ok. I get it. I have such, but didn't call it that. it just seems practical in another country. in the US, it was pictures and important papers. how times have changed, sigh
I wan the looong list. is there a goto website you use, uncommon?

I have one too, I think it's a National Weather Service one. I would also add a password book too if you keep on.

Any medicine you require, and start stocking up on that now. It will not be available when the shit hits the fan :)

no, but new zoo revue does

Does "Hodge Podge Lodge" ring a bell for you? Saw romper room and thought of it for some weird reason.....

Good info, that, regarding phone book and other important lists of people. We have a radio that has a crank to power it up as well.

yes. What she said.

You don't have BOB? (Bug Out Bag) Think of it as this: you find out the Nazi SS (DHS) are coming for your block and you have about 5 minutes to grab the most precious material items you can think of. What would it be?

Hard commodities (coins of gold, silver, copper), a medical kit, passport, your ID, small to medium flashlights, a small firearm, $500+ actual cash, and some high-protein snacks. A pocket knife, a radio, spare batteries, wind-proof matches, gloves and your phone list of friends & family (you don't want THEM to get it would you?)

That should cover most of it. But realistically, you should be able to get this together in about 5 minutes time, depending on how organized you keep your stuff. (See my George Carlin post on "stuff".) =)

Yes, in such a scenario, you would have to take a huge loss, but what would you want to deny the bastards of the most? This should govern your preparation in making a BOB.

A bag with necessities to grab at a moment's notice, should the need arise. Clothing, sturdy shoes/boots, tool kit, batteries, cash, birth certs, etc.

what is a bug out bag? I think we need to hire kathy to get us up to snuff-

It certainly is, in many unexpected places. I have a small waterproof box of med supplies at the ready, and have done so since 9/11. I just go through it from time to time to make sure stuff is up to date. I believe there are some who have Bug out Bags?...

sorry, this post is a year old. I wonder what the task force in WY found?
