What's in your bug-out bag?

[Barrister]

A chance to restart civilization without fucking grunge.

A civilization without grunge is not one I wish to be a part of.

You got yourself a deal.

[MadImmortalMan]

I guess I could be in that Oregon/Shasta circle in about an hour. 

[Valmy]

See? The mountains of Idaho. Every screwjob knows that is where you go to wait out the end of civilization.

[MadImmortalMan]

You can go to Big Bend. 

[Valmy]

You can go to Big Bend. 

Have you ever been to Big Bend? I mean it is pretty and everything but I wouldn't last long out there.

[The Brain]

The West Coast has been fried by Fukushima radiation I'm told, so how would it be better after a nuclear war?

[Berkut]

Where the hell are you gonna go? That's maybe more important than what you take with you.

Max has people in the way frozen north, where the caribou roam. Or something like that.

His brother runs a U-Pick farm northwest of Edmonton. The kids have the address to meet us there.

Somewhere with an extremely harsh climate seems like a pretty terrible place to survive a collapse of civilization.

Survive your hometown getting carpet nuked, make your way 400ish miles through hellish post apocalyptic wastelands, die 15 minutes after getting there because you stepped near a rattlesnake.

They're survivors with a farm outside the US. I'll take my chances. Besides, with global warming, we'll be fine in about five years, tops.

[Razgovory]

My brother-in-law kept buying bug-out bags.  Stupid motherfucker.

[Grey Fox]

Barb wire & a baseball bat.

I expect to have to kill a lot of people too.

[Duque de Bragança]

I hope to make it or be close enough to the crossroads of the world so I can reach my secret retreat.

You know Meri, if it's full-blown Global Thermonuclear War, I figure it's pretty much time to tell my wife and kids I love 'em and to start praying.  I live in the middle of a major-enough metropolitan city with significant industrial (refinery) capacity - there's no way we're not a target.

But... earlier this year there was a major forest fire that threatened Ft McMurray.  Because of the way the fire spread that day citizens were given no warning - they were told to evacuate the city immediately.  And so some of the news stories about what people took, or didn't take, were kind of funny.

So I kind of think that's the more interesting question.  Your house is on fire.  You have one minute to fill your "bug out bag" - what do you grab?

The nuclear winter will more than offset the global warming. Bring a jacket.
