Zombie Apocalypse

Machete would still be a better choice for the post-apocalyptic wannabe samurai....

Which is why it's on the list.

Well, I can't remember everything that's in everyone's lists. I mean, do you remember what all-rounder rifle I chose? Without going back to my post, of course, honor system here!

[Rupert]

No, but I'm not criticizing your list, either.

No, but I'm not criticizing your list, either.

I wasn't criticizing yours specifically.  I just noticed a couple of people going swords, and since I know how hard swords actually are to use, I thought I'd mention it.

For transport I would probably start off with something like this:

Shaky logic behind the choice: Diesel might not get hit as hard as gas supplies initially, and you can scavenge it off of any farm that runs tractors or other equipment from their fuel tanks. It's also capable off road which would probably be pretty important if highways and such are clogged up, parts would be easy enough to find, and it can haul a few people with me. It's also tall enough to be harder for zombies to reach into. Downside is inefficiency and that you'll probably run out of diesel eventually too, even if you're in a heavy farming area.

For weapons... I'm going to say I'd keep my 9mm handgun, get a 12 gauge shotgun, 30-06 (all things with common ammo), and pick up a machete (Raza is right) and a baseball bat for closer situations. Some claymores would be nice, but I don't know exactly where to find those.

Multi-fuel diesel is where it's at.

Aye. My list of weapons is pretty ridiculously long. Many options preferred before the katana.

Yeah, at that point you're at the "I'm fucked" stage.
