Another thing to prepare for an escape is BE PHYSICALLY FIT. If you can't hunker down somewhere, you are going to have to run. If you're with a kid, you will have to run while carrying yourself, your stuff, your kid's stuff and your kid who weighs 40 pounds or whatever.


I cannot agree more. There are many other stories today of people walking out and ending up with sore muscles, blistered feet etc. Having even a minimal kit could possibly alleviate some of this.
