Apocalypse Outfits
-
Maxi pads and tampons are handy if you get shot/stabbed. Don't ask me how I know this
Soap
A firesteel
A plastic flask is lighter than a metal one. We have one that's essentially a thick plastic bag that folds up that we use for the dogs water when we go to the park
Skip the case knife and just stick with the Swiss Army Knife. Bring a small sheet of sandpaper to keep your tools sharp. Since you don't have any real weapons, maintain the tools you can use to make real weapons

I also tend to stay away from cotton clothes if I'm going to be out in the field for the long term. It weighs a ton when it gets wet, and takes forever to dry when compared to synthetics. The first thing I would grab would be my Polartec fleece from Tadgear. I have a few pairs of BDUs lying around here but I can't tell you the brand. They're also probably from TAD
Shelf stable food is another thing I would place a lot of value into. I have a few MREs lying around here, and some dry biscuits. I used to have some deer jerky but I ate it all during football season. All things I would place more value in than batteries. Not only can I use it to feed myself, but use it to trap animals/people I need something from, but it can be used for bartering

I knew you'd embrace this Doug
Unfortunately you're listing things I do not have in my house, so for this scenario they're as much use to me as a dolphin. My lack of "real" weapons is made up for by my lack of natural predators, I live in middle England where our greatest fear is 9 stone teenagers driving tiny cars with ludicrous attachments too fast in second gear.
Top tip on the tampons though, they will be in my shopping cart.

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.

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
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.
-
when you say you can pick up food and drink along the way does that inclede the wine dept at waitrose or not
-
No, only fruit juice and canned milk….because I make the rules in an end of the world scenario
-

No, only fruit juice and canned milk….
Then I'd tie two 60 lbs rocks to my feet and plunge myself in the North Sea.
