"1) Flash lights of course would probably be main source of light, and having one of the wind up flash light.

2) I was thinking a gas mask would play an important role, but if we dont get those then we would have to build tolerance to smell i suppose. or nose plugs.

3) There is normally four way intersections in the sewers so there could be a high probability of escape or atleast a chance to.

4) I think the probability of the government bombing is likely because they would be frightened by the major cities and bomb them. Just look at when the government bombed Japan. if they collapsed then my party would be screwed, but i think that most sections of the sewers would hold.

Yea this would be a temporary plan just for about a week or less. just matters how things work out."

"Respirators -

1. Do not last that long.
2. Have bad visibility (unless you can get hold of the newer ones).
3. Bad for communication.
4. Sense of smell is an important sense. "Plugging" your noses for long term would not be good for you. "

"Depends. 3M painters/carbon fiber sanding respirators last about 8 hours while in an "unclean" environment. NATO gas mask canisters are good for about 48 hours in "unclean" air. I had to wear a gas mask for 26 hours once, and for the life of me I cannot remember if it filters out bad smells or not."

"So, whats the standard issue respirator like? I swear ours lasted no longer than 2 hrs? I'll have to check."

"Cities won't be bombed so soon."

"ok then.
Cities being bombed by their own governments are not something I think would happen. Its a waste of time and bad PR besides. at the very least, they would bomb one, see the results, and go from there(though this entire subject is pure conjecture).
Dont count on survivors coming to help you, as one of our main rules (Don't count on owning anything you don't already have) applies just as much to people.
Rather than grabbing a random house when the time comes, find a good position now, that you have knowledge of, that will hold up well enough to deal with these problems.
How are you meeting up with these people in your party?
besides guns, what do you have for supplies? Food and water are essential.

"to be honest....once you step into those sewers every drip of water...every scurrying rat... every noise will make you jump, plus it is dark as hell and it smells like poop. my point is, that by the time you come out of the sewer you are gonna come out with a twisted ankle, covered with poop, tired and with warm urine running down your leg. WHATEVER YOU DO STAY THE HELL OUTA THERE!

if you are trapped in the city try to find you way around by using back allies. if those dont work you could try to move along the rooftops. whatever you choose, you are gonna want to get the hell out of the city as fast as you can."
