If a catastrophe struck and you had to leave your home in a hurry (and never return), what items would you grab in your last ten minutes, and why?
1. Cat - Yeah she's my bastard animal child.
2. Laptop - It's small and would be a major lifeline to news if I'm stuck somewhere. Pending if there was wifi. Also I could waste time with it to keep me entertained.
3. Camera - Documentation of my experience.
4. Car - Only if I wasn't being flown out. Plus I can sleep in it and keep my cat with me if there's no hotel arrangements.
5. Clothing - Bare minimum and what would fit in the care without taking up a lot of space. Probably what would fit in a small luggage bag.
6. My really rare Spiderman comic book. (I can rebuild my $$ from that)
If I had time I would grab a duffel bag and throw my external hard drives with my photo's in them and various "must have" items that will fit. I also have my printed photo's under my bed in a container so if there was time I'd grab that too. I have a fire safe that's small but it can stay as it really only has documentation that's old and useless... I should put some more valuable items in there so I would want to take it. I'd also grab the snake. She's small and will easily be contained in a small pillow case for a while. Unfortunately I have a lot of collectibles and as much as it would pain me to not take them I have detailed pictures and documentation.
Not being able to return and leaving a lot of stuff behind isn't much of an issue to me. Take the essentials and I can rebuild from there. Long as I have my cat I'm fine.
