He 252 - First Aid: Fill & Download for Free

Well, let’s look at it from a couple of perspectives.First the numbers: Napoleon had about 75,000 troops with 252 guns against what was initially 72,250 British, Germans, Netherlanders, and Belgians with 156 guns. Napoleon was on the attack, giving the Allies the advantage. From statistical modelling (T. Dupuy’s QJM Model), we find a hasty defence posture is worth a factor of about 1.3, and the terrain, a mix of rolling hills, grain fields, and chateau about 1.3, and artillery worth about 25 men.This gives the Allies (72,250 + 25 * 156 ) * 1.3 * 1.3 = 128,694, and the French 75,000 +252 * 25 = 81,300, a ratio of 1.58 in favour of Wellington.So, had the two armies been equal in quality of command, morale, troop quality, we could expect the Allies to be winning. However, by 5pm, the Allied line was wavering, despite Wellington employing every trick he had used in the Peninsula to beat Napoleon's marshals. Napoleon had just committed his reserve, the Imperial Guard, and Wellington was now trying to scrape together every formed unit he could collect amongst his battered forces to try and hold the line against them.About that time, Bulow’s IV Corps of the Prussian Army came crashing unexpectedly into Napoleon’s flank at Placenoit, initially with 26,000 fresh troops and 64 guns, but rising to 53,000 and 132 guns as the evening wore on. Now, Napoleon had to scramble to find troops to try and hold back this surprise attack, even pulling his Old Guard battalions out of the attack on Wellington’s centre in order to retake Placenoit from the furious Prussian assault. The Prussians added 26,000 + 64 * 25 = 27,600, but, multiplied by 1.7 for having achieved a major degree of surprise, for 46,920, thus bringing the Allied total advantage to 2.16 to 1. By the end, it would be (53,000 + 132 x 25 ) * 1.7 = 95,710, bringing the odds to 2.76 to 1.I have not given the French a defensive modifier because a.) their largest formed, fresh force was still attacking Wellington, and b.) Napoleon’s reaction to the Prussian attack was to counterattack with everything he could lay his hands on, resulting in a vicious series of attacks and counterattacks.The Allies now had a crushing degree of superiority, yet the French continued to resist until the only formed units they had left were two Old Guard battalions and a handful of Guard Cavalry. The Young and Middle Guard (which had been retitled ‘Old Guard’ but were less experienced that the grognards of Napoleon’s senior 2 regiments), faced with a counterattack by Wellington’s entire force, conducted a slow fighting withdrawal until they were wiped out by massed horse artillery. Even so, the senior two Old Guard battalions calmly escorted Napoleon off the field, even as Prussian cavalry and guns relentlessly pursued the retreating French troops.At the end of the day, the French had lost between 35–37,000, some 48–51% of their force, a nearly unheard of proportion, while the Allies had lost 30,000, despite their superior numbers, defence of terrain Wellington had carefully chosen, and their determined pursuit of the fugitives. Wellington had lost 31% of his army holding a field of his choice, and even Bulow’s Prussians had lost 14% (7,200) of their number in their flanking attack.Would you consider that ‘a hell of a fight’?Anyway, let’s ask Wellington. Amongst the things he said of the battle were: “It has been a damned serious business... Bluecher and I have lost 30,000 men. It has been a damned nice thing — the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life..”