    I mean it depends on how big the container is and whether or not my cat is included in “everyone”. If not my cat then my PC and books

      It’s whatever you already have available to use, and I’d say anyone alive, be they human, cat, or alligator, is included in everyone.

    Guns, cash, photos, safe contents.

    Everything else is replaceable.

    edit: I realize the guns are replaceable, but not like go to the corner store and buy same day replaceable. And I might need them.

      If someone is burning your house down, it seems very likely you would have an immediate use for guns.

        Hmm, why? I’m generally a pacifist, but I don’t see us getting out of our current global predicament without some violence.

    Depends on where I’m going honestly.

    The streets? Survival stuff. Food, water, tent, and power adapters for cars.

    I grab my go bag and step outside to wait for the fire trucks. Lived on a boat for years, so i always keep a waterproof go bag handy.

    Can the container be the car? I’ve lived in my car before. Insurance paperwork (to hopefully be able to get $ for the destruction of the house), phone & chargers, IDs, all my underwear, a change of clothes. Work would probably let me park it in the garage while I was recovering from the loss, if I can keep the job, will land on my feet. If not, things quickly devolve.

    This answer assumes the other residents of the house are all ok and not part of this scenario, and I only have to worry about me.

    When we have had pending natural disaster, we bring clothes, kids & pets, have documents already in plastic bags, stow my car on second floor of work garage and fill coolers with ice, we have a protocol for hurricanes, but fire is a wildcard.

    The bin of important documents. Everything else is replaceable. Pictures and data are backed up digitally. Clothes can be bought again. Family is already safe.

    Laptop bag is the container, full of laptop and accessories. Fucker costs too damn much to just let burn.

    My home is itself a container. I choose that.
