Create your own survival gear!

[JetroKoro]

I found this cool little site that allows you to come up with your own gear for surviving the apocalypse.

Lets see who can come up with the best kit!

CREATE YOUR KIT HERE

Rules:

1) Total weight can't be more than 20kg or 40lbs.

2) 1 primary weapon and 1 secondary, ie. rifle and a revolver.

3) 1 item / slot in smaller pockets and 2 items / slot on larger. 2 small items count as 1, ie. 2 protein bars = 1 item.

You can see my kit for guidance regarding the item / slot rule.

For simplicity's sake, lets say that your character needs to survive for 5 days all alone with the gear, before finding his/her way to a friendly outpost.

Remember to include EVERYTHING you need. You can't shoot a weapon without ammunition, use a lighter without lighter fuel etc.

Feel free to come up with a little background story for your character or explain why you chose this item over the another.

So here's mine:

A problem I noticed is that not all ammo has weight to it, and it can add weight quite quickly. Cool little site to play around with though, I will mess with it later.

I started doing it, but it's kinda buggy, and not everything has weight.

[ArrayKnight]

Yea, it's not perfect. But it's still a bit of fun.

Mine came out to 18.6 Kg but like you guys mentioned I'm pretty sure some of those things don't weight anything.

Though now that I'm looking at yours, it looks like I could have packed some of my items even tighter and not had to have so many pockets.

This was harder then I expected. I feel like there's not enough room to put everything. I mean, between my EDC and my GHB I think I'm carrying far more than I can cram into these slots

But then again, I'm not carrying any firearms (or ammo), since those are prohibited over here.

I crammed a lot of small items together in pockets to make it fit. Still, I think all those items should fit in reality. I didn't include the lighter fuel, because I carry BIG lighters, but those weren't on the list.

They need to add the Phillips & Rogers model 47 Medusa revolver

Hey! Wait a second, you guys have electronics. So much for staying in the theme of the game.

[elloco999]

Well, to be honest I wasn't basing my gear on the situation in the game, but more of a general SHTF situation in the area I live.

[signalsurvival]

Great but I think that it will depend on the person that how much weight he/she can carry. The idea of putting the things in pockets is good. Besides if I am creating the survival kit then firstly I will pick first aid box and eatables. Then the other things like battery, fuel and others.

[Incariuz]

I went as realistic as possible basing this on actual things I'd have handy, or could grab nearby very easily. The canned peas are more symbolic then anything, I'd probably have canned stew or something in it's place.

As for my knife, this is the style of hunting knife I have, but with a better grip.

[elloco999]

I created a new set of gear for myself (not sure why my previous one is gone...), this time trying to stay in the TLD setting as much as possible, so no electronics and only gear that is in TLD or at least should be IMHO

This is if I were trying to get to safety, if I were sheltering in place many of these items would be in my shelter instead of carrying them around all the time. Much like how I do things in TLD

here is my survival kit...
