Post Apoc shopping game!

[Master Rel]

No worries lol, I figured...and it was an Ultra Saber bump so going off topic never had more weight


*****


It seems we may have tapered off the interest...to be honest the process of spending/searching for a big list is a chore at worst lol...so maybe a short shopping trip...somewhere fun...


Ok how about here with a three item budget...any three items available from this online site...if it is listed with a price then you can have it regardless of availability...yours to have...deal with the post apoc threats...

Cold Steel

Just go to link and click on products...let the fun begin  

[Master Rel]

My three choices


Two handed katana machete...overall length: 35 1/2"





Boar spear...overall length: 82 1/8"





Gun stock war club...overall length: 29 1/2"

[ThreadJack]

Tomahawk


Viking Sword


Jungle Machete w/ sheath.

[Bern Sal Becca]

O-Katana blade 36" overall 49"
Zombie Killer



Hunting spear made for throwing and bringing down large game, such as lions and leopards, which should very easily work well with any sort of wild game i may run acrosss, and if absolutely necessary could be used to dispatch a Zombie, but i wouldn't want to contaminate and risk ruining my source of obtaining food.



And a hunting knife to skin and field dress my kills, could be used to defend myself if needed, again last resort so i dont need to worry about contaminating my food

[Master Rel]

Good choices 

This was a fun thread while it lasted...these niche subjects ebb and flow.


Let us try another shopping site and see what happens...


An Army Navy Surplus site...you can have as much as you can carry out the door in one shopping cart

2 pairs because they will probably be seeing some serious action


steel toed


2 of these


Weaponry

2 22" machetes for most zombie slaying action


at least 4 of these collapsible 32" batons to crush zombie skulls, want to have a few extras since they will be tanking abuse


2 combat knives in case it gets up close and personal


2 survival knives, mostly for small game and utility, not getting contaminated by zombies


at least 2 utility knives, again not to be used against zombies, also comes with fire starter


2 of these, comes with sharpening stone, and good for getting and hunting

as much as i hate the idea of these, the practicality of a snuggie would be nice. Can wear to keep warm while moving or use while sleeping, at least 2 or 3


at least 4 rolls of duct tape are a must


at least 4 rolls of 1000 ft paracord


and you never know when a little more rope may come in handy



And if i packed everything right those bags/shopping cart wouldnt be full, but thats what i would have

[Master Rel]

I great list...but dear lord your cart would be seriously full!

But that is fine...most likely there would be a horse, motorcycle, car/truck, friends, etc. to help with load.

That said, all quality choices.

Point 

[Bern Sal Becca]

Thanks, it looks bigger than it is though, pretty much everything on that collapses, and i dont think i would have the cart full, especially i i was packing equipment into the bags as i went along,

[B1ondeange1]

you like post apoc scenarios don't you rel? pretty interesting game but

[Master Rel]

you like post apoc scenarios don't you rel? pretty interesting game but

...but what?

Lol

Yes I do like the post apoc but not for the reasons most do I am thinking.

I like to reduce the human equation in a wide stroke...creating a new frontier wih remains of the days past.

Aside from that it comes down to one word...mutants

But I do like the realistic settings also, hense the shopping game,

[B1ondeange1]

just "but"

I like the new frontier with remains of the days past idea, though I like it more in terms of firefly style thing. I can mostly deal with aliens (unless they are big scary monster type things, I don't do big scary monster aliens, unless they are the covenant) but I don't do zombies or mutants *shudders* dunno what it is but I just cant deal with them. hate hate hate zombies! if my partner jared plays zombie games, i leave the room or make him play on the computer screen with it turned away from me and with head phones on. my friends decided to force me to watch dawn of the dead back in high school, like if I tried to run away theyd hold me down type force, omg i had nightmares for ages!!!! they also weren't in my popular books for a short while. then they tried to force me to watch shawn of the dead- but I managed to escape part way through

back in highschool some friends including jared did a role play scenario with d&d style rules of zombie apoc in our local city/ town and enjoyed it (I stayed well clear, yuk zombies!). it still comes up in conversations from time to time, primarily coz one of our friends made a stupid choice of weapon and got a bad roll and got decapitated in a spectacular fashion right at the start. funny how silly little things like that stay with you.
 I rekon jared would like this game of yours

[Master Rel]

Then have him join the forum and play along!

 


Alrighty then...a new process...transportation.

The setting is typical post apoc...limited people, no public utilities, resources are just what you can find or modify...no zombies or aliens.

How would you get around?

Do you walk, ride a bike, use a motorcycle, drive a truck, ride a horse, etc.?

Each has issues...some need fuel, others need food...there would be needed replacement parts, medicines...etc.

So no price limit but rather a limit of what you could manage alone.  Meaning you do not have 15 vehicles, you could not operate an aircraft requiring a crew of 6, a gang of 7 horses would be a major burden on the road with food/water/etc.

What personal transport would you choose?

[Jev Moldara]

Well, the best option for a group would be the convoy route.

- 4 fuel tankers (full - 2 diesel, 2 gasoline) - uparmored, reinforced frame, reinforced hitching
- 1 box truck for motorcycle storage.
- 1 18-wheeler with modified box trailer used for food and supply storage, mobile kitchen, etc - uparmored, reinforced frame, reinforced hitching
- 4 SUVs (hybrid) - uparmored for protection and equipped with a reinforced frame, weapon mounts, and a front plow for getting through obstacles
- 2 pickup trucks (hybrid) - uparmored for protection and equipped with weapon mounts in the bed.
- 6 cars (hybrid) - uparmored, reinforced frame, weapon mounts on passenger side
- 6 offroad motorcycles - no modifications


On the personal side of things, I guess the best option would be on foot. You're more maneuverable on foot, less likely to draw attention, and it's easy to hide if need be. Of course, the faster you find a group to hook up with, the better.

[Master Rel]

If available I would have a camel...tough as nails.

If not then a horse.  I am familiar with the husbandry issues and tack related maintenance.

[Bern Sal Becca]

I would personally choose a horse, able to get a decent speed, would also work well to alert me of anyone or anything else that i might have missed, such as a large predator. Familiar enough with a horse to take care of it. Plus it would give the added benefit of being a food source if you get desperate enough
