I'd love to assemble an exhaustive week long kit that takes only annual maintenance of eating the canned food.
Also, does anybody know how long gasoline lasts?
I have 2 50cc scooters that only sip a couple of liters of gasoline a week, I figured they would be good to get around if everything goes to hell and back.

I was thinking about that too the other day Maniac. Most of us don't have cash in the house at all, or if we do it's loose change and that's it. If things did go to shit, we wouldn't be able to buy extra supplies even if we could get to a store.

Pretty sad that some of you are implying that Lower Mainland residents will act like savages in the event of an emergency...

if vancouver looks like haiti or sichuan after, all hell will break loose
if vancouver looks like tokyo after (everything still standing), i think we will be more civilized
we really dunno how we will look like, since there hasnt been a "big" one in modern times
seriously, i dont think its a bad idea to have weapons in your earthquake kit, especially if you own a small business, looters gon' loot

LOL I think of all places, the bank vaults would be the sturdiest so I doubt it would be cracked open with some heavy shaking... but then again... that could be a good excuse for us ...
*attempt at robbing the bank, stopped by police*
