I think you and Will are both correct. I think it's time to redirect (aka: Hijack) this thread and put some thought to what we have as EDC and as BoB in order to assist in the response to this and other kinds of incidents that could call for assisting others AND to have what's needed for 24 hrs of being stuck in the city or just outside of the city, trying to get home, past roadblocks set up in response to an incident.

I am going to have to re-think some of my previous thinking.
