The only correct answer here is:
- Jeep (mobility, storage and sleeping). Also height for scouting/shooting
- Machete - very useful for close combat and as a survival tool if you know how
- Ak47 (assuming ammo also provided). Excellent weapon, great range, stopping power and reliability, decent accuracy.
- Night vision - if you've used these you know they provide an immense tactical advantage and can act as a flashlight too.
All the rest are superfluous or easily buildable by yourself (eg water filter)
After 500km the Jeep is useless for mobility
Siphon petrol. Any tube will work for instance the wiper tube
Why not just take the vehicle you're siphoning from then if they're available?
For as much shit as they get, jeeps are designed to be more rugged than most cars. Probably trade it on once you find an actually rugged vehicle, but it'll be a better choice than most cars you'd find, i imagine.
Ok then, six months max if you always manage to find gas (you're not the only one around siphoning it)
If you are in a highly populated area, without a support group, a 500km drive may be just the ticket to get to a safer location.
You may also be shot up driving around, but we don't know the details
Why? There's effectively infinite cars and gas tanks are sealed.
I think an ev/solar setup would be better though. Use the jeep to find a house with solar and a battery then all you need is an ev and you're laughing
Gas doesn't keep, it turns to varnish, that's why starting a weed eater after winter is a pain, the carb is clogged from old gas turning to schmoo
Nothing lasts forever. The utility you get short term from having transportation able to haul more than just yourself is IMMENSE for getting established.
The only item here that will be remotely useful longterm is the machete. All the other items will run out of gas, ammo, and battery quickly.
An axe is more useful than a machete.
Sure. But they didn't pick an axe, they picked a machete.
