What NOT to Put in Your Apocalypse Bug-Out Kit

November 5, 2008

(related to my other post)

No, I am not going More Crazy. I’m just still thinking about if I could make it during a disaster of the natural or man-made kind, along with getting back to the basics for the health of this Earth. The end of the world has just been put off four years, but just in case…

  • Too many pairs of underwear. Apparently humans can’t live more than than 3 days without water, so this means you’d either be dead or able to wash your panties.
  • Things you think would be good to have, but don’t know how to use. Or, learn/practice how to use them. Like finding distance with a compass, or fire-starting tools like The Flint and that Other Thing.
  • Electrical apparatuses. Your GPS, cell phone, and expensive emo stuff won’t work if the poo really hit. The only things techno-ish I would pack besides my cell phone (just in case) would be an older hand-crank short-wave radio and my vibrator, and extra batteries.
  • Heavy items, like your mom. Like a bunch of glass containers or books. Even if you could head to the hills with your vehicle, you might have to ditch it (what will you do for gas?) and walk to Canada. I know, just calm down.

Now, when I marry and divorce a doctor and get the settlement and property, then yes to a lot of glass containers (for the vodka distillery) and books (Goat Care For Dummies). Also, I don’t think I can live without my speakers, so yes to “responsible technology” for the running of the speakers and heating of the water.

    So if an earthquake rocks Seattle, we here in records would be saved by the ever resourceful KRus and her earthquake drawer! I think its admirable that you are building your own earthquake drawer, everyone should have one!

    I remember her drawer does not include pepper or clean underwear. There was that one time I almost had to ask an engineer for pepper, and we all know how that would have turned out (them looking perplexed and answering ‘no’ for a really long time and then pretending they’ve never seen you before).

    Don’t forget the time you searched the whole office for soy sauce! FYI its happened again. Someone around here really needs to add that to the earthquake drawer!

    I went out and purchased soy sauce just now because of that memory. I can’t believe my own lack of condiments.
