      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 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.

                                  2 sweatshirts

                                        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.
