JR BUG OUT BAG
WARNING: page under construction
(There is alot of information in ZSDW about adult team or single person Bags, equipment ans survival gear, but almost nothing for ideas on how to equip your family. So this page will be an attempt to start exploring prepping an older child or teenager's B.O.B.)

- Hoodie
- Rain coat or heavy coat with lots of pockets
- leather belt
- sneakers (hightops would be better) or hiking boots

- Protective gear- Knee Pads, Elbow Pads, Wrist Gaurds, Helmet, Ankle Braces, Shin Guards

.for my next topic I must stress 2 things: 1. Which is more dangerous? Your child having a gun/knife and hurting you or themselves, OR your child left alone in the world with no way to defend themselves or hunt food. 2. Can your child operate safely a fire arm and know how and when to use it?
WEAPONS and TOOLS for Suvival : (suggestions for smaller child able to safely hunt/defend themselves)
- 410 pump action home-defense shot gun (3 shot magazine, pistol grip, fold out pump-action handle) Combo flashlight/laser sight for ease of use (i.e. point and shoot)
- .22 bolt action single shot rifle
- air-pump BB rifle (you can kill a squirrel or rabbit at 100 yards with one!) add a scope for accuracy
- camp hatchet w/ belt Sheath

There have been little to none articles of children in the z pandemic, its a great idea but there are still
things to consider such as, a sleeping bag ,children love the feeling of there own place to sleep in and it may be diffiacult if theres about a hundren zombies close bye. |

first off, "cotton kills", the old survival addage applies in a zombie apocalypse. So jeans, and any clothes made from cotton, should be replaces with something that 1. dries fasted when wet, and 2. is more durrable. When cotton gets wet, it stays wet, will keep you cold, and restrict your movement, due to the clinginess. Wool however, will keep you relatively warm, even when wet. Just something to consider.
Also, a .22 bolt action rifle will do little to no damage to a zombie. Even with a shot to the brain proper, there is a good chance not enough brain will be destroyed to render the zombie moot. I would suggest, as did the OP, a shotgun, more compact the better. A Mossberg 500 tactical is an excellent choice, and they are relatively cheap to buy. a pump BB gun is a great idea to bring along, just for hunting small critters for food though. Also, bring a katana, or machete, or some similar long bladed melee weapon. they never run out of ammo. and hacking through zombies can be a great workout. |
