I went with the crossbow because its quiet and the bolts are semi retrievable, pistol as a backup/close range and machete for melee.

When choosing my equipment I tried to remember as much of the Zombie Survival Guide as I could.

You're not going to make a crossbow bolt from scratch. I have one, and the amount of force exerted on a bolt is enormous. Mine is a smaller model. The draw weight is 100 lbs, and it fires bolts at approximately 350 feet per second. Plus the fletching, nock and a useful tip (and the glue to hold everything together, if you're not going to use machinery), you will be lucky to scrounge up the supplies to make even one.

But are good for eliminating mass threats and creating a distraction. They're certainly better than empty pockets, and I'd rather kill the immediate threat than try to outrun it, which is what you would resort to.

A longbow or a compound bow? I assume you mean a compound bow, since a longbow is much harder to aim, less durable and often much taller than a compound bow. Besides, you'd still need fletching, nocks and arrowheads (and the tools needed to combine them).

I think you place a bit too much confidence in your ability to kill any number of zombies by hitting them with a skillet. It's hardly an effective weapon, especially in the case of killing a zombie, which often requires decapitation or brain "surgery."

Actually...would fire kill a zombie? We can safely assume they are immune to pain, and it would take a while for the fire to actually reach and incinerate the brain or heart, depending on the required target. Perhaps I should rethink my Molotov approach.

You don't have anything to attach the bayonet to anyway. You'd be safer with a survival knife or a machete.

Army style for zombie apocalypse. Dragunov rifle's good for a sniper as far as I know.

I read in the description the tan cartridge's for long rifle weapon.
You can see the sleeping bag and tent in my supplies. I will face the zombies with a sniper way: hiding, sneaking, camping, cooking food and beverages in the woods and then I can fill the empty bottle.

Dragunov is a bit weak for a long distance shot, not as good as Springfield. But Dragunov has a fast bullet reload, so you can get two advantages. I will use Uzi and Pistol if I am in a state of emergency, mean lil bit noisy. I made a little mistake with the ammo, I can not find ammo for the Dragunov and Uzi.

Here, have this.



Im just joking around, but it was REALLY fun to make, lol. So much beff jurki xD

You guys know there is a solar charger with multiple plugs, right? Next to the blanket in the "other" category. Nubs.

Actually, I make another one that has lot of cigarettes in bag.

The order is shuffled every time. Do you mean the one that says "Portable Heater, 7kg"? If so, you may have a hard time getting a charge from it.

On another note, the weight system is easily abused. For example, this first one has a total weight of 40.2kg:

whereas this one has a total weight of 6.87kg:

I am having trouble posting my loadout, how again do you post images?

I got around to making something that is along the lines of what I would like. The quantities of each thing aren't exactly how I'd want them, but I can't be bothered to get it exact.

Can we make this more organized? The type of terrain; climate; if you're going to cross-country, camping (city), camping (type of terrain); rainfall, humidity; things like that, because a setup for Brazil, (my country) is totally different from a setup of Mexico, USA, or Canada.

@FishPreferred Lol that propane tank.

Is that just everything labeled 0 kg?
