Do you have a "bug out" bag?

[llew]

nah, i live in wales so the only real danger is if the drains blocked (not likely) and it started raining (which is VERY common) but even then, i live on the top of a hill! but if anything DID happen i tend to keep everything i need on me anyway...

Nope. If I can stay in the house during the apocalypse/whatever I will. If I have to leave there's an outdoor supplies shop and a corner shop I can rob.

 

[Daverson]

I used to, but I had to empty it out for some reason, and I kinda forgot to refill it. Not that you really need one around here, in fact, come to think of it, zombies are probably the most likely hazard!

Though, I think the only useful thing I had in there was a compass, and even then, without a map, it's pretty useless.

Guess it's lootin' for me! =D

 

[The Lugz]

actually, i think i'd be surprisingly ok in most emergency situations as my laptop has a solar cell, i have an Arctic fleeced jacket and thermal leggings water bottles, and a filtering mask for cycling, i could reasonably dump a few protein bars and some toiletries and my backpack and be ok for a few days pretty-much anywhere

as for weapons or such, i have nothing immediately lethal but i do have a home-made taser
i could cobble a pretty nasty spear together quite quickly too

as for zombies, i put the chance of the next world wide emergency being zombies at under 1%

personally i'd go for flooding, earthquakes or super-volcano
maby mass rioting, or something

You'll probably find this brand new show full of ideas for your bug out bag.

Honestly, if I really had to think about this, I wouldn't prep a bag, I'd move into a high-rise fit for the rich and brimming with supplies, 28 Days Later style. Cut the power to the elevator and barricade the stairs if it were zombies, not only making it difficult for them to explore the place but also giving me many options for hiding. The odds of one getting through and finding the exact floor and room I'm staying in are slim to none.

This of course assumes that the zombies could starve and I could wait them out. If that were not the case, no idea what I'd do. All I know is I wouldn't kill myself, because the prospect of living in a world post-disaster would be too intriguing for me to pass up.

Speaking of 28 Days Later, I've thought of one change that could have stopped that movie dead.

So he wakes up in the hospital naked, like he's meant to, right? Difference is he wakes up with a penis catheter. Seriously, he'd just be lying there forever trying to work up the courage to yank it out.

OT: I haven't got a backpack, but I can name a few things I own that I would grab if disaster loomed:

Swiss army knife
Kukri
Phone
A beer/a coke (because... come on.)
A waterproof coat

If it was some sort of zombie apocalypse, add my shotgun and ammunition to that list.
A thermos (possibly thermos brand)

I have a small backpack that I carry pretty much every time I leave the house that has some useful stuff in it if it ever came to needing it. I carry two bottles of water, bandages, painkillers, a lighter, a magnifying lens, a small multi-tool and a couple of granola bars.If I were leaving from my house I also have a couple of rifles within easy reach that could be used to hunt food and plenty of ammunition for both of them.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Err but I do got a Swiss Army Knife! well ok I bought it since it's cool and I always wanted one but that will be the first thing I will pick up when such danger has arrived. Well ok I need a new one since the scissor is worn out and the blade itself is cover in sticky tape goo and I lost the toothpick!

 

[anteru]

I keep a kit like that in my car. just in case i ever get stranded somewhere i have supplies.

Rule number 1 of Swiss Army Knives: You will always lose the toothpick.

 

[Raregolddragon]

Yes I do 1 weeks worth of caned food and water in my car trunk at all times also a tent, shovel, propane heater/cooker, crowbar and a few extra items.

 

[Nouw]

Nope. I'm going to die a statistic, one of the countless millions that will die with the apocalypse. Why bother living with paranoia at the back of my head preparing for something that may never come when I can simply pass away as it is intended.

Me too. We can be zombie buddies.

Yay, zombie buddies! We will roam the Earth looking for braaains to eat.

 

[Duskwaith]

I have a pair of Ex-british army assult boots, heavy duty water proof trousers in camo along with a jacket, balaclava, plenty of tinned foods such as curry/rice, a collection of survival books, 3 specialist knives for outdoor survival, sleeping bag, ruck sack, an axe, first aid kit with extensive medications(thanks to my dads bad hip), 2 high powered air rifles+assorted ammunition and a tarpauline to create a basha. Ready to rock and roll when ready

Dont have any guns due to being part of the UK

 

[Jark212]

I'm in the U.S. Navy and have Navy Seals and SWCC on my base. And I was pretty much issued one when I got here.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I have a second house/room with emergency supplies in. I also used to have a 3rd set of supplies at my exes house when we were together...

Mostly just things like toiletries, but also a couple of knives/tools, and some uniform... so that I can be in correct attire in case of disaster...

(i'm talking real life disasters, not sci-fi, but could one day happen [] ones [looking at you zombies])

 

[Zen Toombs]

A friend of mine uses his wallet for that. He's got everything you could want in there for survival/miscellaneous situations, and I have no clue how he manages to fit it all in there.
