In case of Disaster in ur home

[laurentius]

In case of disaster I would put on the belt I always wear anyway and take my backpack before taking off.

the belt has always the following items hanging on it (otherwise its really just an ordinary thick black leather belt)

-1 mini maglite
-1 compass
-1 aluminium hook
-1 bottle cap opener
-1,2 metres of strong metal chain

the backpack always includes the following items(samsonite trunck&co)

- 20xpainkiller pills(ibuprophein 400mg)
- organ donation card(take whatever you need)
- 20x savett dispensers
- 20x salvequick adhesive bandages
- 100x caffeine pills
- the gideon new testament + psalms
- earplugs
- full AA batteries
- calculator
- 0.5 litres of water
- folding 10 cm knife
- pens
- paper
- markers
- small amount of cash
- luminous badges
- various other small stuff like 5 teabags, a hands-free set for the cell phone, eraser, flashing lights, matches etc.

This is how I'm prepared. The things in the backpack are packed tight so they wont take up much space.

damn

the one thing that SHOULD burn in the fire

[laurentius]

I disagree

Dude, you can just pick one up for free in any motel.

[laurentius]

I know but this is the one I picked up from the army. I'm emotionally attached to it.

Not if it means that much to him it isnt.

Hey, that's really cool lauri. I'll bet you have many memories stored up in that bible.

Well, quite. Someone should throw a blanket over the fried cd. Nobody wants to see something like that.

Having an emergency backpack is a great idea. I always wanted to have one of those around.

[laurentius]

Yeah. Its not so much of a burden to be prepared like that. Look it as an invest that may save you or to someone else unprecendent amount of money/life/property. Its an invest with potentially huge returns and little costs

Anyway I should probably add a Victorinox and a proper first-aid pack to my backpack...

[Az]

And a handgun, and a couple of clips, too. :/

[laurentius]

nah, those might be worth considering in Israel but here its a bit excessive...

I just came back from the local hardware store and did some upgrading on my back pack.

[Az]

I am talking like a "civil war broke out" kind of emergency. You don't really need a backpack just if you have a fire- it actually won't help you at all. You'll probably go live with your relatives, or something.

First I'd grab the pants I was wearing before I went to bed, since they always have my wallet, keys, and albuterol puffer. If there's time, I'll even put them on.

There's a knapsack next to my computer. The smaller compartment has a few prescription meds and a couple gadgets, while the larger compartment is empty. None of the hard drives in my computers are secured with screws, and moving them from the computers to the knapsack is no more than five to ten seconds per drive.

If there's time, a few choice items follow the drives.

Knapsack on the back, camera bag on the shoulder, my twenty year old asparagus fern in my hands, and out the window I go.
