It was pointed out on the 'Evacuation' thread that if you forget to take your BOB, or simply are unable to take it for some reason, you're dependent on what you're carrying on your person.
This was brought home to me last night.
Women especially, are used to carrying all their important 'stuff' in their purse. No purse, no stuff.
Yesterday morning, in broad daylight, a woman down the street disappeared. Her car was parked in the front yard (not in the driveway), the driver's door was wide open, her purse, keys, cellphone, dog and coffee were in the car.
She didn't have a thing to work with, no weapon, no tool, nothing useful.
