  Clearly Tesla opted for the fail-deadly route instead of the fail-safe route.

  Time to get a gigantic sticker with 2 point font stating stickers rare prohibited in the corner, and the rest whatever the fuck I want. Probably buttholes.

  Ahhh, yeah I’m in southeast USA, so it’s all everywhere lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything blocking paths. Can’t move broken vehicles, downed trees, etc with a bike. Sure a bike can go around, but with a jeep, I can go through, and have space to haul a bike back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing lasts forever. The utility you get short term from having transportation able to haul more than just yourself is IMMENSE for getting established.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Trapping is probably better terminology. A machete can be used to easily enough make some simple traps, then execute whatever was caught. Hopefully food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You lose it all except 3 items. But you do get the dog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The reality is that every item is finite if you can’t maintain it. Some are naturally longer lived than others (machete, fireaxe) but require sharpening and will eventually break. The better metric is what kind of utility it provides during its life, with a second metric for how easy it is to maintain. Something like the Jeep may only get you a week of functional time, but it’s going to allow you to set up so much easier.

  Curious what you mean, as 7.62x39 is about as common where I am as any other caliber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea of everything is best-case. So a trained pup, a loaded gun with couple of boxes of spare ammo, a new jeep with a full tank, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, the katana would be a great pick if there wasn’t two better melee options that’ll outlast the katana and offer more utility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming best case scenario (a new jeep is shat into my driveway with a full tank of gas) I think the jeep is a MASSIVE boon. It increases movement ability and hauling capacity, and can be used to clear many obstacles you’d otherwise have to go around. Is its life finite? Yes, but it’ll give you that leg up at the start of the situation that may very well set you up for success long term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survive the zombie apocalypse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeep: unparalleled utility. It’ll die eventually, fuel is finite, but it’ll let me establish.

  Shotgun: need a weapon, and while not the strategically beat weapon, I have an image to maintain.

  Water purifier: water.

  Machete: backup weapon, infinitely useful tool, more rugged than the katana.

  I think this combination gives me a good shot at establishing a base of operations, securing the area, and settling for long-term. Between the jeep and the machete, most obstacles can be overcome, and scavenging is easier and quicker. Strategically, the crossbow is probably the best weapon just due to the reusability of the ammunition, but it’s not infinite and what you gain in that, you lose in ease of use, which is paramount in a stressful situation. Opting purely for usefulness, the pistol (assuming subsonic rounds and as quiet as possible) probably offers the best balance between reliability and forgivingness, but I like shotguns.

  Water purifier is a pretty easy one. Gotta have water, and while most of that will come from rain or scavenging, there will inevitably be periods of literal draught. Finally, the machete. A knife, a backup weapon, a crowbar. Good for clearing small-medium vegetation. Honestly, the uses are limitless, perhaps second only to the jeep.

  Honorable mentions:

  Dog. If it’s pre-trained, top tier. If you have to train it, mod at Best plus another mouth to feed.

  Any other firearm: mostly preference, each has pros and cons

  Body armor: depending on the zombies, top tier (walking dead style, feral gonna bite you zombies) or reeeally not useful (anything spread by spores, fumes, fluids, etc.)

  Gas mask: invert the body armor.

  Motorcycle: quicker, less utility than Jeep. I wouldn’t say it’s the worst pick

  Everything else is either marginal utility at best (cb radio, NV goggles) or easy enough to scavenge (flashlight, first aid supplies, tent, honestly everything else on the list.)

  Ah fair fair. I am not a movie person, and less an awards person, I just remember seeing you post that all over lol.
