Ok here's what I think i'd be able to get my hands on the first morning of problems based on equipment, tools and vehicles in my home;

So it's day 1 of the world turning to shit! My first instinct would be to protect my family and head to somewhere safe. ii dare say id head to the safety of the countryside away fromt eh rotting corpses, disease and other people. Id probably be heading for some where remote and high up - possibly the moors of Cumbria or north Yorkshire, or further afield as the Scottish highlands.

 

So with that in mind here's what I would grab on day 1 for my journey; (Sorry no pix yet!!!)

BAGGAGE
1 x large black hold all.
1 x small under-Armour draw string bag

+ a couple of hand luggage bags that my mrs and kids would need (here on out though ill base the rest on my equipment!)

CLOTHING
- British Army issue combat pants (1 spare pair in my holdall). Heavy duty and dark to camouflage me if/when i reach the countryside.
- waterproof lightweight leather boots (used for airsoft) . Tough, comfortable and good protection and ankle support.
- spare pair of running shoes (in holdall). FOr comfort or when i need to get in and out of somewhere quick!
- lightweight dark tshirt sweater (+1 spare in my holdall). Something easy to clean and drys quickly. Dark colours for natural camo.
- thick safety goggles - to protect eyes from blood/gore/other shit)
- Cowboy Combat Boonie (Ala Blaine from "Predator") to keep the sun and shit off my head - besides, just because the world has turned to shit doesnt mean you cant look cool!! I dont have any helmets or anything like that to protect it properly  so its style over substance:(.
- Fingerless gloves. Again from airsoft with some added protection for my hands from close encounters but still not restricting my fingers when i need them for fiddly jobs.
- socks. +  lots of spare pairs. Got to look after your feet.
- British army issue camo jacket. Used for airsoft but keeps me warm and is very thick and practical.
- waterproof wax camo jacket. Heavy duty and expensive waterproof wax jacket that would keep my dry and comfortable in cold wet weather. (would probably have this in the car/bag)
- watch. I dont own a fancy or especially durable watch, but it would do for the first few days so i can track time.
- Tactical vest. Was made for airsoft but will be very useful for carrying extras i may pick up on my journey as well as adding an extra layer of protection

WEAPONS/TOOLS
My airsoft weapons would be useless so sack them, they are left behind!
- 1 firemans Axe (my father in laws who's an ex fireman! probably my weapon of choice)
- 1 x Small crow bar
- 1X claw Hammer
- 1 large kitchen knife
- 1 x small kitchen knife (hidden self defense weapon - zombies arent the only enemy now!)
- 1 lock knife
- 1 Genuine and real pair of steel lined nun-chucks (i cant use them properly but they are a hell of a good koch!)
- 2x slings. i have a 1 point sling and a 3 point sling. they will be sooooo useful later down the line!

 

Longer term id be looking for shotguns probably (id check farmers' and farmers' mums houses!)


NOURISHMENT
- Anything tinned, mostly beans (!!!), pasta, tuna, corned beef and soup, that sort of thing.
- bagged dried food such as pastas and cereals
- Water, lots of it. Id fill as many bottles and containers i could find with water and take them.
- some sugar and chocolate (emergencies, shock/blood sugar etc)
- vinegar (useful for so many things, believe me!!!)

 - alcohol - what ever was in the fridge (a couple of cans of lager or john smiths) or the wine rack (its never wine, always cheap vodka, whiskey or gin). If the world is going down the toilet I want to have a few good nights before i pop my clogs! Doubt id waste any of this precious commodity on disinfecting wounds, trading or anything like that though!

 

MISC EQUIPMENT
- first aid kit (the usual, bandages, plasters, antiseptic cream, pain killers etc)
- toothbrush (world has gone to shit, no one to fix me if/when i get painful tooth ache!!!)
- tool kit (tool bag with call the usual stuff)
- soap (for hygiene and washing clothes - infection will be rife!)
- shit roll (enough to get me through a couple of days - dare say I'll need a fair few rolls though it if walking corpses are coming at me from every dark corner!! lol)
- lighters (as many as i could find in the house for fires)
- candles (again as many as i could find for light)
- torches (got a few kicking round the house)
- string/rope (what ever i could find in that "spawns" in the shed!) - its always useful for stuff when you dont have it! Plus it might be useful for making snares or something to catch meat (im no hunter though!)
- sleeping bags (keep us warm as we sleep)
- petrol can for refueling (im sure we've got one in our shed!)
- binoculars (for seeing things from afar!)

- AA Road atlas 2006, the one without the speed cameras marked on it (everyone has one in the car and not that much should have changed terrain-wise  in Britain since 2006  and speed cameras probably arent going to be too much of a problem at this stage :) )

 - gaffer tape - useful for taping down extra bits of clothes and lose stuff that might get caught in tight spots where zombies are! Also useful for gagging the mrs when she starts her inevitable nagging.

 - Pens. Yes i really would make an effort to grab a pen or two. Again, you need them when you dont have them, plus you may need to document/journal or leave messages for other survivors/rescuers.

 

Id be on the look out for camping equipment like gas stoves, collapsible pans and cutlery etc.

VEHICLE
- our family scenic would have to do. its the bigger of the two and could comfortably fit us all in with equipment as well as being diesel and having better economy (dont want to be having to stop every few miles to fill up while zombies are trying to eat me!!!). Longer term id be looking for a 4x wheel drive with lots of room, maybe a Range Rover or LandRover Discovery but probably some kind of large camper van!

Well, I've got a buttload of canned tuna and canned spam in the pantry and a real katana, not one of those crappy ones from the novelty stores but a real honest to god folded steel katana.

 

A gerber/mutli-tool would probably be more useful all around though.
