for giving "weapons". equip the axe yourself. then "call" a survivor. then right click again and you will have an option to give or swap weapons. but you dont need to do all that to get them to chop wood/. just drop the axe, and then order someone to chop wood. they will take it themselves

to "give" them food water or armor. you call them over, have the food water or armor (unequipped) in your main inventory, and you will have options to "Offer" them food/water and to give them armor.

For anything else, if you want them to just "Hold" something, you'll have to bring them into a room, drop said items, and tell them to Order -> loot room -> and choose the category of what you want thme to carry. might be troublesome getting them to pick it up if there is many other items of same category in said room/building.

I would suggest if you want them to "carry" a lot of various stuff for your, to put it all in a bag, then drop the bag in a building and order them to loot room for "Container" category items. then they will eventually pick up that bag after looting the building.

i'll try to remember to add a better way to get them to just "carry" stuff at some point when im less busy, cant do much now thoufgh

Sorry to necro, but I too would love to know how to re-outfit my people in b40.43. Haven't had any streakers spawn, but I would like to outfit the ladies with clothing more suitable for the apocalypse than skirts.
