I've noted that some posters are now including a "leatherman tool" which also includes that knife blade I feel everyone needs. For a good many people a leatherman is all they will ever need so if you don't care to carry a pocket or stout knife then at least consider carrying a Leatherman.
I have learned it is better to be safe than sorry. I also used to read about people stocking up what seemed like ridiculous amounts of supplies and food, etc... or keeping these kinds of emergency survival type bags with them and to be honest I did assume they were loonies.... THEN we had an incident and had to evacuate personally, without notice. We were NOT prepared. Under the stress of the situation, which was magnified because we have children and pets, it was an experience we were very lucky to not only live through but also learn from. The experience totally made us realize the importance of being prepared. Now we consider ourselves among "the loonies", and we are happy for it.
Or, it's better to have and not need, then to need and not have.
Hmmm number one would be flashlight and some sort of mask/bandana. Then
a food item (granola bars etc).
This is only to get home not head out for days.
