 4 German shepherds for more innocent reasons, but now my answer would be overshadowed be yours
At least someone gets fucked before getting fucked
- Armor, provided it comes with a helmet & is bite-/scratch-resistant
- Doggo, because sensing danger is important & loneliness would almost be a bigger killer than zombies,
- Machete, as a tool & method of defense
- Water purifier, provided it doesn’t require an outlet of some kind
Is the German Shepard a rescue? Anyway that and the camcorder. I’m making cute dog videos
Camera, motorcycle, ak-47, radio
I call this loadout “twitch streamer of the apocalypse”
I read Max Brook’s “Zombie Survival Guide” and “World War Z”. The choice is very clear for me. Armor, suppressed pistol, machete, purifier.
