"Remember, all your plans, every backup plan, all your survivalist buddies, even your family and house could be FUBARd, dead or destroyed...

So, let's say all of that happened. You have absolutely NOTHING except the clothes on your back and the purse / manbag / fanny pack you carry stocked ONLY with WHAT YOU PUT IN THERE ON A DAILY BASIS..

To start this off here's what I have/wear/carry ON A DAILY BASIS....As stupid and paranoid as that may sound:

*Boots: Love 'em, hate 'em I'm the one with them on, until Andy claims them when I an defeated.
*Black BDU jacket or cop-style shirt: Stylish, and holds my spare bootlace and pen.
*Camo or block-color cargoes: Sure, jeans are more 'bite resistant,' but they don't make any denim cargoes that I like so I wear cargoes..Get over it. I like the cargoes with lots of pockets for all my gear.
*Undergarments: I'm not going commando on Z-day, I like to multi-layer and my feet won't be as likely to suffer from infection+blisters.
*Jacket: gray Peacoat, short or long black trenchcoat, gray M-65 jacket, dark tan tanker-style jacket...For cold/ rainy Winter weather.
5.11 TAC-A gloves: For if I get a gun, they help significantly.
Wallet: Holds a gold coin, Ace of Spades card for Luck **crosses fingers** First Aid+CPR ADULT certification, military surplus store cards, State I.D., Plus a pic of a girl I like...
Lucky Necklace: Dog tag on a bling chain. **Crosses toes**
Watch: To keep track of the time.
2-inch folding knife: Not really as a weapon, more as a tool....I am going tp bring a multi-tool to augment its abilities.
1st Aid Kit: small kit specialized for my needs.
Man-Bag: DON'T BRING UP THE GAY ARGUMENT OR YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED.
Water bottle, 2 energy bars, flashlight with spare batteries, small 50's Civil Air Patrol survival manual
*Sharp mind: Even in the shower...

"Yeah, the T-rex costume is a bit too much to lug around.

I'm 'intimidating' enough in my own right, I guess."

"Well then smartypants, what do you honestly carry on a daily basis?"

"Well then smartypants, what do you honestly carry on a daily basis?"

"i wear a t rex suit and give candy to little kids"

"Do you really enjoy farking up threads with this bullshit?

I've watched now as seriously asked and posed questions such as the Opening Post this thread were quickly devolved into piles and puddles of teenaged bullshit.

I'm not suggesting you and your T-Rex furry suit can go crawl back into the orifice which it was ejected from...

The Big However is that it would keep you away from keyboard long enough to allow those of we who would like to participate in a half serious discussion do so.

"Go play with the little kids"

My time is limited, I R E S E N T the living living fark out of stupid assed derailments.

"I'm diabetic and a dialysis patient now. After DayZed and the rapid cutoff from Cities my supplies, I'm a deadman.

Until then I carry a medium of *stuff*. That stuff to get me Home, or to a pre-supplied spot in our area where we can bunker up and ride out the worst of the incoming waves.

I can't say enough about having places "off site" where you can have small to medium stashes of food and whatever material you'd find strategic.

Agent Green's OP is a good line to consider. What will we do with just the shoes on our feet, no hat, gear across town in parking garage in car, and the pistol in the safe in your pickup truck's cab?

I'm a hardcore proponent of "Run What You Brung" thinking. It helps us all consider what we do *now*, and then when Unkle Zed and Company come for dinner..

Can't be prepared for *everything*, but being *prepared* beats waiting for your brains to be eaten, or your joining the Walking Undead Band...
