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.

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)

An axe is more useful than a machete.
GiddyGap@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Sure. But they didn’t pick an axe, they picked a machete.

After 500km the Jeep is useless for mobility

Siphon petrol. Any tube will work for instance the wiper tube

Why not just take the vehicle you’re siphoning from then if they’re available?

For as much shit as they get, jeeps are designed to be more rugged than most cars. Probably trade it on once you find an actually rugged vehicle, but it’ll be a better choice than most cars you’d find, i imagine.

Ok then, six months.

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

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
