Halloumi!

A colleague of mine just attended an anti-terrorism training day. One of the things the cops suggested businesses and organisations might want to do for their employees is to produce emergency grab-bags that they could use if they were faced with a catastrophe, so they could continue to provide excellent customer service. You know, morphine, splints, prosthetic face...

And I read a few months ago that a business in Australia is doing a roaring trade selling similar items for security-inclined individuals, selling day-packs containing water-purification tablets, respirators, first-aid kits, survival knives, fire-starters, etc.

Maybe these things are a good idea? Maybe they're a bit stuffy and solemn. What would you cram in your sack to ensure a brighter tomorrow, to make sure the terrorists don't win?

You're right, Mask-face, we may as well let the terrorists win.

I think this is in the case of anything. Plane crash, tsunami, terrorist attack, sudden declaration of war, complete collapse of Western civilization... Something you can keep in the boot of your car, under your desk at work, by the front door. So your prepared. For anything.

Duct tape and cable ties are definitely essentials. There aren't many engineering problems that can't be solved by the inventive use of duct tape and cable ties. Maybe silicon sealant as well. Then you're well set for just about anything.

I finally got round to watching I Am Legend starring Will Smith the other evening. I quite enjoyed it, except for that terrible ending. Fortunately, I got the version with an alternate ending which was marginally better, and even hinted at what the fucking title is supposed to mean.

Anyway, as other people have hinted at, it's other people that would be the biggest problem in a crisis. This usually only gets hinted at in disaster movies, unless they are about specifically de-humanised other people - like zombies or virus infected freaks.

So, my main priority would be to get away from other people and stay away from them. I really liked Will Smith's house in I Am Legend. I'd like one like that, where you don't just draw the curtains or close the shutters, but instead you slam some giant steel blast doors across the windows.

Those wouldn't really fit in a grab bag though. So, uh, can I have a bicycle in my grab bag? So I could get away very quickly, even in a stampede of terrified 4x4 drivers.

If there is an apocalypse can I start smoking again? The cancer thing would all be off if there was an apocalypse, surely?

With an axe and some firelighters the RealDoll would be superfluous.
