Default Re: The One Hundred Items To Disappear Off The Shelves First

that`s a very good but long list..originally somewhere from blogspot? i guess. (good for a comfortable 1week period)
the list is very good as shopping list for emergency preparedness, may want to add a raft or inflatable boat (with repair kit for "in-water-repair") and a bottle of pressurized oxygen(oxygen mix)(with valve(to regulate airflow), mouth piece & goggles).
the trouble with the "100 items" list is, that it has too many items..once all has been bought one needs to decide which items go into the "emergency back pack" ("ready to grab and run" and therefore not too heavy, but still contains the essentials.)
in case of immediate evac (without car), most items in the list will have to be left behind except for whatever backpack was prepared with the absolute basic "need to haves": something to cut, to make fire, spare clothes(or at least a sleeping bag), something against the "weather"(raincoat/ garbage bags/roll of thin pvc or tent), string and/or rope,duct tape or better if possible,some water and food,small bottle of javel(to clean,disinfect and "purify" water), small first aid kit (with sturdy "tools"), a bloody good and compact survival guide, manual powered multiband radio/flashlight/etc (in one)..and whatever else considdered important which still can be carried..(because this is already a lot to run around with)

ps: (it is a good habit to always carry a small ziploc bag containing 1 pocket knife 1 lighter 1 small gauze pack (optional: paper money and a few coins for public phones)..all in all the size of a cellphone)
