Epic Adventures 1 & 2 list survival kits, etc., which Peter is trying to work into the equipment list. Problem is, many of the items have not appeared elsewhere (to our knowledge) and Peter would like official stats (if any) for the list.
Questions that come to mind are: What are TL12 water purification tablets? Fire-starting equipment -- flint and steel? matches? propane torch? How much does a blanket/poncho weigh? Is it like a space blanket, wool, heavy rubberized cotton, nylon and fiberfill? What's the calibre of a survival rifle? It includes shot and shell -- is it over/under or do both types of rounds chamber in the same barrel? What's in a personal field kit? What kind of rations -- canned, tinned, freeze-dried, energy bars, bricks of pseudofood? How big is a bulk water container and what kind of filter is included with them? Is it part of the container or a canvas bag with a funnel? What are the stats for an emergency radio distress beacon?
Etc.
Thanks.
