Watching the news tonight, and they were concentrating on communities of northern Japan that weren't wiped out by the tsunami. Apparently there's a complete loss of infrastructure support. No piped in water, electricity, or natural gas, and they're out of gasoline. I presume that heating oil and sewer service is out of commission too. The roads to the shelters are also, apparently, not car passable since many of the refugees are arriving on foot.

Assuming the above scenario were staying put is no longer an option: What gear do you take and how do you transport it?

Documents necessary to reestablish life
Irreplaceable item (wedding album)
Camping gear
Food/water

Garden cart or modified bicycle (Remember the bikes that were used to transport supplies along the Ho Chi Minh trail during Vietnam?)

Also: Sneakers vs work boots?
