1. Flashlight - to find my shotgun in the dark.

2. Shotgun - Im going to cobain me out of this shit

Zombie outbreak and owning a jeep? Now you got two problems!

LOL, imagine thinking a motorcycle or jeep would do you any damn good (especially after the gas you can siphon from abandoned cars has gone bad), when what you really need is a bicycle. Bikepackers and touring cyclists will be the kings of the apocalypse.

4 German shepards for having sex with (i am a white woman from the American south)

4 video cameras. I shall trade for all the above with the only source of amateur pornography.

Almost nobody picks the katana. Even the people who pick it mocking the sword!

I can't really blame them because they didn't give you the option to pick the complete set for the katana to shine. If you use it with fedora you can teleport behind the zombies and kill them!

Nobody knows that the katana has this hidden skill bonus if you use it with fedora because this hidden mechanic only passed to the few chosen people in the secret society hidden under the house that people like to call "the basement"

Is the German Shepard a rescue? Anyway that and the camcorder. I'm making cute dog videos

Four chain saws

come at me bro

Water purifier - clean water is essential

Fire Axe - for fire wood collection as well as wood based structures for shelter and defense. Also it is a decent weapon that takes relatively little skill to effectively wield.

German Shepard - loyal and lethal companionship, living thinking alarm bell, will instinctively assist in protection/attacking, could be trained to track game. Will gladly accept food scraps, the bones and flesh of my enemies, and pets as payment for services rendered.

Body armor - reduces risk of infection through scratches to body as well as mild protection against various weapons. Also an added insulative thermal layer for the cold. Body plate can be replaced with old thinkpads as needed

Gas will expire eventually and you could just hotwire one of the many abandoned cars anyways, if the roads aren't blocked by said cars. Bullets will run out unless you find a gun shop, in which case you get guns anyways. Water purifying is easy enough to do without a machine.

My picks would be German Shepherd, Axe, First Aid, and Radio.

There's a reason we domesticated dogs, they are useful in so many different ways like hunting, defense, and security (and companionship). Especially German Shepherds, you can see the damage they do when used by police.

Axes are survivalist 101 and some are practically multi tools despite being simple.

First Aid because infections, zombie or not, are the real killers throughout history.

The radio's more of a gamble, but it's your best chance to find a new settlement, monke strong together and all that. Also you can maybe stay informed on what's happening in other parts of the country. (And it lets me flex my Amateur Radio License).

Body armor, first aid kit, machete, water purifier.

If you choose anything that requires fuel or electricity/batteries you're fucked.

Water purifier: you need water to live. Otherwise you'll die in 3 days.

Jeep: While not the most reliable, they can go off-road and can also be a source of shelter in lieu of a house or tent.

AK: Extremely reliable and easy to service. 7.62 ammo can be harder to come by depending on where you live, but regardless, the AK is a solid weapon.

Fire Axe: Good for chopping down trees, cracking heads or breaking down doors. The practicality is what makes it the better option

Camera, motorcycle, ak-47, radio

I call this loadout "twitch streamer of the apocalypse"

Which four will I be least likely to kill myself by tripping over in the night?

My beloved crowbar didnt even make the list :(

I read Max Brook's "Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z". The choice is very clear for me. Armor, suppressed pistol, machete, purifier.

Depends where you live. A lot of this stuff can be acquired afterwards.

As an Aussie, firearms are very hard to come across. Also, I've never fired a gun before, so I would pick the shotgun because I know my terrible aim would be mitigated somewhat.

Water purifier. Duh.

Fire axe. Utility + weapon.

Tent. I live close to nature, so my game plan is to stock up on nonperishables and go camp for as long as I can, and hope that the zombies have thinned out by the time I need to start scavaging

Flashlight, machete, first aid, water purifier.

Vehicles require fuel, and weapons require ammo. I dont know why I'd need a gas mask either.

First Aid Kit, CB Radio, Water Purifier and Flashlight

No bicycle?

Pills...

A person like me would never survive in this env

First Aid Kit - Zombies are dangerous but so are infections from minor cuts and lacerations. Gotta prep for the unexpected.

Machete - Most effective and common sense weapon as all the others require some level of skill or maintenance and only the machete would be good at making pointy sticks for improvised spears.

NVGs - Something people forget about is that when the power goes out you're going to be looting some dark ass buildings even during the daytime. Stock up some batteries or a charger and looting just got so much simpler. Plus, if you hear a bump in the night, you can go looking for it without letting the neighborhood know where you are, like with a flashlight.

Water purifier - You can go approximately 3 days without water and the pipes stop working when the electricity does. That river and lake isn't safe to drink, neither is the rainwater, and do you really want to whip out your firekit and draw attention just for sippy sips?

Boring picks but I think these are the biggest bang for your buck. Everything else will take so much just to maintain that it isn't worth it. Including doggo.

Since you can easily scavange most of these things you only need the hard to find stuff, and stuff that will help you scavange. So body armor and the ak to keep you alive. Axe to help get into places for supplies. Jeep to haul your shit. Drive down to dicks and load up on the rest.

Long term you need a spear and knife for weapons. A horse and cart for hauling shit. Dog for guard duty. And ways to get water and food.

Jeep: unparalleled utility. It'll die eventually, fuel is finite, but it'll let me establish.

Shotgun: need a weapon, and while not the strategically beat weapon, I have an image to maintain.

Water purifier: water.

Machete: backup weapon, infinitely useful tool, more rugged than the katana.

I think this combination gives me a good shot at establishing a base of operations, securing the area, and settling for long-term. Between the jeep and the machete, most obstacles can be overcome, and scavenging is easier and quicker. Strategically, the crossbow is probably the best weapon just due to the reusability of the ammunition, but it's not infinite and what you gain in that, you lose in ease of use, which is paramount in a stressful situation. Opting purely for usefulness, the pistol (assuming subsonic rounds and as quiet as possible) probably offers the best balance between reliability and forgivingness, but I like shotguns.

Water purifier is a pretty easy one. Gotta have water, and while most of that will come from rain or scavenging, there will inevitably be periods of literal draught. Finally, the machete. A knife, a backup weapon, a crowbar. Good for clearing small-medium vegetation. Honestly, the uses are limitless, perhaps second only to the jeep.

Honorable mentions:

Dog. If it's pre-trained, top tier. If you have to train it, mid at best plus another mouth to feed.

Any other firearm: mostly preference, each has pros and cons

Body armor: depending on the zombies, top tier (walking dead style, feral gonna bite you zombies) or reeeally not useful (anything spread by spores, fumes, fluids, etc.)

Gas mask: invert the body armor.

Motorcycle: quicker, less utility than Jeep. I wouldn't say it's the worst pick

Everything else is either marginal utility at best (cb radio, NV goggles) or easy enough to scavenge (flashlight, first aid supplies, tent, honestly everything else on the list.)

Chainsaw Body armour Mask Shotgun

doomguy

... and maybe three other items of s-mart

I would opt for the crossbow, machete and axe then use those to commendeer better equipment. Specifically that choice of weapons because axe is useful for chopping trees, machete is a weapon that doesn't require ammo and it's a lot easier to make crossbow arrows than bullets. Also take the night vision goggles in the off chance they're the super high tech kind and not the ir lighting based kind because you'll never just "find" one of those otherwise. Then use that stuff to basically steal everything on this list and more.
