Evecuation: What would you pack?

[Chemical Ollie]

I've been thinking of this question in recent years, first during the Kosovo war and more recently during the storms in souther US.

If you had 6 hours to pack and escape from a natural disaster, war or similar, what would you pack? You know your house will soon be rubble or in land controlled by enemy forces, so that you can't ever return, so anything left behind could be considered to be abandoned.

You'd pack them? As opposed to, say, take them in a car with you, and travel with them?

See, even you guys see them as property. I don't see why your property should be given special considerations.

What is an evecuation? I can´t find this word on my Oxford dictionary

Then buy the "semi-literate Scandanavian" edition.

Oh, and swap the second 'e' for an 'a'

important papers, IDs etc.
first aid kit
Few clean boxers, socks and t-shirts
money
cell phone (if it should work)

good backbag to fit this all into it with:
food
water
shotgun
handgun
ammo
knife
sleeping bag
cigarettes
lighter/matches
GOOD map
compass
good boots
raincoat
sunglasses
gasmask

Everything I own can be packed into a medium sized rucksack and a medium sized library. I guess I'll just leave the books.
