"Where are we supposed to go with our Go Bags? With our current public transport system, the roads would be clogged within minutes."Exactly. That's why you have storage at home.

Joking aside, who's winning this war? We're adjusting our lives to behave like the Russians, the Poles, the Germans, the Brits
during World War II, that was an actual war, acknowledged as such by all parties. A fine mess, Stanley!

Well, it looks like you DO know how.

Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
(Note: If you look at Slim Pickens’ lips during the last line, he actually says Dallas, but given the recent Kennedy assassination, the makers dubbed over Dallas with Vegas. Also was supposed to have its first test screening on November 22nd, 1963, but again because of the Kennedy assassination, release was pushed back to January 1964.)

"In a Real Emergency, it may be better to also have a small number of 1/10th and 1/4 th ounce gold pieces. Gold is far better palm grease than paper money anyday." I prefer old US dimes & Quarters (real silver) for small change and Kugerrands for 'heavy lifting.'
BTW, you can buy 'old' silver coins at many coin shops, they're sold by the pound.

A water purifies and water purification tablets and a Nalgene bottle.
Instead of canned food, do the dehydrated stuff like you can buy at camping stores. My kids tell me the eggs and peppers are pretty nasty. Their favorite is pasta in meat sauce. It’s pricey but weighs a lot less than cans.
Don’t you camp?

Course, another solution is to not live in a big city.
If anything big happened there, it wouldn’t affect our little, well armed town more than twenty miles from even a little city.

Three packs Blood Stop
I’ve seen two kinds. One is a powder. The other is formed into a sponge-like material. The best part about the sponge-like one is you don’t have to worry about accidentally breathing it.
What kind do you prefer?

A plastic bag would be much more efficient and double as groceries.
The cats or the bags?
