Are You Ready For An Apocalypse?!

Come on everyone, give it up for the End of the World!!!

Yaaayyyyy!!!!!!

Whether you prefer Ragnarok, Armageddon, Zombie Apocalypse, Nuclear Winter, Robot Apocalypse, or Yawm al-Qiyamah, who cares?  We're all going to die anyway!

Whoo!!

But the question remains---how long will you stay alive?

Will you be one of the unfortunate few who die in the first wave of zombies/bombs/robots/troll wives?  Or will you have the fortitude and preparedness to fight your way to freedom through the hordes of evil creatures that want to kill you?

If you want to take option number two, you should probably look into getting an Apocalypse bag.

An Apocalypse bag you say?  Was ist das?

This is a sturdy bag filled with all the essentials to keep you alive and moderately healthy no matter what the deranged universe tries to send against you.

(normal mundane people might just call it a 'disaster bag.'  Feh.  Mine's an Apocalypse Bag!)

Step number one: acquire a sturdy bag.  It could be a backpack or a shoulder sling--but absolutely no luggage.  There's no way you're outrunning the troll-wives carrying that around.

Step number two: fill said bag with useful stuff.  Like:
--Change of clothes (pants, shirt, underwear)
--Duct tape
--Rope (mine can hold my body weight.  I like this)
--Bungee cords
--Toilet paper (obviously we're going to need this)
--Water Bottles (some full and some waiting to be filled)
--Food (something nice and non-perishable that can live at least a year.  Then you should eat it and start over)
--Pocket knife
--Fire starter
--Compass
--Survival guide
--Medical Kit
--Safety pins
--and other wonderful customizable options!

Step number three: make your bag look like it's already survived an Apocalypse.  Because there's nothing more intimidating than a bag sitting on someone's shoulder that says 'Yeah, I've been there already.  Watch out for the unexpected flame spurts.' No one's going to want to mess with that bag.

Step number four: keep it with you at all times.  (or just in your car.  You know.  You don't want people thinking you're a complete whacko, now do you?)
