I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Because books.

the two (LARGE, SERRATED) knives he carries to work every day. Along with 250 feet of 550lb rope, fuel, monocular, masses of laptops and storage and solar-powered USB batteries

Seriously?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez, msbelle -- good luck!

Does that guy take all that stuff out of his car??

it's so little in comparison!

It’s not the size, it’s the number of hours of combat training.

Does he expect to get no warning of the Zombie Apocalypse?

Also, I guess we can assume he doesn't take public transit to work...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does that guy take all that stuff out of his car??

He let me hold his knapsack. It's three sections--computers, other gadgets, survival tools. This comes to his desk every day, and he rifled through it showing me each thing.

it’s the number of hours of combat training.

He's (down to) about 300lb of semi-pro Greco-Roman wrestling. I'm not interested in going toe to toe without something involving combustion on my side.

That's kind of awesome. Crazycakes, but awesome. Also, solar-powered USB batteries? I think I want those.
