...containing such essentials as toilet paper, running shoes, spare keys, a torch, disposable gloves, adhesive tape, a transistor radio and sun cream before they leave home each day.
Wow! You could have fun with all of that stuff without ever leaving the house!

The Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, says citizens should pack a "Go Bag" containing such essentials as toilet paper, running shoes, spare keys, a torch, disposable gloves, adhesive tape, a transistor radio and sun cream before they leave home each day. She sure has different ideas about essentials than I do.....

McGyver could turn that stuff into a small electric generator.

A council website suggests that in the event of a bombing, earthquake or flood residents should carry their cats in “a cotton pillow case”.
The council only included that suggestion to prove they really do have a sense of humor...

"...in the event of a bombing, earthquake or flood residents should carry their cats in "a cotton pillow case"Oh, yeah, that'll work real well! You're trying to flee from disaster (wearing those running shoes you packed in your Go Bag), while you're clinging to wiggling sacks of cats...(What if you've got more than one cat? Throw 'em all in one pillow case? Riiiiight!)

Sure, a survival bag to help you survive a terrorist attack, but that doesn’t contain a gun, is a useless bag.

May I pack an actual torch in my “Must Carry Survival Bag” if I really, really want to?

I have a survival pack in my car. It has just about everything except water.

Guns and as much ammo as you can carry. If possible, keep plenty in your locker at work.
