5. Define important. Like my toilet isn’t that important if it disappeared and I just needed to get a new one. But if all a sudden I couldn’t have a toilet in my house then that’s probably #1 for me.

6. In no particular order other than that I thought of them in:

   * 100+ liters of purified water
   * 15,000kcal of freeze dried food
   * camp stove and fuel
   * satellite messenger
   * solar panel capable of charging said messenger/phone/lights
   * flashlights
   * hand pump water purifier
   * encrypted backup of all important documents
   * cold weather clothing
   * rooty-tooty point-n-shooty.

7. My family, outside of them my guns and all my other guns

8. two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers… and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.

9. The only irreplaceable things are my wife, son, daughter, and cats

10. Photos, my kids school work and art work, my camping gear, some special christmas ornaments, a blanket my mom tried to knit before she died, some savings bonds.

11. Wife, son, daughter, then various personal items I’d gladly give up for them.

16. Aside from my wife?

    1. My laptop & backup hard drive. I need that and oxygen, in that order.
    2. The cat, Ziggy. Ziggy is the best cat ever.
    3. Family photos.
    4. Legal documents.
    5. Two paintings by friends, one of whom has hit the big time. He called me a couple of years ago and said, “You know that painting I gave you? Hang onto it. I just hung one just like it next to a de Kooning at a house in Boca.” The other one took up painting after a major health crisis. It reminds me of his bravery.
    6. My grandfather’s silver golf trophy. He was South Carolina golf champion for several years in a row.
    7. My books.
    8. The rest. It’s just things.

17. TV, Xbox, asshole cat, asshole boyfriend, blankets, noodles, rice, vodka, cigarettes, pants. (Imdrunk, this list might change when I’m sober)
