My all time favorite of mine is when I wore a loin cloth, ugly short sleeved button up shirt buttoned to the top, pocket protector, eye glasses with tape in the middle. A long black wig, a sword, tomahawk and books. I was Conan the librarian!
I think its wise to always be preparred for the worse. The economy could collapse and there will be mass rioting. We could get invaded by other countries. Weve been pissing off the rest of the world for sometime. We are capable of having massive earthquakes. We have even been hit by hurricane strength winds in Michigan. Thats what took down the Edmund Fitzgerald in 75. Theres even the remotest of chances of alien invassions or a zombie appocolypse. I am always geared up to the max to hit the road and live off the land in BFE! All these may be unlikely but nothing is impossible.