“My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. The bravery of my troops hitherto saved me from the greater evil; but to win such a battle as this of Waterloo, at the expense of so many gallant friends, could only be termed a heavy misfortune but for the result to the public “Wellington was no amateur, and had on several occasions faced superior French forces, as well as had to undertake gruelling sieges of fortified towns, yet at Waterloo, with a roughly equal force at the start, with the advantage of the defender, and then aided by the surprise flank attack of his ally at the most critical moment, he recalled it as the battle he came closest to losing. I think he would say that the French did in fact ‘put up a hell of a fight.’Note on casualties:Readers casually perusing the internet for loss statistics will invariably get different figures than those I have given. I am not sure from what they have derived their figures, but my losses are taken, in the French case, from the official Ministry of War archives, compiled after the battle, and in the Allied cases, from Wellington and Bluecher’s own tallies, made together. Everybody seems to quote a mere 22–24,000 losses for the Allies, but this is incomprehensible, as the British alone lost 14,500 out of 31,000, the Prussians 7,200, and it would be ridiculous to imagine that the other 41,250 Germans, Netherlanders, and Belgians present lost only 2,300. Wellington’s own figure of 30,000 total allows for a far more reasonable 8,300 Germans, Netherlanders and Belgians. Besides, he was actually there.

[Originally drafted on December 23, but I just got around to finishing this answer.]"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face....He's going to do this, do that. Everybody has a plan until they get hit. Then, like a rat, they stop in fear and freeze.”—Former Heavyweight Champ Mike Tyson“The practice of readiness is more about recreation than preparation.”— Former Navy SEAL Eric DavisWhile I do love zombie movies and TV shows, I have never walked through Home Depot taking note of what could be used as weapons if the zombies arrive and suddenly I’m in the stronghold for the last of the uninfected. I don't have a zombie gun or an INCH bag or a SHTF cabin. I doubt I've given them any thought.As it so happens, however, I’m reading this question while actually parked at a Walmart — just down the highway from a middle-of-nowhere prison town, halfway through a cross-country trip — which makes the idea of a dry run (a Supermarket Survival Sweep, if you will[1]) suddenly intriguing. I'm curious to see how this would actually play out. I mean, this place is huge — at least 230,000 square feet by the looks of it— and I haven't been to a Walmart in years. Plus, it can't be that they all stock the same things in the same way (firearms in particular). Nevertheless, I have a plan. It's probably a terrible plan. Still, it’s a plan.Here are the rules:I’m not diving into the weeds. Let's just say it's zero-hour and I have free-range inside for 10 minutes. I'll assume that what's here now would be here, stored as is. Also, the zombies and outbreak will be the Romero/Kirkman standard (rather than one of the other 300-some varieties).I'm not making a list, checking inventory, or other pre-planning. I'll also proceed as if I have none of the assets in my truck, just what I'm carrying on my person at this exact moment — my clothes, wallet, watch, phone and wireless drive, and the shoes on my feet — plus, of course, the dog.The countdown starts once I enter Walmart, and the timer stops once I return to that entrance. And there will be no time-outs. I'll also use a walk-tracking app to record time, distance, path, and speed.Since an actual looting spree would result in my arrest or homicide, I’ll instead briskly walk through the store pawing whatever I would be looting, taking close-up pictures. For things that are secured (i.e., guns, controlled substances, and pricey electronics), I'll pause a reasonable time to simulate a smash and grab.Finally, I’ll limit myself to items and an overall volume that I imagine would fit in my cart(s), or which I could otherwise transport.Let’s begin.OUTSIDE(1) Display by Garden/Plants:Two 96-Gallon Trash Cans.Stock carts with: A Chopping Axe, a Small Sledge (I don’t think they even sell the latter; both useful for “liberating” secured loot), Trimmer Cord (useful for opening doors with slam latches), Nylon Outdoor Couch and Ottoman Covers (waterproof, durable fabric), and a rusty Extendable Branch Trimmer (not pictured).A pallet with Heavy-Duty Webbing.A telescoping pole like the trimmer (and hiking poles) with a hook, plus some FAST rope, tubular webbing, or escape ladder makes for an improvised way to place breaching or rescue gear.The trash cans will hold more than the shopping carts. (In fact, some community response agencies use them to store and distribute kit during disasters. Also, they make for decent rain collection barrels.) The plan is to fill one, then return to some point for the other.FOYER (10:00-9:44 left)(2) Entrance/Shopping Cart:An Extension Cord, Fish Tape, and a Cordless Drill; a Tool Bag containing: a 50-Bit Set, a Multi-Bit Screwdriver, a Folding Hex Key, Pliers and Vise Grips, a File, Utility and Hawkbill Knives, a Multi-Tool, a Jab Saw, a Wire Cutter/Stripper, Aviation Snips, a Tape Measure, a Framing Hammer, and a Stanley FuBar.A handful of Walmart Shopping Bags.Whether intentional or just a matter of sloppiness, I saw at least 8 places where tools and other goodies were left lying around. (This one seems to part of an actual project, however, not just a surreptitious display item.)HEALTH AND BEAUTY SECTION (9:42-8:20 REMAINING)(3) Supplements and Adult/Performance Nutrition Aisles:Salmon/Fish/Krill/Omega-3 Oil (you can't have too much fish oil) and Chia Seeds, a Greens Supplement, Emergen-C (all in a row), and a Multi-Vitamin.Mass Gainer, Protein Powder, and BCAAs (all by less-distinguished brands), 3 flavors of Atkins Shakes, and Ensure; and Boxes of Met-Rx, Atkins, Cliff and Cliff Builders, Kind, and Lara-Brand Bars, plus Power Bar Energy Gels and Cubes.Prune Juice.The variety in protein supplements here is intentional, as mass consumption of the same brand, particularly if it's low quality, can result in "unpleasant" developments. Also, after looking at my food stash, I may be needing the prune juice.(4) Pharmacy/Counter and Adjacent Displays:(Planning for gold in the) Pharmacy Pick-up Orders.First Aid Kits, Wound Care Kits (which, happily, contain Celox, a hemostatic agent), Blister Kit, Rubber Gloves.Antiseptic and Hydrogen Peroixide; and (from a return cart) Pedialyte (an oral electrolyte great for athletes), Benadryl (for the dog especially), and Gold Bond Friction Defense and Moisturizer.And a blood pressure cuff, which (along with a door stop) can be used for an impromptu Air Wedge should you lock your keys in the car and find AAA to be … unresponsive.I estimated it would take 22 seconds to open the half-door and rip the prescriptions off the clips by the armful. The results will be very much a "box of chocolates”; but, out of the 300+ prescription orders, at least 10% minimum should be useful.[2](5) Travel-Size and Soap Aisle:Personal Wipes on the end caps (all the wipes are mine; except the painful antibacterial ones).Travel sizes items (i.e., Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, and Floss (now is not the time to skimp on dental hygiene); Bar Soap; Cotton Pads; Gold Bond Powder, Lip Balm, Vaseline, and Moisturizer (seriously); and Lysol Spray and Clorox Wipes.Pantyhose and Nylons (to, uh, reduce skin chafing).I will hypothetically literally run out of food before I do wipes and toilet paper — and not by accident.DIY SECTIONS (8:18 -7:32 REMAINING)(6) End Caps of Outdoor Improvement Aisle:Assorted Solar-Powered Accent Lights (basically solar powered battery chargers) and boxes of AA, AAA, and 3.7v Li-ion and NiMH Batteries.(7) Tool Aisle:Leather and Mechanix Wear M-Pact Gloves, Large and Small Cans of WD-40, a Gerber Micro-Tool, Leatherman, Hearing and Eye Protection, C-Clamps, Hand Riviter, 18” Bolt Cutters, a Stanley 252-Piece Tool Set, and Nylon Mechanic’s Bags and Carpenter’s Belts.Cordless Dremel Rotary Tool and Kit, B&D 20V Cordless Drill and Project Kit, and a Hyper Tough Corded Angle Grinder and Kit.