        @DougNg:

        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.

        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 know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          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

            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.

                                    Intellectually I know that there are "gun people", and reading around I see that there are quite a few on the forum, but I've just never been one, so I still find it surprising.

                                    But, back to the task at hand, it seems that Andreas1965 would be quite prepared for whatever the world throws at him in an apocalypse scenario.
