I call this loadout “twitch streamer of the apocalypse”
Zombie outbreak and owning a jeep? Now you got two problems!
-
Flashlight - to find my shotgun in the dark.

Shotgun - Im going to cobain me out of this shit

I’m fine with three! Tent, Flashlight and Camera. That way I’ll have the easiest way out by being the sidecharacter who gets murdered during the exposition before it all goes to shit.

First Aid Kit - Zombies are dangerous but so are infections from minor cuts and lacerations. Gotta prep for the unexpected.
Machete - Most effective and common sense weapon as all the others require some level of skill or maintenance and only the machete would be good at making pointy sticks for improvised spears.
NVGs - Something people forget about is that when the power goes out you’re going to be looting some dark ass buildings even during the daytime. Stock up some batteries or a charger and looting just got so much simpler. Plus, if you hear a bump in the night, you can go looking for it without letting the neighborhood know where you are, like with a flashlight.
Water purifier - You can go approximately 3 days without water and the pipes stop working when the electricity does. That river and lake isn’t safe to drink, neither is the rainwater, and do you really want to whip out your firekit and draw attention just for sippy sips?
Boring picks but I think these are the biggest bang for your buck. Everything else will take so much just to maintain that it isn’t worth it. Including doggo.
Why not the fire axe? I don’t think it would be that difficult to swing. Granted, it would be much heavier than a machete, but long term the axe is gonna last longer and dull slower.
Also might come in handy as a tool in more ways than the machete. Open doors, smash windows, chop firewood and you’d probably still manage to sharpen some sticks with it. As a weapon I do not think that a machete is easier to use without any training.
My beloved crowbar didnt even make the list :(
Body armor, first aid kit, machete, water purifier.
If you choose anything that requires fuel or electricity/batteries you’re fucked.
What’s the body armor for? Zombies will bite you on the neck.
I don’t have a PhD in zombiology but zombies will bite you wherever they can. Depending on what kind of zombies we’re talking about a bite alone might turn you or not. So body armor could be useful for some kinds of zombies and utterly useless for others.
