I have romanticized that, yes. It’s a lot if the appeal in post-apocalyptic novels
the only thing i remember (i think at least) from Alas, Babylon was the scene where someone dies from absentmindedly wearing a ring that had become irradiated after the fallout
Into the Forest when the father dies because he was an idiot with a chainsaw...
I was very recently trying to explain the appeal of this genre to someone who was more fed on adventure quest stuff and it was difficult to put into words. We almost had different worldviews and I wonder which came first.2 -

we haven't had a good old fashioned "what r ur post-apocalyptic plans" thread in a while now, but i feel like it'd just be all zombie-based responses, so better to just let it remain a dead topic probably.4 -
Now I'm thinking about what the best post apocalyptic outfit would be...if I only had one.
It would have to be practical, easy to wash (in a lake or river?), dry quick...hmm
Leggings definitely, for range of motion, running climbing etc. Tank top and a sweater with pockets...pockets that do up
Actually, this just sounds like my "go to" fall, winter, spring outfit (except for the pockets that do up, is that even a thing on sweaters?)
I'm stuck on the shoes tho, damn...even at the end of civilization I'll be hauling around a change of shoes "just incase".3 -

It’s like fall/winter hiking - light layers. Shoes are a problem though2 -

you'd never make it. one head shaving to prevent lice later and you'd be looking for a cave to hide in. also there would be a pack of coyotes in the cave and they'd have mange.3 -

maybe boots and a scarf, like knee high boots
A scarf is a great idea, it could be multi functional2 -

You are right, who am I kidding, this would be me and I'd wear what I was told to....until I slaughtered the caravan leader, and went rogue, travelling only by night (only because I like to stay up all night and sleep all day!)1 -

I like reading post here it’s the closest I come to connection with others on fitness
If you ever feel like picking up a new book - The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. It could be an excellent read for you. Also hugs, I've been there, and hugs are never a bad thing.0 -

Post apocalyptic stories are always told from the survivors point of view while the overwhelming majority of people involved don't make it through the event. short stories like ' asteroid struck and I slowly suffocated on the ash and dust", " shot to death by Walmart employee while trying to liberate supplies" or " power went out and my neighbor skulled me with a brick to take my bug out camper" that should be a genre. Guess just apocalyptic

Because there’s no story there. And yeah, it’s definitely romanticizing. Like folks who think it’d be cool to live during the Renaissance. Maybe if you were ultra wealthy. MAYBE. But I really dig indoor plumbing4 -

I don't see the appeal of the post apocalyptic worlds portrayed in fiction and the movies. They just look stressful. There are no showers and no loose leaf tea. Not a world I yearn for.4 -
I'm all about that post apocalyptic currency: toiletpaper and Vodka. Those two things are all I need to barter with people who have the things I need and want.6
