“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Evacuation Bag

Or maybe I should call it Jade's version of an evacuation bag.

I'm gonna have another bash tomorrow at trying to find a torch or some candles and batteries. I figured it's better to have something that I don't end up using than desperately needing something that I didn't end up buying.

Feeling pretty please with my bag actually. I've rammed it with all the medical supplies I have...which to be honest isn't THAT many but I think it's OK. I'm improvised by shoving in some packing tape and dental floss and random stuff that can double up as string and bandages and stuff.

When you look online about what they recommend you have prepared, it's so much stuff! In the event that you have to evacuate, there's no way you can run out carrying EVERYTHING that they say you should have.

The other thing I was thinking about, is that I've prepared this bag but if there was an earthquake while I'm at work, then it would do me absolutely no good at all being at home. But I can't possibly carry this around with me all the time - even though it IS incredibly tempting....I would have everything that I need RIGHT THERE. I really am tempted to take it into work with me....

Hmmmm...what would you do?

xoxo
