Your apocalypse essentials

Brilliant idea Stu. I love this shit. However, am I picking for the short term on the assumption that I can scavenge longer term survival stuff later or is this a "grab it now or forever do without it" scenario?

 

I'll assume the latter (mainly because it's the long term survival shit that really interests me rather than the killing zombies bit). So, here are mine without having read the thread (because I know others will have had some boss ideas I've not thought of):

 

1. A really good multi-tool (with a built in flint) as it will have limitless usefulness.

2. A really good coat (preferably with Wu-Tang overtones because you've got to keep it real even during the zombie apocalypse, yo) to keep me warm and dry in even extreme weather conditions.

3. That Lofty Wiseman SAS Survival handbook in the laminated version (because knowledge is king and sodden, unreadable pages are useless).

4. A serious hunting knife for protection and as a tool.

5. A gun and ammo unfortunately. Highly limited in its effectiveness against zombies (and actually counter-productive, noise-wise) but absolutely essential for all the other cunts out there. This is the USA and every fucker will be armed and dangerous in this scenario. Never take a knife to a gun fight. And besides, in an emergency where you can't run or stab your way out, zombies will need to be dispatched quickly.

6. Antibiotics. Injury is pretty much guaranteed and infection will be a killer in a post-apocalyptic world. If I could assume I could scavenge done, I'd drop this item.

 

I left out other things like good boots (I assumed I was wearing them), a tarpaulin (for shelter, luggage or water collection) and rope (for snares, building shit and tying shit up) because six is six.

 

Now to see what clever stuff I overlooked.

 

You can obviously pick things up as you go along so the six things you want are probably going to be ones you think you might not easily come across or that you think are essential from pretty much day 1.

1. Jumper cables (free cars)

2. Trip wire so you can get a warning before the undead invade the perimeter.

3. Pickling Salt / Curing salt - so you can keep meat, fruit and vegetables from spoiling.

4. A big plastic bucket to collect rainwater. 

5. Multi tool with flint for building camp fires

6. A pair of Turdseye's kecks so i can store all this stuff

A chilled bottle of Chablis

About 100g of aged Roquefort

A box of Monte Cristo #4

A recording of the Goldberg Variations

A pair of silk pyjamas

A copy of Ulysses

 

... I'd be shit in the apocalypse, me.

 

A renaissance man after my own heart. A zombie apocalypse scorches the Earth and you'd be sitting in a burgundy smoking jacket, with a pipe in an old edwardian house mulling over the subtle nuisances of Joyce's prose.
