If the shit hit the fan, what would be in your bug out bag?

If the shit hit the fan, what test equipment would be in your bug out bag? Lets assume you can only take what you can carry on your back... so no Tek mainframes. Also it should be water resistant, and also be able to survive EMI from a gamma ray burst, EMP, or solar flare.

As a kid I remember having a radio shack pocket multimeter, but I recall it wasn't really that reliable and the battery was always dead when I wanted to use it.

Why would you need a multimeter in a situation like that?

nbritton:
Power distribution and electricians work, such as wiring up solar panels, charge controllers, batteries, and inverters. Converting automotive alternators into generators. Testing batteries. Troubleshooting. Macgyvering.

If you can get access to any of this, you will have no problem finding a multimeter.

EEVblog:
In terms of a meter, just a small pocket meter (reminder for shootout video...)
In terms of power, one of those USB power banks and a solar panel (or one of those combined things)
Also a AA/AAA charger with Eneloops etc
