ness Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Alright, less than 24 hours until financial Armageddon starts. I wasn't too worried until yesterday, when Fitch ratings said they were putting USA on credit review for a possible downgrade. No word from S&P or Moody's yet. I just wonder if they've already left town? I've cashed in my 401(k), emptied my bank and investment accounts and converted them all to gold. Not some receipt for gold, mind you...I'm talking physical gold. Brinks just dropped it off at the house. They guy was real nice and let me use his dolly to roll it all back to der ness bünker. Anyhoo -- here's what I've got down there: tent ground cloth (for under the tent) closed cell foam sleeping pad, 3/4 length self-inflating sleeping pad (mine is almost 2 inches thick inflated) sleeping bag self-inflating pillow one burner Coleman "backpacking" stove aluminum bottle with extra Coleman fuel set of nesting pots and pans cooking utensils plastic plates and cups eating utensils aluminum foil paper towels dish soap in small bottle cooking oil in small bottle cornmeal in small waterproof container water purifier rain gear jacket extra pants, shirts, socks, underwear dry shoes hat extra clothing for cold weather if necessary two flashlights first aid kit waterproof matches camera gear/binoculars fishing tackle life jacket sponge for getting water out of the bottom of the canoe small camp chair book to read maps extra paddle sunglasses breakfast food lunch food dinner food beverages snacks all necessary dry bags two coolers with ice plastic tub for cooking stuff leather couch for Ruby. Just wanted to get a convo going and see if I'm missing anything before I seal myself in tonight. John
