What type of weapons? (Hey, this is a Free Republic thread)

More seriously, sunscreen. If you get a good location you'll probably be out in the full sun and partial eclipse for hours.

Chair, for exactly the same reason.

Entertainment. Book, music, videos or whatever else you need. The partial eclipse just isn't that interesting for hours.

My drive is a lot longer so I have a hotel room in Tennessee. The drive south will be easy then on Monday get up early, eat breakfast, get to a good site in the totality and wait until 1:30 CDT.

Thanks!

I decided no guns. It’s too much risk to take a gun.

Sunscreen is a good idea, I am somewhat sensitive to the sun, but hey, I can just wait in the car FOR THE TWO MINUTES I’M WILLING TO DRIVE FOUR HOURS TO GET TO!

Kinda stupid, don’t ya think!

Well, it is a once in a lifetime event. Truly. So it’s worth it.
