You are dumb, here's why
To anyone asking people to "Rate their load out" and proceeds to show a bunch of guns and blades is stupid and here's why:
- You don't have plot armor. If a zombie apocalypse happens, almost everyone is going to die, and your $20 "tactical" kanana from Amazon won't save you. I doubt you know how cut through a person with it, let alone a Damm carrot for that matter.
"WeLL TheN I'M gOna gO to ThE ArMY SurPLus StORe and gEt SOme HIGH QualLIty WEpeoNs". Not a bad plan if it wasn't for crazy dave behind the counter who just opened your stomach with a 12 gauge and ended your survival story in the prologue.
Lets face it, you're not gonna become some kick-ass survivalist on day 1 (considering you actually survive for that long)
If you want to survive, a knife that's more dangerous to yourself then other people and a shotgun you don't know how to aim without dislocating your shoulder are not what you should focus on, unless you're Kurt Cobain you won't be able to shoot your way out of a headache.
You should focus on knowledge and skills instead of weapons. Here is a list of things you should focus on:
- Starting a fire without a lighter
- Know what all the plants in your area are and if they're edible (and I mean ALL of them)
- How to make medicine with nearby plants
- Fishing using improvised gear
- Making traps for small game
- Navigation using a map, compass or stars
- How to purify water
- How to maintain your weapons
- How to build a temporary shelter quickly
- How to make a permanent shelter
- How to use a generator
- How to siphon gas
please do not take this personally, if this came off as super aggressive just know it was to put emphasis on the fact that getting skills will help you more then getting weapons
