Alisha | 34 comments Congratulations!

You have been selected to escape an impending zombie apocalypse. You are raiding a house for survival. You have 10 minutes to grab extremely "ordinary" things to fit in a regular sized backpack.

-what rooms in particular do you look for?
-what ordinary items do you pack, and how do you plan to use them in a way different than what they are intended for? Example: using mop strings for

Ps. Lets say you already have food and water packed. Be unique. Be macgyver! The winner gets an imaginary chocolate bar and a machete!!! GO!!!

Glyn Gardner | 37 comments Got to spend a few minutes in the garage. Screwdrivers and hammers have multiple uses, ie... Screwdrivers make good pry bars and can be used as a weapon.
Most garages have a ball of twine or maybe even some rope.

Tammy K. (rambles_of_a_reader) Ok
A whistle, my sack of old rubber bands that I've saved off the newspapers because this will finally be that "occasion" that I might just need them. My collection of. plastic bread tie thingies might not be helpful here so I'll leave them.
Baking Soda and vingar not only are they safe cleaning products they make cool volcanoes! And if you have a clog bathroom sink or tub, you can use them together to break up the clog.
Spice wise I want my lemon juice (vitamin c, flavors bad tasting water, using salt with it and it will get your pots and pans sparkling, breaks up grease, cleans Windows and so much more, Google it).
Cinnamon (Google this too, I use cinnamon to chase of ants, ants can't track through a line of cinnamon, they give up and you don't need chemicals to rid yourself of them. I love cinnamon in my coffee,on my toast, boil cinnamon in water and it smells go throughout your shelter)
Now this is not something I suggest doing but dry cinnamon if inhaled can cause chest pain, choking and is bad for your lungs... but MacGyver might make that into a weapon. Again do Not do that yourselves!
That's my thoughts here for now..raide your kitchen.

Alisha | 34 comments I was going to take lent from the dryer to help start fires. Dental floss to tie stuff together, chocolate because I can't survive without it, a bible to also help start fires and if I'm feeling bitter to use as TP, a tool belt, and a pair of scissors

Whoo hoo !! I just love imaginary chocolate bars! Can I make it dark chocolate? It has more caffeine :-)

Don't give up on this thread idea. I am sure over time people will come back and add better ideas. :P