(On the end cap or back wall) Mini-Duraflame Log, (mislaid) Heavy Duty Plastic Wrap, Long Stick Matches, Auto/Marine Fire Extinguisher, Rubber Door Wedges (a fast way to jam a door), and a Kidde Emergency 2-Story Escape Ladder (it’s easy enough to make your own Etrier, but this is ready-made; though parts certainly could be trimmed to cut weight (ounces = pounds, pounds = pain, etc.)).The mechanic’s bags are some of the most durable yet flexible fabric in the store: Tough enough that I've used them to reinforce old pants when clearing very thorny brush, and made of thicker material than what’s used to make Kong chew toys. The door stoppers can be used for vehicle entry and (duh!) can stop doors from being opened.Also: Why do survivors always stumble right into a moaning hoard? They’re all deaf. “Mawp ...mawp...mawp…MAWP….”AUTO CARE (7:30-6:03 REMAINING)(8) Tire And Lube Shop:● Spare Tire; Car Batteries from the assorted groups; Powermate Portable Inverter Generator.(9) Body, Engine Repair, and RV Aisle:(All in a row) 5W-20/30 Motor Oil, Antifreeze/Coolant, ATS and Drivertrain Fluids, Stop-Leak Products, Silicone and Graphite Lubricants, Refrigerant, Compressed Air, and an Air Filter.Fix-a-Flat, and a Slime Flat Tire Repair Kit.Grey Primer, Spray Tint/Kit, Plastidip, Flex Seal (good for adding grip and eliminating metal-on-metal noise), and Bed Liner Coating.Various Tapes (Duct/Gorilla in assorted colors, plus Rubber and Silicone Tapes), Glues/Epoxies, etc (i.e., Goop; Loctitie Sumo, Quick-Dry, and Epoxy; Rubber Cement; J-B Weld and Stix), and FiberFix.A Camco Marine/RV Water Filter and an Auto/Marine Fire Extinguisher.Bed liner (rubberized polyurethane) is pretty versatile stuff, from protecting fuel cans to lining ponds, to (so it appears) some ... less traditional uses.(10) Travel and Interior Aisle:Recovery Snatch Strap and Recovery Strap, Utility Chain, SmartStraps, Cambuckle and Ratchet Tie Downs, Nite Ize Gear Ties, Bungee Cargo Nets, Shackles, Waterproof Roof Top Cargo Bag, a Grey Tarp, and a 6x4 Rubber Cargo Mat.Here are just a few of the many ways flat webbing and ratchets can be used to lock, secure, hoist, carry, tow, anchor, and self-rescue.(11) Towing and Electronics Aisle:Cobra CB Radio (behind an easily-smashed glass display).Torin Off-Road Jack. (Almost literally a jack of all trades, serving as a jack, winch, spreader, clamper, locker, crusher, and puller. Useful for garage and door entry, as well for as barring doors.)Reese Electric Winch, Deep Socket Set, Maxsa Foldable Traction Mats.Fuse/Repair Kit; Schumacher Multi-Functional Power Station, 500 Watt Power Inverter, Battery Cables, and an Emergency Kit Travel Kit with Extended Jumper Cables.Siphon, 2-Gallon Gas Cans; Big and Small U-locks, and Cable/Receiver Locks; Zip-Ties (note: automotive plastic ties are usually stronger and more useful than the regular ones); and a Half-Shell Motorcycle Helmet and Goggles, and Motorcycle Batteries.SPORTING GOODS (6:00-3:44 REMAINING)(12) Fishing Aisle:(On end cap) 80-Test Fishing Line, Nylon Tackle Bag, and a Casting Net.Fishing Knife, Line Cutter (basically, a seatbelt cutter), Flare Gun, Ray Guard/Walk-N-Wade Guards, L/R Lindy Fish Gloves(!).12-Gallon Plastic Fuel Tank; Large carabiners, S/9 Biners, Snap Hooks/Links, Cam Jams, Metal O-Rings, Cleats, Lashing Tabs, U-Bolts, Marine Waterproofer, and Dock/Anchor/Utility/Rigging Line and 550 (all of which which can be braided into something more useful — see this under-appreciated masterpiece for more fun).What are Lindy fish gloves? Well, they're made with SuperFabric®, which is a multi-layered fabric covered with tiny plasticized resin guard plates, designed to protect against barbed-wire, cuts and stabs, and even snake bites and needle puncture. You’ll also see it on tactical gear and motorcycle apparel, and find it wherever people handle sharp and pointy things.