Scenario

Mad Max: Fury Road

Water is currency. So is petrol. So are you.

The aquifers went first, then the arguments about the aquifers, then the states that were having them. What is left runs on whoever holds a working pump and a working engine, and neither is shared.

What kills you

Thirst, heat, and anyone with more fuel than you.

Rules

  1. 01Never travel with a full tank showing.
  2. 02Shade beats speed between eleven and four.
  3. 03Two litres a day is surviving, not living.
  4. 04The vehicle is the plan. Everything else is cargo.

The kit

5 items

Rigid tanks decide how much water you can take. These do not.

Sun, sand, filter, sling, bandage. One square metre doing five jobs.

Half the fuel left in the world is in tanks nobody is coming back for.

Water alone will not save you past forty degrees. This is why.

The vehicle is the plan, and the plan has four points of failure.
