I'm diggin those tats!   

[Maille Man]

Gotta have a blade of some sort.  A gun will only last as long as the bullets.  A sword will last as long as the arm that wields it.

Someone mention my name?  Sword for hire...   Actually, I think that's a really good idea but something other than a broadsword but longer than a Roman short sword.

MT beer cans make great fork brace shim material too.... Ask Murph!

[Awaz]

We have a 48 hour kit at the house. Actually my wife put it together - our Church is big on preparedness for emergency. It contains quite a few cans of oatmeals. We canned it ourselves. Few non-perishable canned food. Few jugs of drinking water - we rotate those every week to keep fresh. Flash light and spare batteries. First aid kit. Think few warm blankets. I will have to go look what else the stash contains. Oh as far as weapon goes, just a big knife and a pellet gun....guess short on that department.

[VirginiaJim]

The pellet gun would work on small animals (squirrels, rabbits, birds, whatever) if it has sufficient power.  Not much on holding a man sized animal up unless you are a very good shot.

Duct tape and bailing wire/twine.  Small axe, one folding and one fixed blade knives.  Fire making kit, pot to cook in/boil water in/collect water.  Small canvas tarp.  Dental floss, awl, and heavy duty needle.  Book describing edible plants.  Silvera's address, I think she may have the guns and ammo covered.
