End-Of-The-World Kit....what's in your kit?

[islandman]

I'm putting together a kit of things to have on hand should ebola wipe most of us out and what's left of society reverts back to the Stone Age. Assume that everything must fit into your garden-variety, Toyota RAV4 SUV.

I believe there are seven functional groups to the kit. Feel free to add your own as well as items under each. I'll maintain the master list in this OP.


1. Medical

2. Transportation

- rotary hand-pump (for siphoning gas from other cars/gas stations' underground tanks


3. Defense/Offense

4. Clothing & Shelter

5. Electronics

- Walkie-talkies (w/headsets)
- Solar battery charger


6. Foodstuffs

7. Miscellaneous

- tools (assorted)
- Duct tape


Discuss.

Maybe I should follow you around the playground so you can keep "handing me my ass" and show all your playgrounder friends how much smarter than me you are?

-anything to help your flagging self esteem, buddy!

 

[ryan8558]

walkie-talkie devices (at least 4 tuneable to the same channel) and batteries for them.

assuming end of the world the cell phones will not work.

Go ahead. Surely you don't think I care. I'll probably miss most of it, since I don't stalk your posts.


Peedrinker is back.

Dent liked to suck on the tasty corner of his towel. It served to calm his nerves.

GPS....

....oh, that's right, you're still using the sucky 'maps' AAPL spent a fortune developing. Let us know when you drive into a lake or volcano.

Walkie-talkies and a solar charger.

Got it.

Yes, if I drive into a volcano, I'll let you know.

The GPS will double as a compass, though, it can't hurt to have a mechanical backup. Plus, they don't take up much space.

Crossbow - fair point. Bullets will eventually be hard to come by.

Dog - Done

Goat - pass

Tools - check

Lighter fluid - excellent

Backpack - excellent

Captain Morgan - pass

Maybe not.

Most of the satellites have had their Ebola Vaccinations.

Are we looking for Saint Rose?

Duct tape is essential. Your ducts could fall apart, and there wouldn't be any practicing HVAC services in the yellow pages.

Please make sure all your Liberian tankers have their Registrations up to date before the EOTW.

 

[dolf]

pass on the goat?? but they give milk & meat, and can be grazed on a cliff face. also, they're smart, they're as good a guard as the dog, and they can be used as pack animals when you run out of gas.
