What Do You Take?

[KillerGriller]

(Scene) The world goes to shit...zombie apocalypse/bio-engineered virus/collapse of any/all governments...your family/loved ones/gf/bf/bff/friends are in the car waiting to head out to what-ever-hideout you've agreed upon...you have 30 seconds...when/if you run back into the house..what do you grab?(/scene)

30 sec, no cheating, let's keep this realistic. Will? money? laptop? scrapbook? weapons? Medications? Food?

What. Do. You. Do?

[Loren Wade]

Haha. http://nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?9271-Oh-snap!-Zombies!

...but my camelbak, Vibrams, and clothes on my back.

[GreenEyesBright]

Phone charger/phone, pocket knife, fishing poles/tackle box, lighters, and toilet paper. With all those undead around, it might be the only thing that keeps me feeling human.

Multi-tool, hatchet and crowbar. First aid kit. Photo album. My 'go' bag (habbit from short notice work trips - contains basic clothing and toiletries)

[AlohaSAV]

Standard: GUNS AND TOILET PAPER.

But if I had *more* time ... food/water (and important related crap like can openers!) and first aid kit

[oystergirl]

My hori hori, filter water bottle, a jar of coconut oil, some butter, grapefruit seed extract and a first aid kit--oh, and subzero sleeping bag and cold weather gear and shoes--even if its hot out--you can always take off clothes...

kind of laughing at the idea that there will be electricity during the zombie apocalypse!

[Atalan]

Camping gear, which is currently still packed and conveniently located right by my bow and arrows and a couple of 8 foot fiberglass poles, so I at least grab the bow and arrows.

[GreenEyesBright]

Oh honey, solar panels... give me a small town library filled with plenty of diy books and I'd be able to figure out how to rig anything. And theres always shortwave radios as well. One way or another technology will be used, even if its in unconventional ways.

Rubik's cube.

[ZenGwen]

My bug-out bag. Backpack in the cupboard packed with water, protein bars, £150 cash, first aid kit, self-charging flashlight, self-defense spray, clean panties and socks, two lighters and a multitool. I'd probably grab any other protein bars/portable food from the cupboard, and the Louisville Slugger from the umbrella stand in the hall.

EDIT: If I had time/space/transportation, the sleeping bag and tent from under the bed, too.

[Rosie]

Go to the tool box under the stairs, grab a hammer, rope, screwdriver, torch, pliers. Put my running shoes on at the front door and then leg it!

[UncleTone]

30 seconds eh?

Bug out bag, rifle, handgun, and as much as ammo as I can carry.

I will have to scavenge anything else, but with a zombie apocalypse I am sure people won't mind if I borrow some things from stores along the way.

[Morrigainz]

My ticklish blankie that I've had since I was a baby.

I don't have any guns or anything at home, so...blankie it is

[ducatisteve]

Prepared bugout bag. Among its other contents, the most important are:

First aid kit

Katadyn Pocket Water Filter

AA LED Flashlights

Tarp

Backpack Food

Swedish Firesteel

Socks, Underwear, Compact Thermals

.22LR Ammunition

Outside of the bag are a .22LR pistol and rifle. I like .22LR because ammo is cheap and most importantly very lightweight when carrying thousands of rounds.

[Book]

Every baseball bat I can find. Good running shoes. Beef jerky. Full Camelback.

I'm not sure that surviving such a thing is high on my priority list. I'm either going out in a blaze of glory, or I'll meet up with a group that needs someone who can swing a heavy bat.

[AuroraNorth]

Dogs, bug-out-bag, weapons and books.

[NotBadForAHuman]

My dogs. Anything else I need, I can scavenge on the way!

[GreenEyesBright]

Which leads to the question.. do you go it alone or look for a group? Personally I'd be looking for a nice fancy boat with a tank of fuel. I'll eat fish for a few months lol.

As many guns and as much ammo as me and my kids can carry, dogs, food...if I have a spare moment, boots, shoes, jackets, blankets.

Group or alone? Hubby and I have actually already planned pretty well where we would meet if TSHTF, and it's already supplied pretty well for hunting, fishing, food, etc. There would be one other family there, close friends of ours.

[gerbilOFdoom]

My bug out kit, which includes enough food for several days, water filtration, weaponry, camping supplies 'n such.

[Bean]

Only one item - my MacGuyver knife. Surely I can do anything with that!

[DaveSix]

I really need to put together a bugout bag.

It depends on the situation. I am married, so of course we will be together, but I don't know about meeting up with others. It would depend on what they had to offer and what I lacked.

[scotticus]

Wife, daughter, bugout bag, blundstones, camera with telephoto lens.

I like your essentials list. Tarp, Water filter, fire steel, and a Ruger 10/22 are definitely on mine as well. Also, hatchet, foldable camp saw, and solid hunting knife of some sort...
