* Kathleen Martin in ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' v3 has spent years doing everything possible to prepare herself for the game just in case she's thrown in it, leading her to have many advantages in the game including survival techniques, knowledge of hand to hand combat, and skill in firearms. Some say the handler takes it too far and makes her rather overpowered, as her only ''disadvantages'' are that she's paranoid and nobody likes her. Though, there are signs indicating that she is a ''parody'' of this character type, especially since her handler has already created one such parody ([[DeadStarWalking Josh Goodman]]).

* All the family and (male) friends of the title character in ''TheSagaOfTuck''. Up to and including weapons lockers, emergency (rotated) food stores and bicycles modified to carry the wounded when cars are useless.

** Phase (Ayla Goodkind), To the point where a RunningGag is pointing it out:
*** When the Team Tactics instructors are checking the team in for the holographic simulation system, Phase has so many weapons and gadgets and devises in his utility belt that a Whateley Security officer calls him on it.
*** Among the items in Phase's utility belt are the equivalent of 'mad money' for the uber-rich: a handful of gems, rare stamps, and gold coins, in case he needed fast cash when he couldn't use his usual resources.
*** Aside from his holdouts, Phase also has plans for how to fight every major threat on campus, and most of the minor ones as well, including all of his teammates. Several plans for each, with contingencies for different combinations of weapons and teammates. This includes a plan for beating Lancer with no weapons and only [[GadgeteerGenius Bugs]] as backup.
*** Unfortunately, his favored plan for defeating [[PhysicalGod Tennyo]] backfired spectacularly: if it hadn't been in a holo-simulation, the entire Eastern seaboard of the U.S. would have been wiped out in the ensuing anti-matter explosion.

* At one point during ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', the party visits Percy's old hometown. Percy takes Vax and Scanlan to see if they can find help in an old temple, where they are then [[spoiler:ambushed by a banshee]]. Because of the nature of TabletopGames/DungeonsAndDragons, that detour was entirely unscripted, so when the DM pulls out a map of the temple, we get this exchange:

* From EverymanHYBRID we have [[KnifeNut Evan]]. Anyone who seriously keeps an ''emergency machete'' in a friend's car (without them knowing about it!) ought to qualify for this trope.

* Michael Swaim of ''AgentsOfCracked''. In one episode, he explains how he has knives, thousands of them, hidden everywhere. He pulls two knives out of his pockets, another from his slushee cup, and when he asks a government agent to check his pocket, there's a knife there.

* ''Literature/{{Pyrrhic}}'': For being stranded on an island with very little help and tons of his fellow students now being forced to try to kill him, Joshua takes it all in stride, having been trained for worse by his mentor Sister Grace. In fact, he's so prepared, going [[spoiler:deaf]] hardly counts as a setback in his mind. Because of his connections, he even has a seemingly innocent cross necklace, that can [[spoiler:transmit radio messages to his brothers, helping them track down his location.]] But before that, he even figured out exactly where they were in the world, despite having previously being drugged, based solely on his knowledge of plant and animal life, as well as the position of the stars in any part of the world. Likewise, the members of the Sons of the Constitution seem to be this as well, having planned to kidnap the students in Joshua's class for years, and probably would have gotten away with it to, with no one being the wiser, were it not for Joshua's message.

** Alo shows up in ''[[Film/NoobLeConseilDesTroisFactions Noob: Le conseil des trois factions]]'': [[spoiler:Sparadrap's player (Kevin) is introduced in the middle of the tennis game that could let him go professional and his opponent has a secret trick that enables him to hit the ball hard enough to break a racket. Given the stakes, the opponent is implied to plan to do this until Kevin runs out of spare rackets. After the first get broken, Kevin simply grabs a huge and obviously very sturdy racket]].

* In ''Series/{{Noob}}'' Sparadrap has a SuperPoweredAlterEgo-like situation as the younger and more competent brother of his usual player sometimes takes over the avatar. The opportunity is usually given by the usual player's lack of control on his bladder. In Season 2 finale, the younger brother need to take over the avatar urgently to fight a powerful enemy and can't just ask as the older is convinced to be the better player among the two. How this gets resolved? The younger turns out to have another computer besides the one he uses to control his own avatar stashed away.

It says no-one will use them, but if anyone ever does need a picture of a man in a rabbit costume weighing lettuce, a woman with bread as hat, or "a one-eyed accountant flashing 'East Side' while listening to an abacus", the people who made these stock photos have them covered.

* An impromptu musical number in ''{{Awkward}}'' has Alex garbed in a dress. Apparently it actually belongs to his actor. Why? Well, in case he should ever require a dress. (The fact that Franchise/{{Batman}} is his trademark favourite series is actually not much of a surprise.)

* In the {{SCP Foundation}} universe the Global Occult Coalition's standard course of action when dealing with reality benders is to have one person distract the individual while a sniper takes a shot from miles away with a .50 caliber sniper rifle. If that doesn't work, then the second sniper takes a shot, and so on until the target is eliminated.
* Fetus from ''Literature/NextBreedOfThief'' is heavily into body modifications which either conceal or can be converted into useful equipment. For instance, her ear jewelry at least contains telecommunications equipment and components of a soldering kit.

** There's also CJ who has a whole apartment building stocked with dozens of rifles stolen from the local Army Reserve base along with other kinds of weapons, ammo, how-to books, and various plans she's come up with. On top off all that she maintains an extensive network of safe-houses and gardens throughout Usefulnotes/LosAngeles for her to live on. It's worth noting that while she did have people with her at the start of [[ZombieApocalypse the outbreak]], she has been maintaining all of this ''by herself'' for several months.

* WereAlive has Burt who owns a gun store with a [[SurvivalistStash vault]] containing massive amounts of handguns, rifles, ammo and even ''claymore mines.'' He apparently "thought that whole [[MilleniumBug Y2K thing was some kind of take-over."]]
