Go to http://innawoods.net/ and make a realistic depiction of what you would have on you after an apocalypse. By realistic, I mean stuff you have in your house currently. In this apocalypse scenario, there are no zombies, but there is no government. The only threats are other people and mother nature.

The crossbow I'm holding is a mini 80 pound draw-weight pistol, perfect for hunting small game in my opinion. I would also have a longbow slung over my back. Hot, humid, urban, lots of greenery.
Edit: Also post climate/biomes around area so others know.
