What’s in your Go Bag?

Melbourne's Lord Mayor Robert Doyle has come up with a fabulous idea for all people living, working or visiting our beautiful Melbourne city to carry a Go Bag.

I got excited because I thought he was about to hand out freebies, but alas, it's just a suggestion to carry one of these handy bags around in case of emergency. You know, earthquakes, floods, heatwaves... any kind of excuse to herd us all in to Etihad Stadium for a sleep-over.

He suggests the pack should include essential items as well as:

  • Small radio
  • Soup
  • Basic first aid
  • Personal medication
  • Bottle of water
  • Muesli bar
  • Jellybeans 
  • Batteries
  • Tissues 
  • Torch

So I've made up my own Go Bag, all contained in my Burton Sean White backpack:

  • Small radio fuck small radio. I want some big sound
  • Soup Pumpkin soup
  • Basic first aid  fun bacon and eggs bandaids
  • Personal medication chill pill
  • Bottle of water bottle of Makers Mark
  • Muesli bar Bueno bar
  • Jellybeans Salada's, Vegemite and butter
  • Batteries - I have chosen batteries that look like cigarettes. I'll be selling these to people that have started losing the plot on day 3
  • Tissues - only the best, Aloe Vera
  • Torch huge maglite. Good for seeing and waving about in an angry fashion

 

I've also added some other essential items:

  • Lucas' Paw Paw
  • iPhone
  • Laptop
  • Toilet Paper
  • Chester
  • Baseball bat

I think I'm also going to make up an Etihad Statium members card so I can get access to all those cool areas (and not have to wait in line for the toilets).

So... what's in your Go Bag?

    You kill me. Look at all that paw paw ointment. The first sign of an emergency and you are going to lather yourself up?

    Warming lube.

    (I figure if it’s the end of the world, I should be able to get some… Plus, I can use it to keep me warm of a night.)

    I would just die if I ran out/lost some. Plus I expect a million ladies spying my stash and asking. “Ummm, do you have some lip balm?” and I would charge them $2 per application.

    Benny Z will be the paw paw applicator cos I can’t have strangers putting their dirty hands all over my balm…it might also help him meet some ladies so he can make use of his one and only essential item. Lube. That’s it?
