        Not that you'd notice (yes, of course we have soap…..and dental care).

          Like soap would be important in the zombie apocalypse.  Last place I want the walking dead to find me is naked and in a shower stall.

            Oh, and I don't know what else I'd carry, but I'd follow Will Smith's lead from I Am Legend, and wear my Palladium boots.  They're super durable and, importantly, lightweight.

            After all, the first rule of Zombieland is Cardio.

              I also tend to stay away from cotton clothes if I'm going to be out in the field for the long term.
              …
              I have a few pairs of BDUs lying around here but I can't tell you the brand. They're also probably from TAD

              Do you have non-cotton BDUs? There's generally at least some cotton in all the ones I'm familiar with.

              Think it, be it.

                    From the way they feel, I'm guessing it's some sort of blend. I honestly don't know where I left them. I'm hoping that if there's a zombie apocalypse I'll have time to find them

                      I actually keep a basic medical kit in my car at all times, along with a locking knife, a flashlight and duct tape. In the winter, there are base layers for Jody and I, as well as a jacket and boots for the dog.

                      While a zombie apocalypse is highly unlikely, I like to be prepared if shit happens and I need to walk home from work (25 miles). I was smart enough to stay home that day, but check out the events in the DC Metro area during "Snowpocalypse"

                        This is the water bottle I was talking about

                        http://www.amazon.com/Vapur-Eclipse-Water-Bottle-1-Liter/dp/B00BI9AM1O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1395533151&sr=8-5&keywords=vapur

                        I use it all the time in non apocalyptic situations. Also, if it springs a leak when I need it…duct tape...see, there's a method to my madness

                          Yeah Doug, I'm guessing poly-cotton.

                          I used to rock 100& cotton rip stop BDUs, loved them.

                          Think it, be it.

                                  Then I'd tie two 60 lbs rocks to my feet and plunge myself in the North Sea.

                                          Instead of the assault rifle maybe a carbine.

                                          Hatchet,  crowbar and knifes to take out the undead without raising attention.

                                          All stuffed into a Swiss army backpack.

                                          All inspired by "zombie survival guide"
