Mueseum idea pitch: Post Apocolyptic Survival Kit!!

So for my idea I wanted to do a Post Apocolyptic Survival kit as an exhibit. I like the idea of seeing how would people survive after a world disaster such as a nuclear war and half the planet was destroyed and it made living in it impossible. I love movies such as Book of Eli and games like Fall Out 3, Each takes place several years after a great nuclear was so people have been living ruggedly for a long time. Just by watching the movie and playing the game you get to see all the objects that people made use of or the things that became valuable. It really makes you think that you shouldn't take things you have for granted. And I have done research and there are books written on how to survive in a situation like that, I even found a list of items that would be handy to have. Just goes to show you there are people out there who would prepare for the worst. But anyway my idea wasn't picked but that's ok it was still a pretty neat idea.

  Here is a list of things I found in a forum just thought I would share, just as an example.

Lightweight equipment

• Knife -  (cannot be collapsable they break too easy.)
• Fishing string, sinks, floats, and hooks - (use crickets roaches worms and other bugs as bait.) (styrofome makes a good float)
• Unlubricated condoms - These are great to have in order to store water since they are collapsable and very light.
• Flint and Steel - used to start fires

Clothes

• Tough baggy clothes - (Used army clothes work the best)

Optional

• A pistol - to hunt animals, probably dogs and cats if its post apocolyptic.
• sunglasses
• Hardcandy - for energy If you cant find food.

Tips for survival

• If you cant find water do not eat because it will make you thirstier
• Become nocturnal to save water since youll sweat less (this is a must if your traveling in the desert)
• If you find a place with damp sand and your really thirsty dig a hole and wait for the water to drain into the hole and use one of the condoms to put the water in and drink it then or save it for later.
• Drink water sparingly - judge the color of your urine if its dark then you are dehydrated and need something to drink.

Another thing you might consider doing is carrying a large clear trashbag. This is useful because you can throw a ton of grass leaves bush's cactus in there and leave it in the sun for a few hours and the moisture from the plants will evaporate and accumulate in the bag and youll have yourself some drinking water. (poke holes or cut the cactus in half so the water can evaporate easier.)
