For the longest time I thought TEOTWAWKI was some Anasazi God overshadowed by the ever popular KOKOPELLI. Then somebody explained it was 'The end of the world as we know it.' Gear is called Kit in the U.K. and 'Chris' Junk' by my family and friends. If you need to order medicines, you FAX a list for your FAK, or first aid Kit. PSK is of course Personal Survival Kit, aka Pretty Small Kit by pessimists. most of this stuff comes via the LBTOJ, or little brown truck of joy ( UPS)
