- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

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.
I'm pretty sure this describes some areas in the US.
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.
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.
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.
That's why you trade them out for some big guns.
