It seems that no matter what the reason for running is, if you are running, the list of things you need is pretty fixed.
Yep. And the things you need to shelter in place are mostly the same whether you are faced with a Zombie uprising or a bird flu epidemic.
Personally if I get a 2am phone call saying "
They're onto you. Flee now," I'm going to grab my bag and get out of the house in a flash. When I'm a few miles away I'll maybe stop and think whether it might have been a wrong number.
