Lono -- "Now that you mention it, I do miss living in Minnesota." LOL!

Hard hat, vest, old jacket. Check. Good additions to the list. As for green-toothed critters, well, that'd mean I'd also need to get a window sticker saying "PET ALERT: FIRE/RESCUE PLEASE SAVE OUR MONSTER(S)".

Just for the sake of throwing things out there, I keep a pair of crocks and a pair of scrubs. When I have to get out of the house quick least I will be covered (neighbors will thank me later) and feet will be protected-ish. Grab the BOB, gun and keys and I am out of there.

My bed is close to the floor. There's just room for the crow-bar I keep there. It's about 2 feet long, and hopefully better than nothing if I have to dig my way out. If the bed collapses it may be inaccessible, but then I'm no worse off than if it wasn't there.

In the bedside table I keep 4 litres of water. Something to keep me going if I have to wait for other people to dig me out.

On the table I dump some of my core EDC. Specifically, my keyring, which I grab if I have to get up and go to the front door for some reason. It also has a whistle, small torch and suchlike. My EDC torch goes there too, and again that often gets used for non-emergencies. Finally, my mobile phone. I might get a call during the night, or I might need to call out. The phone charger is by the bed, too, so I often charge it overnight.

It's perhaps worth mentioning that my bed is positioned under a large window that is the emergency exit for the house. I'm on the second floor, but it opens onto a flat roof so it's a reasonable way out, at least if I have shoes.

The most likely natural threats for me are probably fire and tornado. We get very small earthquakes that are little more than a joke every few years. Maybe a larger one every 100 years. Tornadoes are more common, but only affect a small number of homes so you'd have to be really unlucky.

Nothing other than a Benelli Nova Tactical loaded with #4 buckshot. Now the bedside table is another matter altogether.

"bodies, LOL"

That's what the thing with the yellow eyes and the big green teeth is for.

Can't put anything under my bed...it's a captain's bed with pull-out drawers which contain extra clothes at the moment.
