Hypothetical rNd nation.

I doubt that you just happen to have an emergency apocalypse kit lying around next to your computer.

You don't know this day is coming. The second you find out that the world is going to end, the timer starts ticking.

Its in my closet, which is in my house, and I live over a subduction zone so I woldbe stupid not to have it. And I know where everything else I mentioned is

All the things I listed are in my room on the table. I'd be able to pack them up in less than 2 minutes into the bag

And there is a toolbox with lots of shit in the room next to mine. And there is a BB gun with ammunition(and even a scope) and a hatchet in the garage right outside. 10 minutes is enough for this.

Oh wow, materialism and livestock applied to people. Nice!

[Astropilot]

I have a ton of things in the medicine cabinet I can get. I have one of those non battery flashlights that you have to shake to get it to work. There's also a lighter, a saw, a toolbox, and a bamboo stick which I have no idea what it should be used for. Maybe attach a knife to it and use it a spear?

[Loke]

You all realize you only have ten minutes to grab all of this

right

I have a bag full of them right under the deck.
Hell, ill even bring my more useful pocket knife and a knife sharpener thats in my silverware drawer.

[Deacon]

He's right, snivy.
Bugout bags are alot more common than you'd think.

The idea is to GTFO, NOW. If anything happened which would require that.

Install a theocracy. Anarchist monarchy. Yeah.
 That's cool.

Oh god. RND nation.

Anarchy within two weeks.

I'd suggest marxism (communism) until we are populated enough.

delicious

I'd Paint or something. Maybe an Architect when building shelters/whatever. Flags for either confidence or pride or warding off/intimidating intruders/shits and giggles... Symbols should the rNd nation start using their own language or something.

Assembling small, crude tools for use in nation.

Whatever anything has/would have to do with colours and spatial sense, I could make myself useful in that area. Even digging graves/irrigation channels.

I could even plant plants and garden or something I don't know



Unit's Inventory:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Large Orange Backpack that is older than myself

Several Novels that have some gravity (Blind Assassin, 1984, The Time Machine, The Shadow of the Wind, Blade Runner, Cat's Cradle, Number9dream, Cloud Atlas, etc)

A very ratty version of "History of Invention, Revised Edition: From Stone Axes to Silicon Chips" sitting in my bookshelf not being touched ever

Several Wikipedia printouts on how to go from Eating Raw Meat to Pasteurizing Milk and Immunizing Yourself courtesy of 7 minutes and Firefox tabs

Dream book (because I need that as well)

"Panasonic 5-way Oscillation" Fan (I'm pretty sure if you stuck some of the people in rNd on an island, one group would be creative and practical enough to be able to take this thing apart and turn it into some spring-powered fan and/or tiny wind turbine or something)

Aerosol Deodorant Assortment (If someone brings a lighter, possibilities are endless. Like scaring away Animals, or starting a fire without patience and burning wood really fast. Or setting someone on fire. Plus, we don't have to worry about CFCs since there's been a global reset and I doubt anyone in rNd (Except maybe a handful) would have the knowledge and practice of opening a pressurized can and refilling it with any liquid, and then magically closing it back up again without any practical hardware tools)

Bleach

A few articles of old clothing (possibilities endless)

3 Plastic bags

A Digital Clock instead of an Analogue watch (Unless I find a really nice Analogue Clock that can be wound easily and take some beatings, which won't happen)

And maybe the assortment of plastic bottles lying around my room because I'm too lazy to throw them away

And if this is a stereotypical island with a stereotypical island climate, then I'm not bringing my iHeater 4S PC, irregardless if Tiger Guy decides to go and hug a hydro station.

the only real problem is figuring out how to purify the ocean water and remove all the salt.

1. Dig a hole in the sand by the shore until you hit water.
2. Put a bowl or other container in the middle of the hole.
3. Place plastic wrap or similar material over the entire hole sealed by sand over the edges.
4. Put a small object on top of the wrap to weigh it in a downward angle at the bowl.
5. The seawater evaporates, forming pure water on the plastic wrap.
6. The now fresh water then slides along the underside of the plastic until it reaches the middle, dropping into the bowl below.

You do realize how painfully slow of a process that is and the number of people that will be supported by that. A better way is to just boil the water and collect the steam, same process but faster.

Hmmm well I never thought of that xD

[blαh2355]

Well all I would bring would be like a toolbox (full of tools of course), my violin, kitchen knife, sleeping bag, flashlight with lots of batteries, bags, various medicine, water bottle, clothes, and a hatchet or pickaxe.

[Cake Faice]

Would this shit work?

[Deacon]

Would this shit work?

Sorta, yeah.
It would filter out alot of the larger particulates...as far as bacteria, i'm not sure.

That's where boiling comes in
