In light of the advice that we should have a 72 hr survival pack available to deal with emergency weather or other issues it got me thinking, what would go into it. Here'e my initial list
  • Tayto's
  • Couple of sliced pans in the Freezer that I could grab as I am running for my bunker
  • Butter
  • Tea bags (Barrys of course)
  • Flasks of hot water or the ability to boil water
  • Couple of packs of chocolate digestives
    • So now we have tea, Tayto sandwiches and choccy bics so food is sorted
  • spare GAA hoodie so at least if/when my body is found, people will know where I came from
But what else would people add?

Do you still have the iodine tablets and the Millennium candle. They could be useful.

Or you baptismal candle and a set of Rosary beads (or whatever the equivalent is for your religion) so that God and his crew will know what heaven to put you into. It's be mad busy for them so best do what you can to make sure you don't end up in the wrong place (Protestant heaven, Catholic heaven, Elysium, Valhalla, any of the seven higher Lokas (esoteric planes) of Hinduism, or any one of the countless heavens of all the other religions both current and past.
God knows what religion everyone needs to be born into (that's how we know there must be a God) but if there's a global cataclysm there'll be a stampede at the Gates. Sure you could end up getting reincarnated as a baby born in a different bunker where they had no Barry's tea or Tayto!

So the bottle of holy water is a definate, just in case.

As for no Barry's or Tayto- would that not mean we had all gone to hell?. Or Dublin?

Maybe some sausages and black pudding as well, assuming we have a gas stove?

Handy for shovelling snow, or taking the head off a zombie.

Also for shoveling and burying "stuff". The same "stuff" is also useful for growing spuds according to Mat Damon's documentary "The Martian". Can you plant used tea bags and empty Tayto packets to replenish supplies? If you can then the more "stuff" you can shovel the better, so maybe two shovels. And four candles. :D

In case of Vampires?

Sure Tayto is from Dublin, and like so many Dubs had to move to Meath.
Lyons tea would also do, instead of that auld foreign Barry's stuff.

Black Pudding? You've got notions. That's your problem.
 
A phone would be a must have so we could be educated and amused all at the same time on AAM:D
