I couldn't figure out how to arrange all 30 symbols on one Flash sheet without it being a mess, and the posting deadline is approaching, so I'm doing this in installments. Assuming that the well-appointed PALUD (Post-Apocalyptic Lone Urban Drifter) has had the time and opportunity to gather his preferred gear, here are some of his choices.
The subject of firearms could take up much time, but a 'silenced' .22 breakdown rifle is a good general-purpose tool. My crude drawing is based on the Marlin 'Papoose' model. The suppressor allows for the taking of small game in inner-city parks without calling undue attention to oneself, or can be used for the removal of annoying exposed light bulbs, when one is trying to fly under the social radar screen. .22lr ammo has very little recoil, can be very accurate, and is small and light enough to allow one to carry a decent amount, partly to use as barter if desired. A telescopic sight makes it a little easier to hit what you are aiming at.
Sturdy boots are very helpful, as are binoculars, for surveilling.
The odd-looking round thing (I know, they're all odd-looking) underneath the suppressor is a DIY alcohol stove, made from a 3-oz. catfood can.
i'm still trying to figure out Flash, so none of this is remotely to scale. The symbol for a .22 cartridge has ended up looking like a howitzer shell, next to the actual rifle.
