In the event of an apocalypse and you do happen to pack a great bag of actual essentials .... someone bigger stronger and with a gun is going to murder you for it.
That's why you also pack a gun? Size doesn't really matter if you have one.
A gun would add some serious weight to your pack, which would often mean you don’t cover ground as easily.
It’d be fun to see an apocalypse where everyone packed a gun to steal from everyone else but no one packed any food.
So you eat the other people. Simple.
Also, bring a pistol. Those aren't very heavy.
Are they? I’ll admit, my experience is limited but it’s seemed to me even pistols are a considerable weight, especially compared to other survival/camping supplies.
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.
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.
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.
I'm pretty sure this describes some areas in the US.
That's why you trade them out for some big guns.
