Survival Situation Item

[Armed Citizen]

Scenario - You must leave your home, you will be on foot, you are only allowed one item from your survival kits, What would that one item be and why ? You are not allowed to take a firearms.

Med/trauma kit. Depends on where I'm going but if urban, I can probably find everything else on a timeline that works. When u need a med kit, u need it then.

 

[Gaffer]

My 6" knife. So, I can gather med kits if needed.

Wait, do we have leave without our clothes? That should be part of EDC.

You beat me to it

 

[Mij]

Bowie knife w/sheath

a big knife will do anything a small knife will do, but not the other way around.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

An axe. Better reach than the 6" knife the other guys have, so now I can have a knife and the med kits they gathered.

 

[nucular]

You guys are making me regret my answer. did I mention my med kit includes a knife, pistol, and flamethrower?

A Machete to fend off the roaming hordes of people with med kits

 

[eldirector]

Wallet.

Man, I really screwed up if I can't even take what's already in my pockets, and not grab my "go bag" on the way out.

Y'all going to look really strange standing around in your skivvies with an ax when the fire department rolls up.

edit: "My Family" is assumed, BTW. I'm even assuming the dog leads the way out (who's a good boy?).

Hatchet... it's compact enough to be easily carried, and it will provide food, shelter, and protection.

Who wears pants?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Katana. That way I can reach the Bowie guys.

 

[bwframe]

Crossbow, for the win...

 

[spencer rifle]

ESEE Junglas. Maybe I can make it more useful with my fencing training.

Or hydrocodone, so I can die happy and relatively pain free. But that would be in a med kit...

 

[MindfulMan]

Spear gun for a bigger win !

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Crossbow, for the win...

See, I thought about that but figured it was outside the rules of the game. Sure, you have a crossbow but it's no good without bolts, so no way to play within "1 item" rules. Else our one item can be a backpack full of stuff, right?

Now, if a fellow knew how to use an old school sling...

If it's the end of the world and we know (and feel fine) why bother with skivvies. Going full shock and awe.

I'm afraid in my case it would be shock and awwwww...
