Are you prepared? Got your emergency grab bag ready?

[8115]

If there’s a proper full-on emergency, why would I leave my house? I’m safer there than anywhere else. I’m not some urban victim of city terrorism or river-flooded valley dweller. I’m in the hills and surrounded by safe, empty land. My biggest worry is fighting off the hordes that will be trying to move in.

And if I’m not at my house, how am I grabbing this house-bound grab bag anyway?

Bullshit. Everyone knows you head for the hills.

“Very funny jokes” ..................... if you are stanning on Peter Sutcliffe perhaps

Erm, OK. Rough one to start with. Have a look at his other stuff. He’s not politically correct. Very good at identifying edibles in the UK.

 

[Proper Tidy]

So am I, I buy them from the food aisles of supermarkets

Looks pretty clever from a quick glance, though come the Brexopalypse I’d probably be looking to one of the many thousands of abandoned buildings for my gaff.

I leave a tent and a change of clothes in my car, but the tent is there because I can't be bothered to take it out. The clothes got stuffed in when my kid puked up on us one day - seemed like a fair idea.

I always have ibuprofen and a can of deodorant in my glove box so I could survive at least a rough morning

 

[Don Troooomp]

Forgot, I do have a grab bag at home.
My tablet is always next to the bed at night and my cash, cards, keys, and other stuff is always in it. I might very well be naked until I get to the change of clothes in the car, but I'll have my tablet.

What if you live on a hill?

What if you live on a hill?

You're green because you don't use any fuel to get there.

Er...

I’m in the hills

 

[danny la rouge]

Er...

Good, good. Clear sight lines of the approach roads?

Was that meant to be fall?

I’m just passing on the preparation advice. It’s not the thread’s fault if you find yourself out and about in the wilds of Croydon without your grab bag.

Come on, people, this is September. Preparedness month. You don’t want to get to Halloween still as yet unprepared.

 

[Poi E]

Drugs, guns. Can have fun and get everything else you need with those two essentials.

Oh...I
Oh...I getting it now...‘Spoons running out of beer?
Heavy bag to carry...and quite clinking.
Gonna have to think this through.
Fuck...there really could be civil unrest.

A stash of sovereigns sewn into a belt, a silk escape map, and a stiletto up one's sleeve. And that's just for a rough night in Weatherspoons.

They don't issue special forces or pilots or others who might end up behind enemy lines sovereigns anymore. As no proof they are useful and they always seem to go missing as well.
"They were in my bag in the landrover that blew up"

It's a nice idea ,should get round to it one of these days. Not exactly feeling the need to evacuate anytime soon though.

Back in the War, my Grandad used to say the only bomb you needed to worry about was the one with your name on it.

Though he mostly said this to wind up his neighbours, Mr and Mrs Doodlebug.

And the village has enough weaponry to barricade and hold its few approach roads for quite a while. Apocalypse now.

Access to tinned and dried foods, medicine? Also, what will you do with the bodies? If left to rot in their beds, survivors will quickly succumb to disease.

All this kit is gonna need some lugging about.
Not sure all the other punters in 'spoons will appreciate this?

 

[danny la rouge]

You need a camper van.

Middle class village — we have doctors and chickens

Appreciate it? It was purpose designed for 'Spoons. Why waste drinking time and calories by having to leave your chair for a toilet break?

 

[geminisnake]

I do not need a grab bag, I have everything I need/want in my house, which is well above the tide level, not in an area prone to weather weirdness and not likely to need evacuated from.

 

[geminisnake]

Has anyone got any skins?

Always, I buy 4 packs at a time

 

[brogdale]

Grab bag wankers!

I'm putting me Bishop's under a 'lean-to'.

Yup toilet rolls and skins will be the new paper currency come the apaperless

The rest of us will be tucking into our pre-packed snacks while Pickman's model pisses around trying to catch and smoke a fish

Smoke a fish…? Is this some new hallucinogenic thing, like licking toads…? Any particular species…?
