I'm logical and calm but funny in a gentle way in a crisis. Can I come and live with you?
May or may not bring several humans and dogs
Are you prepared? Got your emergency grab bag ready?

My father in law has many such bags. Tents, tools, kits, devices, generators, water purifiers, the lot. Suspect come the Zombie Apocalypse he'd be round ours in about twenty minutes in his Landrover and we'd be heading for somewhere remote

A friend of mine recons the main apocalyptic event to prepare for is a pandemic. If it's at all survivable. Stay at home without any contact with anyone other than your household for about 6 weeks. So food and water and barricade yourself in. No bag required.

Ah, planning to attract Frenchmen on bikes to your door, so you can rob them!

Given where you live, forest fire would be the obvious one. Flooding would be another - you might have to evacuate to another location nearby, or go to a location much further away. It's not necessarily that your house would burn down or be flooded, it's also about where services (like food, medical support etc..) can be delivered.

My main issue is that my emergency items are in the wrong place. When there was masses of snow my wellies were in the car and I had to get to the car before I could use them.
Likewise in the case of flood, the car is just where I keep them.
Most of my emergencies revolve around wellington boots

I can think of an easy way to solve this problem WeltMy main issue is that my emergency items are in the wrong place. When there was masses of snow my wellies were in the car and I had to get to the car before I could use them.

If I move them to the house, I will probably be in the car when the axe falls !!

"So picture this. It’s a bona fide emergency survival situation. You are holed up on your home and living off of the emergency preparedness supplies you stored. And you’ve got one heck of a hankering for some yummy melted cheese. But you’re just not in the mood for the Velveeta, that nasty powdered stuff, or the “squirt” kind of cheese. You want a good solid bite of a yummy Parmesan, or Swiss, or a sharp cheddar. (I’m making myself drool even as I write this.) But hey, cheese doesn’t store for a very long time, right? Well, in this case, I’m happy to tell you that you’re wrong. And if you’re a true cheese addict, then you’ll be happy to hear that you’re wrong for once, right?
So here’s the good news. You CAN have your favorite cheese on hand, even in an emergency, and even though no stores are open and you have no access to electricity. All you have to do is buy the hard blocks of cheese that you want now in order to have them stored for up to the next 25 years. Cheese wax prevents your cheese from developing mold or bacteria and it keeps the moisture in. Simply use a combination of dipping and brushing with a natural boar's hair brush to apply the melted cheese wax liberally to your block of cheese, let it harden, and then, VOILA – you’ve got your wish. Cheese treated with cheese wax will store for up to 25 years at a mild to cool temperature. Sure, it will continue to age. But it sure won’t get moldy! (And even if it does in parts, you can simply cut off that part, and re-wax over it.)"

Easy solution.If I move them to the house, I will probably be in the car when the axe falls !!
Just keep the left boot in the car and the right one in the house...

I suppose if I really though the four horsemen of the apocalypse were actually really imminent, I could get two pairs of wellies!

He's a highly intelligent guy, well into his retirement now, worked in computers all his life. Travelled and worked abroad for extended periods of time. A sponge when it comes to all kinds of theory, and it seems quite accurate in his ideas.How did he know this?

Course this aint a bad pandemic yet. Electricity's been on all the time, water still running. No bands of starving marauders to hide from.
I've always thought that The Road was probably the most likely depiction in modern culture of the end times for humanity.

I think, after SARS and the near-miss that was swine flu. a lot of people (me included) started to wonder what a completely out-of-control epidemic/pandemic would look like.How did he know this?
I guess we got to find out
