You don’t need a MRE stockpile that would feed a small army for a decade. But a three-day survival kit is a smart idea. Think: bottled water, non-perishable snacks (biscuits, tinned beans, that suspicious jar of pickle from 2026), a torch (not your phone, because battery life), and a battery-powered radio (you know, the one your granddad still uses).
Oh, and duct tape and plastic sheeting. These are your new best friends. They can seal doors, windows, and even fix your broken spirit after the tenth hour of hiding. Also, pack a whistle—it’s more effective than screaming “HELP” when your voice gives out from sheer terror.
