My other half thinks its strange that I have a go bag, she thinks its so I can do a runner from her but it has stuff for us both in it.

I have always had one because of the time I spent on boats, and the random emergencies that have happened around me in the past.

If you don't know what one is, its a small bag full of useful stuff that you might need in an emergency. I keep it in the house and just forget about it.

In mine I keep:

Duck tape.
100ft of paracord.
2 t-sts.
4 socks.
Mult tool.
Flares.
£500.
Torch.
Waterproof matches + bit of rubber inner tube for waterproof kindling.
Pen pencil and paper.
Lock picks.
Small FM radio + batterys.
Hip-flask with whisky 50% so it can burn as well.
Super glue.
Spoon.
Sweets and chocolate.
Tiny water filter.

So am I just a paranoid idiot or do you keep a go bag, if so what do you have in yours?

If you live in the UK, I'd say you were a bit strange too. Sorry.

Do you keep it in the cellar under your house, alongside a year's worth of tinned food, a chemical toilet and an M-16?

You're a 'prepper'

Sounds like a good thing to have, once the zombies rise you'll survive while we'll all fancy having brains for tea.

You need zombie weapons too.

Hmmm..... I think that unless you are a member of a secret service or being hunted by some serious undesirables that probably qualifies you as being a nutter! wink

You have £500 in a bag that you "just forget about"?

What possible emergency could entail you running for said bag and it's contents?

If you need cash, I can understand having a bit in the house but not that I would just "forget about"

Major, judging by your post in the nearly died thread and now this one, I'd guess you've been nuts almost your entire life? frown