[3](13) Hunting and Shooting Aisle:A Remington 870 shotgun, a .308, a Ruger 10/22 (in the main firearms cabinet).Ammunition for current selection of firearms, plus other popular calibers, 9mm and .223/.556 especially (in a secondary cabinet).1-6x24 Scope and 3-9x32 Scope, CenterPoint 1x25mm and Aimpoint Holographic Optics, Sightmark Night Raider 2.5x50 Night Vision Scope, 60x Spotting Scope, GSM IR-Capable Trail Cam (all in the flat display cabinet), and a Workplace Employee’s First-Aid Cabinet (underneath the cash register).Mounting Accesories, Batteries for Optics, Truglo Shotgun Front Sights, Weapon Light, SOG EOD Multi-Tool, Gerber Hunting Knive, Bowie Knife, and Ammunition Pouches and Cans.The firearms in this Walmart were left in a vertical display cabinet (not secured in a cage and/or with a cable) which is quite smashable. The glass on the counter displays will, to varying degrees, be stronger. The drawer behind the counter, fortunately, is generally much less so. (Estimated time spent smashing the glass and grabbing the loot: 35 seconds. Right now is why I brought along the axe and FUBAR and grabbed those leather gloves.) Each gun did have a tubular trigger lock. While the same brand of locks are sold in-store, and thus might provide a twin key, drilling/cutting the locks will be just as efficient.Side note: I walked right past a Smith’s sharpening kit and a hand-held GPS. It should go without saying that I indeed missed many things: like a collapsable ladder, a flexible inspection camera/endoscope, a pink “Brave” compound bow, a sling case for rifles, a compass, a Nikon Camera with 55–300 mm lenses, the entire hardware aisle….(14) Camping Aisle:8 or 9 Flashlights and Headlamps of varying battery platforms; a Micro-Light (always good to keep a micro on your zipper/chest strap), and Glow Sticks (which can be dropped from distance to illuminate the ground, work underwater, and won't set things on fire).PVC/Nylon Rain Suit, Poncho, Waterproof Pack Cover, and a Ozark Trail 2–1 Hammock/Sleeping Bag15/25/45L Backpacks, a Camelbak-Type Pack and extra Bladder, and a Coleman Rolling Duffle.Bear Grylls/Gerber Parang, Machete, Hand Axe, Fixed-Blade, and Multi-Tool; and an Ozark Trail Folding Shovel.Propane and Butane Fuel, Pocket Survival Stove, Combustible Cubes, and Waterproof Matches.Purifying tablets; Lifestraw-type filter, Cobra 2-Way Radio, Fire Starter, Emergency Blankets (for heat and signaling), “Commando” Saw, Tenacious Tape Repair Patch, and 2 pair of Cascade Mountain telescoping Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles.Mountain House Camping Meals and UST Emergency Rations (50 and 70 total, respectively).Stainless Steel Water Bottles, and collapsible 5-Gallon Water Bag, and as many 7-Gallon Plastic Jerry Cans will fit.The lights cover all battery platforms — AA, AAA, CR2, CR123, CR2032, C and D — particularly since camera (CR) batteries are more likely to be overlooked by looters. Was it hard to find the CR-powered lights among the wall of choices? Nope, just grabbed the most expensive compact models.Incidentally, anyone hoping for a “high-quality” machete will have to settle for what will basically be a giant spatula after more than a few wacks to a human head. Also, the only bats in the store were for t-ball — really just fish bats with delusions of grandeur.(15) Fitness Aisle End Cap:● Gold’s Gym 40-Pound Training Vest (snatched from an already open box; no need for the weights), and a Yoga Mat.I may die wearing a fitness vest for a chest rig, using a yoga mat as a bed roll. :((16) Bike Aisle End Cap:● Inner Tubes (with a 1000 uses).RETURN TO STARTING POINT (3:44-3:35 REMAINING)(17) End Caps and Displays on the Way Back:● FoodSaver Heat Seal Vacuum Rolls; Tea Candles; Dish Soap and Clorox Wipes; and a bag of Dog Food.ELECTRONICS, HOME GOODS, AND CLOTHING (3:33-2:14 REMAINING)(18) Craft Aisle:● A Lockstitch Sewing Awl, Upholstery/Size 18 Hand Needles.(19) Clearance Electronics/Camera Section:● Pocket Juice 20,000 mAh Portable Charger; Parrot Camera Drone, plus Extra Battery; a Compact 50” Pocket Tripod and a Gorillapod (since most of your post-apocalypse long-gun shooting will likely involve non-standard positions).(20) Men’s Wear:● Assorted Clothing in a return cart: Jeans (which, amazingly, might fit), Underwear, Polyblend and Marino Wool Socks, T-shirts, Sweaters, and Performance Pullovers. Also, a nearby Dickie’s Canvas Work Jacket.I'm struck by the range of clothing sizes. It later took me 3 minutes just to find pants remotely in my size. No amount of hemming will make a pair of 48x32 pants wearable for me.