This is a 1-page list of useful gear - the sort of stuff you would find in a quick-e-mart, or a store that sells hiking gear.
I focused on the wrong thing on the title. I saw - "Loot Off Of Bodies" and "Post-Apoc" & through that - "when you find a dead body you find a story", especially in a Post-Apoc Setting.
However, there is no "context", nothing that says anything about the body. I expected something like - "worn but well cared for... ", or broken, or almost used up, etc. Something that says "post-apoc". Or, something that stirs emotions like "faded pictures of a woman with a sad smile", like that last a picture of Sara Connors from The Terminator. It is cliche, but it will catch the attention of Players.
It is all just "utilitarian" stuff to help the looters (PC's) slightly. I expected some inspirational, cool stuff. Really, I could go to the local truck stop, and write down a list items with more RPG potential. Actually, there is stuff there that would totally confuse and intrigue the type of Players I have, and their characters too.
This list is not very expensive, and if you don't have a hiking store near you, or an AREI Catalog, it can help you with some usefully random gear to give to the Players.
But if you can make something like "a ring" (one of the listings) intriguing to a PC, then you already have enough imagination to do without this list.
