Nice. I've got a couple Mora MG Companion heavy duty ones. Love those knives and they are so cheap, but so well made. I'm going to get one for a friend after I get paid this wed..
Liah, I'm just wanting to be very specific for this RP. Reason being, is most people don't really realize what resources they might or might not have on them. By learning to look at the gear you have, things yo have on you, and see exactly what everything could be used for, it increases survivability and the possiblities. Most characters are carrying around at least six feet of cordage in their shoe laces, maybe more. You can do a lot with just five things.. a good knife or pocket knife, a lighter or ferrocerium rod (firesteel), some cordage, and coverage, like a tarp or something for shelter. Add in a bandanna, a canvas sail needle, a light source like a flashlight or head lamp, a decent compass, mirror, and some duct tape or gorilla tape and you can do even more.
Urban survival has a little bit different needs, but some things stay the same. For instance, several people have food cans on them with food in them. They're probably going to throw them away (I don't know) when they empty the cans. I wouldn't. you can use them to boil water, carry things in, even create a hobo stove if you've got a good cutting tool and a little time. The lids that come off some pull tab cans have very sharp edges. I would use this to my advantage for small cutting tool, like skinning or careful cutting.
So it's not a matter of picking on anyone, if you felt like that. It's just accuracy in detail because it may come into play.

Stuck knee against hot muffler of lawn mower on accident around 2004. Burn scar torso lower right quadrant inferior to navel and one inch lateral, spilled hot-ass ramen on self last winter.

I'm pretty sure Polyphemus is correct. Also, what kind of hunter's knife are we talking? Are we talking a big nasty bowie knife, a machete, a buck knife, a skinning knife, a bushcraft type knife, or even something as simple as a cheap (But good quality) Mora knife from Sweden (average $15 but good, carbon steel, scandinavian grind, 4 inch blade)
Also, the shotgun... I saw you slip that in, under equipment. It's a weapon. And if you're going to have it, how many rounds does it have? Is it pump action, lever action, break over double or single barrel, are you using smoothbore with shells, rifled slugs.. or using rifled with smooth slugs? Are you using 12 gauge, 10 gauge, 20 gauge, or .410 gauge? Do you have ammunition adapters to use things like .22 long rifle, .30-06 rounds, 9mm rounds...
Also, she must have a really boss and water-tight backpack to hold water in the pack. Did she just poor the water in there hoping it would stay... Or did you mean something like a camelbak? Or is it stored in water bottles? How much water? Are we talking a 6 oz sippie cup, or are we talking like a gallon jug? What other toiletries?
I ask because she could have anything from cans of aerosol deodorant to isopropyl alcohol, even tampons are useful... petroleum jelly, cotton balls, acetone (nail polish remover) etc... Chap stick is even useful. The more specific you get the better.
Food - again, how much, what type?
Everything factors in to your survival, from how much weight you carry, to how much in calories you have to water, and so on.
Also, if most of her changes are underwear... is that primarily what she's going to do - run around in bra and panties? ((Just kidding.. its a joke. Hygiene is important, and if cant wash clothes, at least taking a field shower and changing undies helps immensely and goes a long way to keeping one feeling civilized and human. ... Seriously though... Bra/panties, or bikini wouldn't be outrageous."

I haven't announced when there would be a start. But probably today or tomorrow.

Why isn't mine an active character?
Have you updated your sheet yet in regards to the things I asked about or pointed out?
Hey Verdant. Sorry for hijacking things. Nobody had any idea what happened but people still liked the idea/concept and wanted to do something with it. Glad you're back. Will be looking over Mr Harris in more detail in a little while.
You gotta be found first, but sure. It shouldn't take long to be picked up though.
and yeah, go ahead and send the sheet. weapons and gear can be figured out in a little bit.

At first glance, he's great. I think he'll add some good elements to one of the groups.
I'll go over bio in more detail later.
--- Edit---
I went over the bio on a compulsion, and all I can say is "yeah... hell yeah."
Accepted, as is. Any changes or improvements, I'll be happy to look at.
