[basquesteve]

I agree with many of the comments but I hate to say it top of the list along with items suggested by others will be my pipe and spare 2 months supply of pipe tobacco and a tin of lighter fuel when the xxxx hits the fan a good puff sorts the world

Some interesting suggestion's, unfortunately some of you will be unable to post again in a real emergency you do not have the time to collect anything, all I managed was myself the wife the car keys and my pouch, which is always in the house or car it contains Cards, passport Carte Vitale etc, they was on the table so easy to grab on the way out, by all means think about it, and talk it over because I never thought in a million years it could happen to us, but it did, we was lucky, we was not in bed, so we were dressed, I did not even have time to put my shoes on.

Having lived close to the Gulf of Mexico for many years, there has always been a "grab bag" in the hall ready to go.

That's a good idea - what do you have in it Captain?

Your pouch - a handbag / man-bag? M%y handbag contains all the things you listed. It's bottomless but I can't fit OH in.

I suppose you would call it a man pouch its not the type that's straps around an ever increasing waistline, I think its purpose is for ladies makeup, I don't normally wear any, only on special occasions mind
