All right so the Idea is to give an item that would be really useful to have in a end of the world type scenario post only one item per post and be as detailed as possible if possible also tell why this item would be useful where to get the item the items price what doomsday scenario would it be best for if any and so on and so fourth. Also feel free to comment about someone's item if you think they missed something.

All right ill start off one of the most useful items you could have is a nice sized pocket knife. it is fairly cheap useful in a large variety of situations and can easily be concealed. A good one should be strong enough that you could cut down a young tree with a but of time and effort.

So give your ideas and I will put them in the second post
Sorry about the format I'm not good at this


I will make this a list of our items__________This is a list for our Bunker_____________This is a list for our Vehicles and parts

Pocket Knife__________________________________Bunker
Welding Torch_____________________________Gas Generator
Dogs________________________________________Kennel

Welding torch, it might cost a bit of money and even some time to learn how to use it. However how useful will it be when you think I wish it was possible for me to make this or that. with a welding torch you could make almost anything out of simple scrap metal or random things you find around a house. It would be a tool you could make virtually anything with specially things in an Apocalypse. only thing would be gas or electricity depending on the situation, but there should be ways of getting stuff like that. Maybe the next item posted could have to do with that.

I'm adding Bunker here but it is only the physical protection a bunker would offer feel free to add amenity you would want in your bunker or qualities you think it should have. An average bunker cost around 100 thousand to have built but any structure underground that can hold the necessities for survival as well as being both secure and stable would work in a pinch. Having a place to hide and be secure while you rest is absolutely vital and a bunker is one of the most secure place you can be.

Some kind of generator/oil. You will need power and most likely the power won't always be on. :P

all right so we defiantly need a generator but what kind or perhaps multiple kind just to be safe?
Ill add an gas gen for your post if that's OK but some more permanent or renewable for of energy would be good. Maybe just save the gas one for an emergency?

I was thinking a Group of well trained dogs would be good since they can help with hunting(if possible) Guard duty in a variety of ways as well as any miscellaneous purposes. they could also be a massive help for moral. What species of dog do you guys think would be best?

No dogs probably not, they can protect you. However, whats that dog changing into when he bites that zombie, do you really want a host of kill train zombie dogs chancing you down? As far as them helping you hunt, how can you trust what they bring back? I personally don't have a taste for zombie rabbits.

And it would probably have to be gas, cause that would be about the only thing you could find.

well I did say that it was any form of apocalypse not simply zombie also when you hunt with a dog it doesnt go off alone it flushes out game for you to shoot

also if it came done to it id rather put done a dog after getting bit then get bit myself.

gas may be prevalent at first but it will go fast and can be dangerous to gather I feel that solar or thermal power would be more reliable and would be an overall start to the new world if you please

as for my item ill go with something along the theme of zombies and pick a crossbow very silent and with the power to pierce sheet metal and is an excellent method for killing zombies when you need steath which is fairly often. A good crossbow cost a fair bit but with proper care will last forever. the bolts are not too costly and more importantly can be made by hand.

Their just expense and can break easily is my point, gas will give you time at the very lease to get something else to help if you were not a billionaire before the Apocalypse came. :P For crossbows. Not only that you can reuse them, though if its infection, I would not recommend it.

For my item... a Katana. It might be close range and more chance of infection, but hell, you out of ammo you need something right?

yea you definatly do need a melee weapon and if you just want to buy one then the katana is the best weapon you can get though some kind of light high strength alloy glaive if safer and and can be just as effective. And yes a fuel gen is easy the thermo gen is acually less likly to break down as well as being extreamly high in energy production but yes it is ungodly expensive to make though oce you have it you have practicly free energy for life.

Also thermo you can only have those in specific places and that adds more natural dangers as well.
