Thread: If there was a fire...What would you try to take with you?

As both a volunteer fireman and a gun nut, I can assure you there's really nothing to worry about with ammo. If it gets hot enough (a very big if), it may go off, but will not have enough velocity to do any harm. A cartridge will not contain enough pressure for the bullet to reach a velocity that would be harmful.

I'll play. I would grab my Mercier Galaxy. I keep her in the living room. I've done 2 metrics on her. Not an expensive bike but very reliable.

Two metric what? Metres, Kilometres? I've covered about 10 000kms on my 'deadly treadly' since I bought it. That's only averaging about 1600kms a year. Not much.

Assuming I can stuff everything safely into a big bag I would take all my shaving stuff (razors, hones, soaps, strops, scuttles and anything else shaving related), all my religious medallions, and my sourdough starter.

Ahh, a Metric is a 100 kilometer ride.
Ernest

Thanks mate. Most I've done, round trip, is 50km in recent years. Once upon a time...20 years ago I did a damn sight more and a 'metric' would have been a fairly common occurrence.

Now back to the thread...

I'd bring my hedgehog, Knuckles, in one pocket..
My iPhone in the other.. And my TV:
... All assuming my wife was out the door with me

One of my hall mates freshman year had a hedgehog. The guy's roommate was Indian, and couldn't quite pronounce "hedgehog," but he loved to invite people back to the room to see his... well, I guess I shouldn't post that. He also liked to say "Dood, give me the (hedgehog)."

My Pelican case full of razors. Maybe my laptop. Everything else is pretty inconsequential!
