( I would no more depend on the company I worked for to keep me alive than I would go into the desert stark naked in 120-degree heat. Depend on someone else's (lack of) common sense? Not me. )


I agree with you Susan

( Your friend may not want to be seen as overly concerned that he's not in civilization any longer, so small pocket carry only would be a much easier sell. Anything that needs to go on a belt or in a pack of any size would be a non-starter. )

Well, Russ, from what I heard from another engineer who went there, no one there cares if you wet your pants and go around with them wet. It's WORK-WORK-WORK type environment.

My friend is just like most people in the society, who don't think anything serious will happen. I have already givenm him a small LED flashlight and he didnt even take it with him. He could have put it in his bag with his clothes and toothpaste, but he didn't.

Oh, well.

That's why I have not told anyone what I am hiding in my office. The minute we lose power or something, everyone will be asking for the flashlight or light stick.

I can tell by the number of people using my cell phone charger.
