Ah but see, a firearm requires cleaning, oil, and ammunition. The suppressed sidearm will lure in your neighborhood while anything unsuppressed is going to call everything within 8 blocks right to you. Dog is a mouth to feed, mess to clean, and is also loud unless you've trained them very, very well. Making light isn't hard but everyone can see light - including zombies. NVGs are just for you. Water you can clean yourself but I assume you mean boiling which would need a fire.. and everyone can see the light and smoke.
You only use the firearm if you need it. If you need it, you really want it.
There's a lot of heating solutions in the world that do not involve fire and even so, plenty of ways to do light sanitation exist.
A lot of these are highly contextual in terms of the type of outbreak and individual skills but I think my options give more flexibility overall for me personally.
I suppose but for me I wouldn't want to waste a pick on something I'd use for extreme cases. Sure it'll help in a bind but I'd rather prep to not be in that bind to begin with.
Everything changes with context but I made my picks with "The Walking Dead" scenario in mind. They all walk, everyone's infected, it only takes effect if you die with your brain intact, they roam in hordes. But hey, we may never know and it's probably for the best.
