Disaster survival list

For reference purposes, one guy's list of stuff to be ready to load into the truck with minimal warning.

(For my Readers in colder climes, I cannot recommend these boots highly enough: light, easy to put on / take off with gloves, and my feet have never been cold with them on. They last about 4-5 years—with heavy usage—and I’m about to order my third pair.)

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
