[β] Katana314@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) A gun would add some serious weight to your pack, which would often mean you donβt cover ground as easily. Itβd be fun to see an apocalypse where everyone packed a gun to steal from everyone else but no one packed any food. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] elrik@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago I'm pretty sure this describes some areas in the US. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) So you eat the other people. Simple. Also, bring a pistol. Those aren't very heavy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (3 children) Are they? Iβll admit, my experience is limited but itβs seemed to me even pistols are a considerable weight, especially compared to other survival/camping supplies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago Depends what you consider considerable. For example Glock G19 is 855 g (30.16 oz) with a full magazine, to me that doesn't seem much. Especially if you consider how valuable of a tool it could be. Hopefully you'd have at least twice that weight in water alone. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Yeah, if you've ever done some serious hiking you know you wouldn't want to haul around a gun. Also, imagine being in a shootout while wearing a massive backpack. permalink fedilink source parent [β] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago 1.5 lbs, loaded, on average. Even I overestimated by quite a lot but it still wouldn't have made a major difference. How the hell heavy did you think guns were? Were you adding on the mental weight of being able to easily take a life? Because that traditionally does convert to mass very readily. permalink fedilink source parent
