Basic Equipment

Food and Water
-MRE's are approximately 450 grams each, or 1 pound- 1200 calories
-A days worth of water (excluding water from food), 6 pounds for 96 oz (approximately 75% of a gallon).
-Life Saver bottle, capable of filtering up to 4000 liters (over 1000 gallons), down to 15 nanometers, filtering out every known virus and contagion
-Dried Food, like astronaut ice cream and stuff, or wise food supply, for extended periods of time
-Energy bars, like the HOOAH! Bar!

In general 3 days worth of food and water, for 3 MRE's a day, and 1 bar, with 6 pounds of water, is approximately 28 pounds, of 18 pounds for 3 days of water and 10 pounds for the food (the weight of the food including water).

The life saver bottle is approximately a pound, and can filter up to 1000 gallons; at most, a person will need 1 gallon of water per day, so this is enough to last 2.75 years. A 20,000 liter Jerrycan will last approximately13.75 years for one person. The wise food supply is approximately .16 pounds per serving, and so 2000 calories a day is approximately .64 pounds, or 4 servings. Thus allowing for 10 days worth of food to be about 6.4 pounds, or 10 pounds for 3000 calories.


Total: 30 pounds, including bottles and canteens


Hulc Transport!
56 lb
The Hulc Transport device allows the user to carry up to 200 pounds for three days on their lithium titanate battery, or for an unlimited amount of time provided ample day time sunlight. The typical range with solar panels under ordinary conditions is 3-8 days; recharging is done by hybrid vehicles, usually armored personnel carriers, to provide power for movement. A two week, recyclable but not rechargeable aluminum air battery is capable for sustaining the user up to two weeks. With solar panels provided it may be possible to extend this permanent power greatly if the environment has variable temperature levels.

Armor
The armor is unique in that is provides a wide range of multiple purpose capabilities, such as night vision, scopes, thermal vision, coolant systems, armor protection, a gas mask, air filters, and a host of other things not commonly available to units. Thus it provides a wide variety of functions from operating as a gas mask to night vision goggles. It is as a result, exceptionally heavy.
