To ask what’s in your survival bag?

[50shadesofmagnolia]

I wanted to buy a unique present for my friend. We are in our 40’s both full on jobs what should I put into a little bag that could save your day? Im thinking safety pins, plasters, phone charger? but what else? What would you put in yours? Im
wondering if there is a common list or are we all looking for different things

Im also thinking a bag for the car what would go in there- power pack for phone, blanket.

Pain killers, wet wipes, pen and paper, torch

Pocket hair brush and comb, hair clip and bobble, emery board, lipstick and pocket fragrance. Mints.

reusable straw, needle and thread, sml reusable bag.

Pain killers , tampon/pad , wet wipes , a foldaway bag for shopping ( you can get thin /strong ones that fold up tiny ), sunscreen , breath mints.

Reusable cutlery set (would be so useful when the shop has run out of plastic ones and you’ve picked up a pasta salad for lunch).

I always used to have a pouch in my handbag with: plasters, phone charger and power bank, glasses wipes, tissues, nail file, paracetamol, spare tights, a mini tin of burts bees hand salve, a lip balm, mints/gum, and I have a mini Swiss Army knife on my keys that has scissors, tweezers and a small blade.

At least 2 lighters.

Oh, and in my car: picnic blanket, bottled water and cereal bars, hi vis vests, first aid kit, roll of blue paper towels and a torch.

Important my previous post should say <3 inch blade

Self heating mug of tea/coffee/hot chocolate for the car. They are brilliant! Individual packed big wipes/towels. A paper road map.

Survival bag?

We've also got a bio lite - it runs off burning wood and is relatively small- can boil water and has a fry pan attachment and can charge a phone or torch

Oooooo I’ve got actual survival bag vibes now. I think I need a car list, handbag list and zombie apocalypse list.

Actually in this current climate I think survival bag is probably more relevant than ever. 😫

What does OFRS stand for??

Of course it is. Where I live we’ve been told for ages by the government to have one.

I have a survival bag, its a nice cross the body tote filled with pyjamas, toothbrush, toothpaste, antiperspirant and clean knickers. I keep it in my car and it's great for unexpected overnight stays. Most frequently at sisters or sis in laws house but also ready made hospital bag should I ever need it.

In my handbag I keep, small scissors, small sellotape, stamps, safety pin, hair band, £20, plasters, paracetamol, bamboo cutlery, hand gel and baby wipes.

Vodka*
