Whoa.. OH Cute One.. that was quick.! I don't have 5 items yet & I wrote the question

Sounds like Annie has been there before

I had to make a big decision do I take hair dryer and straightener but relies there won't be power. Lol

Hair products !!! I can't even pretend to do with it...

What does this say about US, or the East Coast mentality....? that we don't have a list yet?

It says we're screwed, up sh**'s creek, canoeing without a paddle...

You can DX the clothing...no one around - you don't need em! Plus it makes rescue a lil more interesting!

What about sunburn?

Now, I'm obsessing over CHOCOLATE!!!
I eat 2 squares of dark chocolate, every morning (anti toxin & caffeine).
But...but...1 bar is 1 item...!
And chocolate melts!

1 Knife
2 Spool of paracord
3 Hatchet
4 Fishing line
5 Box of fish hooks
6 Cast net
7 Small stainless steel cook pot
8 Spoon or "hobo" tool
9 Bottle of aspirin
10 Snorkel and mask
11 Machete
12 Entrenching tool
13 Duct tape
14 Vegetable seeds
15 Flint & steel fire striker tool
16 Emergency blanket
17 Pair of pantyhose (for use as filter or seine - not cross dressing)
18 Tarp
19 5 gallon bucket
20 Toothbrush

My alternate list has just two items:
1. Sat phone
2. Big boat

Stay in the shade...you do most of your work at dusk and dawn...and when you got the full moon - at night.

All right, you reeled me in. I'm going to ask. Why do you need a 5 gallon bucket?

Vegetable seeds. Brilliant. This way, you will always have food.

Many uses...collect/carry/store water via fresh water source, rain, or condensation. Hold your fish and crabs til you're ready to cook em. Move sand and dirt for shelter or other construction projects.

Need more reasons?


seeds!

Sorry sun cream I meant sun block. I don't want to go by myself. Can I jump in with you guys. Please?

It also says that we have no survival skills.

I do have a copy of "Social Chaos Survival Guide". That will come in quite handy. It has all sorts of tips about edible vs. poisonous plants, potable water, etc. I am just not sure I want to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

You can as long as you realize you will spend a lot of time running!

Annie, I will share Feller with you. He is the brains in this survival game.