(21) Footwear:Interceptor “Tactical” Boots, Rubber Muck Boots, and OP Men’s Water Shoes.Saddle Soap/Leather Lotion (helps condition shoes to be sneaky Pete), and Freesole and Aquaseal (great not just for shoe repair, but also adding a flexible, tear-resistant coating to clothing, nylon especially).Quality boots may be, without exaggeration, the second or third most important bit of kit. What goes on your feet will determine whether blisters, hotspots, athlete’s foot, and/or peripheral neuropathy slow you down. These, however, are not quality — they merely happened to be on the clearance racks, in roughly my size. Of course, there’s no time to try anything on (in which case maybe go a size up).GROCERY (2:03-1:10 REMAINING)(22) End of Kitchen Aisle:Toilet paper (on the end cap), Press-and-Seal, Zip-Lock and Snap Lock Bags, and 3 Mil Contractor Bags.(23) Stock Cart:Peanut Butter and PBfit Powdered Peanut Butter, Iberia and Goya Beans, Goya Cooking Paste, Kraft Mac and Cheese Cups, Quaker Oatmeal, Great Value Chunk Light Tuna, White Rice, and five flavors of Earth’s Best Baby Food.This Walmart was filled with these ready-made, pot-luck emergency pantries. Let's hope the Zompocalypse starts after 7:00 pm.(24) Grocery Aisle End Caps and Displays.Applesauce, Canned Fruits, Instant Soup, and Canned Pumpkin.EVOO, Nut, Sesame, Avocado, and Blended Oils (i.e., liquid fat).Tea, Coco, and Coffee (don't underestimate the value of creature comforts).CHECKOUT (1:08-:38 REMAINING)(25) Impulse Displays:Red Bull and 5-Hour Energy Drinks, 36-Packs of Bottled Water, so-so much Krave Jerky and Summer Sausage, Bulk Mixed Nuts (the delux, peanut-free kind!), Pretzels, M&M's, Bananas, and Doritos.That the cheesy dust of powdered fat is both yummy and really flammable. And bananas can make a gastric-friendly energy paste and treat burns, while the peels can, among other things, be used to filter water.(26) Battery Display:● Batteries of all the various sizes.(27) Checkout Aisle:● Pens; Bic Lighters, Butane Lighters, and Zippos; and a Cartoon of Cigarettes, a Phone Charger, 50 State Atlas, and Trail Mix.I don't smoke; but I've heard enough stories of WWII POWs trading smokes for boots that I'm banking on them making for good currency.FINISH (28 SECONDS REMAINING)(28) Display:● A KayakIt’s here, so why not? It’s potentially useful in my current AO. I’ll drag it with me on the way out.THE PLANThis is not a SHTF shopping list. This was a hyperactive kid on an Easter egg hunt glomming whatever looked pertinent for (1) being not-eaten, and (2) a month-long overland expedition in a developing country. It’s also an example, for better and worse, of how much stuff you can grab in 10 minutes when your eyes lead your brain (and not the other way around) and you limit yourself to 15 or so seconds for the non-priority sections.[4]When traveling in the middle of nowhere, you’ll definitely need food and water (especially where chemically contaminated sources can't be treated just with boiling). You need tools to do basic repairs and the ability to get your vehicle out of most sticky situations. That means the ability to carry extra fuel, a quality air compressor, a puncture repair kit, at least one full-sized spare, a quality jack, a shovel, comms, analog and digital navigation tools, auxiliary power sources for your gadgets, and vehicle recovery gear. You'll also want spare oil and drivetrain fluids, fan belts, filters, bulbs, fuses and a sensible tool kit.It also safer and more enjoyable to drive a vehicle that is free of rattling, shifting, or bouncing gear. Everything has to be lashed, locked, and/or bolted down once you leave pavement least it move around dangerously. You also have to balance the impact of all the extra weight on performance (say, while driving down a hill) with both the flexibility for carrying extra passengers/supplies and overall organization.