We had a power failure a few days ago that lasted nearly 16 hours. Power is pretty reliable here. There are occasional random dips, but I only recall two extended outages in the last 10 years and both lasted less than an hour. It never hurts to be prepared. |

There are only a few countries where this is relevant, if something happened in the UK I've got nowhere to go, and the local rabbit population is not going to keep 150,000 people fed for very long. So say this was the USA, and you needed to get from a city to a safer location 50 miles away, why carry a bag full of equipment? The first day is going to be simply walking out into the countryside, so just pre-bury anything you might need for the next day in a barrel 10 miles away. Repeat every 10 miles |

There will be thousands who wished they had water, food, and way to keep there flashlights and phones charged. --- End quote --- Do the Canadians like Americans have non-tivial power blackouts on a regular basis? Its humorous to see the reports (including new media) of people sitting in their cars with the engine idling so they have somewhere warm and power for the mobile devices. |

I would want medical iodine in my go bag for the occasional dirty bomb to saturate my thyroid. |
