I just had to laugh on this one. I was reading the thread in flat mode and quickly reading down the page, and I'm paraphrasing here--

"Quick, get out of the house NOW!!!"

Ironraven says, "I'd grab A,B,C and I'm out of there."

Norad45 says, "And I would grab X,Y,Z and I'm gone."

Last message--

JIM says, "Wait...what kind of emergency? You need different stuff for different situations..."

That was a classic series of posts. Sorry, JIM, I don't mean to pick on you, but in the short time you've been posting, I know you're really excited about this stuff (that's great!) and it sounds just like you. I can just imagine JIM scratching his head by his front door trying to figure out what kind of emergency it is so he can gather the best gear to take as the mudslide/firestorm/tornado/comet/natural gas explosion/what-have-you destroys his house.

I guess that's the whole point of that TV show. When you gotta go, you gotta go NOW, JIM! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
