	Evecuation: What would you pack? Support Apolyton

I've been thinking of this question in recent years, first during the Kosovo war and more recently during the storms in souther US.

If you had 6 hours to pack and escape from a natural disaster, war or similar, what would you pack? You know your house will soon be rubble or in land controlled by enemy forces, so that you can't ever return, so anything left behind could be considered to be abandoned.

You'd pack them? As opposed to, say, take them in a car with you, and travel with them?

See, even you guys see them as property. I don't see why your property should be given special considerations.

Then buy the "semi-literate Scandanavian" edition.

Oh, and swap the second 'e' for an 'a'

Few clean boxers, socks and t-shirts

good backbag to fit this all into it with:
food
water
shotgun
handgun
ammo
knife
sleeping bag
cigarettes
lighter/matches
GOOD map
compass
good boots
raincoat
sunglasses
gasmask

Everything I own can be packed into a medium sized rucksack and a medium sized library. I guess I'll just leave the books.

In case of disaster I would put on the belt I always wear anyway and take my backpack before taking off.

the belt has always the following items hanging on it (otherwise its really just an ordinary thick black leather belt)

-1 mini maglite
-1 compass
-1 aluminium hook
-1 plasric hook with a powerful LED
-1 bottle cap opener
- Victorinox Ranger (21 tools)
-1,2 metres of strong metal chain

The backpack always includes the following items(samsonite trunck&co)

- A full certified Red Cross emergency pack with folium to keep warm.
- 20xpainkiller pills(ibuprophein 400mg)
- organ donation card(take whatever you need)
- 20x savett dispensers
- 20x salvequick adhesive bandages
- 100x caffeine pills
- the gideon new testament + psalms
- earplugs
- full AA batteries
- calculator
- 0.5 litres of water
- folding 10 cm knife
- pens
- paper
- markers
- duck tape
- small amount of cash
- luminous badges
- 25-in-1 Leatherman clone
- various other small stuff like 5 teabags, a hands-free set for the cell phone, eraser, flashing lights, matches etc.

This is how I'm prepared. The things in the backpack are packed tight so they wont take up much space.

CO, yeah but I don't consider the guns to be counted into it.. only what I'd have in my backbag... that would be 15 or under.

Everything else, sleeping bag, guns, stuff like that, then it's a bit more, but nothing I haven't done before . It's light pack.
