blahsay @lemmy.world The only correct answer here is:
- Jeep (mobility, storage and sleeping). Also height for scouting/shooting
- Machete - very useful for close combat and as a survival tool if you know how
- Ak47 (assuming ammo also provided). Excellent weapon, great range, stopping power and reliability, decent accuracy.
- Night vision - if you've used these you know they provide an immense tactical advantage and can act as a flashlight too.
All the rest are superfluous or easily buildable by yourself (eg water filter)

1 1 Replylightnsfw @reddthat.com Why not just take the vehicle you're siphoning from then if they're available?

Kecessa @sh.itjust.works Ok then, six months max if you always manage to find gas (you're not the only one around siphoning it)
1 0 ReplyGBU_28 @lemm.ee If you are in a highly populated area, without a support group, a 500km drive may be just the ticket to get to a safer location.
You may also be shot up driving around, but we don't know the details
3 0 Replyblahsay @lemmy.world Why? There's effectively infinite cars and gas tanks are sealed.
I think an ev/solar setup would be better though. Use the jeep to find a house with solar and a battery then all you need is an ev and you're laughing
1 1 ReplyKecessa @sh.itjust.works Gas doesn't keep, it turns to varnish, that's why starting a weed eater after winter is a pain, the carb is clogged from old gas turning to schmoo

GiddyGap @lemm.ee The only item here that will be remotely useful longterm is the machete. All the other items will run out of gas, ammo, and battery quickly.
2 1 ReplyMycoBro @lemmy.world An axe is more useful than a machete.
5 0 ReplyGiddyGap @lemm.ee Sure. But they didn't pick an axe, they picked a machete.
