stuff has hit the fan, there's violence in all of the major cities, and news anchors on every channel are saying NOWHERE is safe. Martial law has been announced, but most of the military has fragmented into those that have cracked under the pressure, those that went back to their families, and those that stand by their orders. You have one hour to gather up as much supplies as you can, and to bug out. Where isn't important. When is now. What... well, nobody knows. But lo! It was all just a dream! Continue on with your life... But what if it truly occurs 5 years down the road? How will you prepare then..?
Innawoods was originally an indie game being developed to work in a much similar fashion to DayZ. Due to lack of time/effort/Idontforgetin'know, the creator of Innawoods dropped the project, but kept a survival-dress-up-sim alive on the site. It's been featured here on the forums plenty of times, mostly for "What is your dream loadout?" type topics, but I'm curious as to what we currently have, and what we wish we had in terms of bug-out kits or just general gear around the house.
Define: bugout kit-
nounThe focus is on evacuation, rather than long-term survival, distinguishing the bug-out bag from a survival kit, a boating or aviation emergency kit, or a fixed-site disaster supplies kit. The kits are also popular in the survivalism subculture.
Here's what to do
Step 1- click the link at the bottom of this OP (Go to the link now)
Step 2- Admire your naked body
mmmmm, pale white manStep 3- Figure out what you could/would/should bring with you to survive.*
Step 4- Click the save botton (right side of the UI, below all of the options, it's there I promise.)
Step 5- Clear it all and start a new setup.
Step 6- This time, fill out your slots with the gear you plan on/wish you had 5 years from now, wherever you may be. The key is to be realistic about it. If you're in elementary school, I'm sorry but no you won't have a rifle (US law dictates the legal age to own a long-arm is 18, pistols/small-arms is 21).
Step 7- Use your image-hosting site of preference. I've recommended three sites below this-
Step 9- Share the two images. If you do not clarify, it will be assumed that whichever image is closer to the left, or the top, is your NOW image, and the image closer to the bottom or right is your THEN image.
Step 10- go back and fill as many slots as you can with rocket launchers and hotdogs
Step 11- see how many messages you can send to me with your Step 10 images
Step 12- realize I skipped Step 8
*Survival is going to vary person-to-person. For example, I live in North Carolina. We have mild but humid summers, and we have mild winters. Much of the area is suburban, however there are several large cities, and coastline along the east of our state's borders. For me, I would rather be in the woods in a bug-out scenario. However, someone else may opt to stay home and bunker down. Or to head into open mountains. This changes a lot of things between each scenario- your gear, your tools, maybe even your weapons.
FOR SAKE OF REALISM, DO NOT INCLUDE ITEMS THAT ARE NOT YOUR OWN IN EITHER IMAGE (unless you're just forgetin' around, then sure line your pockets with improvised explosive for all I care.) The idea is to see what YOU yourself own, and what you might consider in the near future.
I personally believe the best time to travel is dusk and dawn. The darker the better.
It takes a keen eye to see a dark figure moving in a dark area (unless you are silhouetted against the rising sun.),
making traversing forest and plain areas much safer.
I also have plans to move into an apartment with Thorfin25, hence why there are two images there.Go inna woods
