I don't need 6 things, but if I must!
1. My pants of course, can't run out of the house in my boxers.
2. My wallet!
3. I have this keen little pocket knife of mine In survival situations, no matter what a bladed tool is always a plus.
4. Hm, pants, yeah I alerady did that one... ... ... Well I guess I could say a handful of lithum batteries and LED bulbs. So much more portable, can take em in yer pocket. Bright as hell and lasts a quite while.
5. My camera dude! I gotta get this on film!!!
6. Uhm... I can't really think of anything else. I would say car keys if i had a vehicle, but I don't and shoes are an obvious. I mentioned pants as a joke
Emergency situations are pretty screwy and being prepared beforehand is the key, this is why you make a kit, a red waterproof, airtight orange case with first aid, medications, batteries, wind-up type radios and flashlights and whatever else you might need. Water purification tablets and such. Ponchos string, fishing hooks and line, all in one case. That way you just go straight for it first, get whatever else you may need (which is what most people have listed) then bolt. Remember katrina? Alot of people thought they'd be fine stuck around, theres too many reasons why people stayed and i don't know them all but the point is some people stayed. NEVER do this, no matter what. Do you honestly want to be 500 miles if a nuclear bomb drops when it's possible that it'd land right on your house :P Nothing is certian and city officials usually know best... unless they're a conspicious government :O
