    Is a backpack a necessary?

    I recommend a courier bag or improvised backpack, you get a couple of extra slots and it's very low profile. Because it's not that common your group members can recognize you easier. All other backpacks greatly increase your hit box (just look at your side profile) and visibility. The crafted backpacks hug your body and are good for camo when you're prone. The only food/water you SHOULD ever carry is a canteen, you can eat something like 40 cans of beans before you max the amount of calories you can store (need to eat over a period of time). So you should always eat everything you find as soon as you find it. My setup: M4 spray painted green Olive Tactical Shirt (x4) Canteen, Compass, Headlight Green Cargo Pants (x6) 60 Stanag M4 Double Clips Camo UK Assault Vest (x8) Medkit / Pistol Improvised Backpack for extra pistol clips, handcuffs, extra medkit, extra canteen, etc. Normally you only want one spare clip and stack bullets on top of each other for space. Only the double duct-taped stanags are inventory efficient enough compared to storing raw ammo. I carry morphine in case of leg breaks, bandages, saline bag, iv start, epi pen (since it's fixed last patch to revive people), and if you find it charcoal tabs for food poisoning (optional). I also use the splitting ax vs the fireman's because it doesn't stand out as much. It takes two hits to kill a zombie vs one. I also just use a green beanie because it's very low profile. It doesn't matter if you carry all the gear and protection in the world, it will make your game experience worse when you lose it all from getting shot. PVE is not the danger, PVP is. The best protection from getting shot is not to get shot, you can't shoot what you can't see, so making yourself less visible by being smaller and blending in is better than a ballistic helmet or 20 cans of food.
