post apocalyptic scouting

So, the apocalypse has happened and you set out to wander the wasteland. How exactly do you manage to effectively travel anywhere or locate anything that wasn't around before the apocalypse without the benefit of a Pipboy/other mapping magic that that points you to stuff that has been built since, or distances being compressed by a factor of 1000 or more (since in reality the entire New Vegas map is only a few times the size of the real world town of Goodsprings).

    Move only at night using night vision to move around and thermal to spot/scan your surroundings. Otherwise you hide during the day.

      That doesn't solve the much larger navigation issue anon, and it introduces the problem that you're now constantly burning through batteries without the logistical backing that soldier who normally use that gear have. Consider that thermal monoculars are quite power hungry and will burn through CR123s at the rate of one every 45-90 minutes assuming you aren't using a monocular with a non swappable internal battery. That's a lot of batteries that you won't reliably be able to replace or messing with power banks that who knows when you'll have another chance to recharge to hook your monocular up to.

        a thermal scope can last around 8 hours. Also you can charge the batteries during the day or get a water turbine to charge them when you place it in a stream with a current.

              Here's reality: practically no violence, everyone is concerned with their own business and plans as much as possible, like homesteading in 1700s Midwest US. You have a plot, plan and home, and you don't stray too far from it if you can avoid it.

                So do you have anything to say or is screaming about fallout in denial all you've left?

                Being more explicit:

                Florida isn't currently like Yugoslavia. I can confirm this first hand since I'm not in a militarily blockaded city without access to basic utilities.
                If eotwawki is every city I don't live in being militarily blockaded and basic utilities destroyed, then I welcome it. Urbanoids get what they deserve.
                However that seems to be impossible due to the number of cities vs. The number of the entire world's military assets or how those assets would be organized if there was no rule of law.
                But not that has to do with anything... except the fundamental premise of how the entire planet would turn into exactly like being in Grozny during that particular conflict.
                Your premise is totally irrational, that's my point.

                And coming back to the fact that some truck driver (or ROTC flunkie) pretended that his "military service" provided any useful insight into shtf, then immediately deflected to OTHER PEOPLES reporting of something that happened LIKELY BEFORE HE DRRW BREATH ON THIS PLANE OF REALITY, shows how little they had to add to this discussion.

                Nahhhh, that had nothing to do with it. If that was the case the root cause of the situation would clearly have been the TOTAL MILITARY BLOCKADE OF THE CITY you know THAT THING THAT ARE NOT NATURAL IF YOU DIDNT NOTICE

                Without hideous outside pressure, like, perhaps, a total military blockade and intermittent indiscriminate shelling, people would really rather have electricity, running water, and the ability to buy food.

A decent bullshit detector is a must have if you are serious about living through whatever catastrophe you are worried about. Its not the Fallout (tm) raiders you should be worried about. Its the sketchy guy with a story that doesnt add up trying to get you to meet him at a prearranged location for water/food/meds/ammo and ripping you off

      Japanese post apocalyptic works generally portray society sticking together and rebuilding rather than just ceasing to function and everything ending. I suppose that's the difference between a country where people in their mid 80s (or about 5% of the population) are old enough to have witnessed the country being ravaged by war with 34 major cities being at least half destroyed, before considering the 2 nukes, and a heavily individualistic country where as of 2010 41% of the population believed the biblical apocalypse would happen and free them from their worldly troubles of existing among all those sinful gays and people who smoke weed by 2050.

      The Japanese in general are extremely adverse to direct conflict, and especially physical conflict, all their conflict is basically woman-tier talking behind each others backs passive aggressive sort of shit. So it's not surprising they have a hard time picturing an apocalyptic scenario that involves bandits and shit.

    The real answer, like with anything, is using your brain.

    Staying out of sight as much as possible while also foraging for edible material is probably going to be plan A.

    As for determining locations, you already inherently know to some degree where people like to put things, malls near residentials, industrial off in the outskirts, ect.

    Being able to tell your direction and time from the sun's location is also pretty important.

    The mind needs to be exercised like any other muscle. Go outside without your phone and get lost now while you have the benefit of a relatively polite society.

    Remember to stay polite, even after the apocalypse.

    You have all day(s) to travel(because you arent playing a video game), 10 miles/day is easy if you are following a road, even with a pretty heavy pack. If terrain permits, you can use a cart, or if you can manage something like a pack animal, even more load and speed are available.
    Remember that people got around before cars and poor people got around without animals as well, humans are pretty good at walking.

        So mark changes in the map yourself. Swap notes with people you meet.

        How do you think the world got mapped out in the first place?

    I am not saying its the greatest plan but upon finding the safest home shelter/base (assuming im not full hobo, in which case just skip the parts where I go back home) I'd try my best to just forage as much as I can as quickly as I can food wise. Sticking to roads/landmarks with the assistance of a compass and notebook is helpful too. Essentially try and get as many days worth of food as I can in a building to building arrangement then take it stupid easy during the intervening days only venturing out to check for signs of disturbance around my area. once I have like 1-2 days worth of food left I try again and see just how fricked I am after 7 days. I am assuming lots of people died though

      unironically this plus learning to read a paper map. Just make sure the people you're asking aren't mean-looking Black folk decked out with tactical gear or half-naked methheads.

    The reality is a lot of the same things they do in that anime. Travel to where people are, buy an updated map of that area when possible, ask people in the area for directions if you don't know where you need to go, and if you get separated from someone without knowing where they're going you're rather fricked. If you're exploring like Fallout, it's going to be over a relatively small area while they're passing through, like they do when they scavenge for supplies.

      Before mobiles people would prearrange a meeting place and time in case they get separated.

    even a few weeks after an apocalypse most psychopaths would have already been killed leaving a mass of normies who just want to rebuild their lives

    the idea that you are going to go around shooting people in a fallout style scenario is complete bullshit. after an initial bloodbath people will become ridiculously sick of raiding and psychopathy. Things will probably actually be safer mid term after an apocalypse, more like the American frontier

    Who needs maps when you're constantly on the move? Unless you need to navigate through a large urban area

      >>OP poses an interesting question that hasn't been done to death
      really how? more than 90% of mankind will die in case of an apocalypse, maybe 95%, an asteroid impact,a big yellowstone eruption, gamma ray burst, nuclear war etc billions will die of hunger, disease and tearing eachother apart. The only who will survive are the one who will addapt and the strong in body, mind and soul.
      Traveling and carrying things will get done like in good old days, with horses.
      OP never wanted to talk about it, he want to talk about his garbage anime because he don't enough attention on /a, so he spam like a troony everyone on this website

    Wouldn't you do exactly what they do in the anime?
    You use existing paper maps and update them with info from local settlements or other travelers

    Really just talk to other people. Also intersection for locating something in the distance that isn't marked on your map.
