We see them have backpacks or bags but rarely do we see what’s inside. They definitely don’t have clothes since they don’t change into anything. Maybe food,water,ammo but they should have more. Or sometimes there packs are too light like they don’t have anything
I appreciate that in The Last of Us, they touched on the subject of menstruation. She had a box of tampons in her pack, and I think they scored some TP too at some point.
A towel.
A towel, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
Most of the time, plot armor. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a pack or bag in a movie or tv show that appeared to have what it should have in it.
Usually they carry some baby that they had during the apocalypse. For some reason people can’t be bothered to raid the abandoned pharmacies for free condoms or birth control pills.
Hey, did you hear — the zombies are attracted to loud sounds. Better bring some kids into this hellscape so they can scream their heads off and get us all killed!
Sort of like the “Hollywood suitcase”, which appears to be just about big enough for some underwear and a hairbrush, when I’m lugging clean clothes, toiletries, shoes, pyjamas, all for a weekend away.
