'Grab bag' campaign accused of scaremongering

So what would you put in your #GrabBag?

I don't want serious responses - you can fuck off and start a different thread for that!

For an unspecified emergency I would pack about 20 different outfits. I would need to because the emergency is unspecified, and I wouldn't know what I was dressing for. I'd also have to make sure I packed the minimum amount of make-up to go with all 20 different outfits, which is actually quite a lot of make-up, so the word 'minimum' is quite misleading. Other first-world problems would be toiletries. I don't really style my hair particularly, but I do need the right shampoo and conditioner, I'd be thankful for that in an emergency situation.

And nail scissors. Tourists are always asking for nail scissors, nail clippers and manicure sets around these parts, so I know that no-one can survive for long without such essential items.

A glass nail file, some Mango Peach mio, comfy shoes, waterproof boots, a couple of hoodies, an umbrella, a bottle of rubbing alcohol so I can keep my glasses smudge free, my battery powered electric toothbrush and toothpaste, my Kindle and charger for said Kindle, some Fenty matte lipstick since it lasts/stays on forever, a folding blade knife, a lighter, and some jalapeno/cheddar Cheetos. Guilty pleasure o mine. That's all a gal needs, right?

Edit: also a towel. Gotta know where your towel is

NO GUNS. It's not that kind of emergency. It's a British emergency.

But....but.. I'm a redneck. Every emergency is that kind of emergency.

What about knives? Can we have knives?

ETA: I did bring a kettle. Come on, lemme have one gun.

Right before anyone else tries to put a gun in their #GrabBag: NO.

This isn't an American emergency. We won't be rampaging around with guns shooting each other and going all crazy. It will probably just involve orderly queues, and rain, and queueing in the rain, and drinking cups of tea provided the WI.

You can only have a knife if the blade is less than two and a half inches long, and it looks inoffensive. Sorry, I don't make the laws.

I think for me it'd be:

My Smith & Wesson .22 revolver, Swiss army keychain, Sonicare toothbrush, liquid soap/deodorant, 3DS, my tea tree shampoo, razor and shaving gel (I look like ass with facial hair, trust me), Amazon Fire tablet.

Hell yeah on the electric toothbrush and tea tree shampoo. Good stuff

My Smith & Wesson .22 revolver,

Wouldn't some loo roll be more useful? Hopefully someone will have their priorities right because I forgot to bring some.

 

[MickeyLee]

I'm a redneck. I can wreak havoc with a spork!

When the queues goes chaos, y'all gonna want folks like me around.

I'll add a 12 pack o cottonelle two ply to my bag. Since I got a that non-gun space

Absolutely! I did forget that. I feel like such a Philistine now. I've never been the leaves and tree bark sorta guy...

And tea tree is awesome stuff. I love how cool it makes the scalp. I use it after shaving to curb the irritation as well.

No. We'll want decorum. And helpful volunteers to go and check on elderly neighbours.

Please can you pack the loo roll in a separate plastic bag to the tea tree oil. I'm sure it feels good on the scalp, but maybe not elsewhere.

Nothing wrong with rednecks! When civilization collapses, they'll be the rugged ones who still know how to fish, hunt, butcher game and live off the land. They deserve my respect.

If I tried to gut a deer, I'd probably puke my guts out in the attempt.

Please curb your enthusiasm. St. Johns Ambulance is going to be completely overwhelmed if you wreak havoc with a spork.

Excellent point. I once sprayed linimist (which is similar to tea tree in sensation) on my back from a pulled sore muscle and my back was still very sweaty, post workout. It trickled down into my crack and well.... let's just say there was a lot of colorful swearing minutes later!

Unless they're vegetarian rednecks.

Since we'll be in England, I'm gonna just pack my mood altering substances, my front-row tickets to see Adele at the Royal Albert Hall. Cuz after that happened, I will have died and gone to heaven.

Oh, and I'll bring some extra loo rolls. One can never have too much in case of an emergency. You are talking about toiler paper, right?
