Just for arguments sake, the scenario has you limited to bugging out with only ten items or less, and there's a possibility along the way that you'll need to drop some of those ten. In order of importance, list your ten items. Your means of carry, either a backpack or lumbar pack or whatever, does not count in the ten. The batteries in your flashlight, or ammunition in your gun don't count, but spares do. The clothes on your back don't, but you should assume it's a normal day's wear. Normal items like wallet, glasses and watch don't count. Assume your cell phone won't work.

Comments on each item are welcome, but not necessary. I will try to compile an overall list of importance, based on each person's ranking, and maybe post in on a web page.

Here's mine.

1. Handgun
2. 32oz water in Nalgene bottle
3. MRE
4. Matches in waterproof container
5. Multitool - full size
6. Poncho
7. Roll of medical tape
8. Spool of para cord
9. Flashlight (LED)
10. Work gloves
