A lot of socks is what you need!

Thx for the solar charged backpacks info, didn’t even know that existed.

A good huning knife OR a trench knife (designed to pierce helmets in trench warfare), also… duct tape (the most useful item in existence right next to a towel) and a can opener (if your multitool doesn’t have it).

thx for the info, and hope my info helps people in the future

A mossberg 500 shotgun can be purchased in any state for around 200 dollars and can be had with a 18 1/2 inch barrel ( which is perfectly legal ). It loaded with various rounds makes a great survival weapon for defense, hunting. And even signaling ( 12 gauge. Flares)

in the event of an infectious outbreak you might want to pick up a gas mask too. pretty cheap also

@ Matt`:
I want to start by saying I appreciate the thought that you are putting into this, but also tell you that you need to follow your own train of logic just a bit farther.

You are right about the early stages of an outbreak being difficult times to make an escape from a large city. If you are paying attention though you will know before anyone else and will be able to beat the rush. If however you find out at the same time as everyone else, you would be PARTIALLY correct on your recommendation of staying put. You should evacuate the city as soon as possible though. Only set up a temporary refuge. After a few days (or up to a week) the streets should be sufficiently clear of the living and the dead will have given chase to the survivors or will at least be slowed by the maze of cars and other debris. That is when you should make your escape.
The suggestion about leather clothing is also rather wise. However I think you may be taking it a little too far. Even a pair of good jeans will probably suffice.

As for weapons though…

Guns are not illegal in any state. While some states such as CA have heavily restricted gun laws, it is still possible to own a firearm and ANY firearm (that works properly and has ammunition) is better than ANY melee weapon. Period. You just have to be wise about using it though.

I think if this happened i would be fucking screwed. but i would bring a sword or a knife to slash some necks. and i would bring steel -nets to catch the cheeta running muther fuckers trying to eat me.

Sorry about the typos.. Haven’t slept in a while. One more thing about the baby wipes, there are often more of them in the same sized pouch as the adult ones, and they cost less. Ok I’m done. Lol.

Baby wipes make a nice alternative to regular adult ones. They don’t leave a sticky residue and are available in lightweight travel pouches. Also, protein bars are sort of perfect. They fill you up and have a high-calorie content and sometimes vitamins, which will be essential at first as you’ll need the energy to get on the move. The take up less space, leaving more room in your pack for other thing. =]

**Add to the end *Leather are harder to bite through* **

I think binoculars would be a good thing to add. For scouting and general observation tasks.

I would’ve suggested NVGs too, but the battery life on those things are pretty short. Plus they’re heavy. Add them to the growing list of kit you’ve got here and it’ll weigh you down if you’re on foot.

Maybe safety glasses to protect your eyes. Ever see the movie 28 Days Later?