[5]Depending on your location, hygiene may be particularly pressing. Any disruption in the natural barriers of the body left untreated can become infected by tiny amounts of water, dirt, or even germs and particulates already on the skin.[6] Given how quickly many areas can, in the absence of human intervention, become rat-infested, disease-ridden literal cesspools of waste-water, some level of hazmat protection (i.e., rubber boots, gloves, and clothing) and disinfecting supplies may also be necessary. Similarly, depending on the environment, plastic bags, sheeting, and the like may be essential to keep dirt, dust, sand, smoke, and/or rain from choking and corroding you gear, food, and vehicle.Also, depending on the political or social climate, you might upgrade your vehicle's security. Very dark-tinted windows or screens will prevent anyone from seeing what, or who, is inside. Security cages on the windows and deadbolts on the doors may also be considered. (The drawback to all three: increased conspicuity.) Locks on fuel caps, water, and car batteries may also be handy. Finally, in the absence of a kill-switch, removing something like the fuel pump relay (or replacing it with an inert duplicate), or putting some sort of lock on the steering wheel, may be advisable.[7]Of course, there are other concerns apart from traveling. Always plan your exfil and for Murphy's law first. If, for example, you are traveling and your destination is compromised, the weather takes a turn for the worse — dust storms, fires, blizzards, etc. — or your vehicle breaks down, you'll need tools and materials to turn a place like this into shelter, find a way to breach Walls, or be able to transport/drag your assets to safety.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________[1] I so want this to be a real game show now.[2] ‘Useful’ meaning Analgesics — NSAIDs, corticosteroid anti-inflammatories, and opioids — Psychotherapeutics (e.g., amphetamines, Ambien, and Modafinal), Anti-Infectives, Respiratory Aids (e.g., Albuterol and Epinephrine), and Gastrointestinal Aids. (Pro-Tip: Veterinarians and ambulances aren’t the only “alternate” sources of meds, as most professional and major-collegiate sports teams will store medications on-site.)[3] I'm also awaiting the day the first screen writer realizes there are low-profile literal (anti-)bite suits among the myriad protective garments ( see Miguel Caballero’s Online Store, for example) that exist.[4] And I do mean grabbing, if not shoveling things. Why those exact backpacks? Because they were in a pile. The various optics and firearms? That's what was in the display case. The casting net, helmet, and dog hammock? Because they were on top of other things. Lots of stuff was just … there. Of course, change the store, season, time of day, or even the entrance, and the result no doubt would be somewhat different. (The optimal approach, incidentally, would have been to enter exit through the tire and lube shop, thus nabbing one or two full-size spares and whatever is in the shop on the way out.)[5] When it comes to inventory, it's ideal that all that food, gear, materials, etc. should by stored in way that allows you to, at a glance, visually identify everything and see what's missing (kinda like having an outline of a tool on pegboard). You'll never leave something behind, and restocking becomes almost subconscious. The more you can customize your storage and use available space, the easier that becomes.[6] Similarly, is having a shirt with a high-collar really a big deal? Well — if after a week of rucking in a t-shirt the chafing on your neck from a camelbak or a sling gets infected — yes.[7] In less permissive environments, you also want to tape or use dirt to dun up any shiny or reflective surfaces and other notable features. In some cases, you might want to completely tape over unnecessary light units — dome lights, brake lights, the radio, etc. — if not remove the fuses altogether, to ensure nothing can be accidentally operated. Tinting or diffusing headlights is another possibility, as would be covering those lights and relying on night vision should you have it.
