Yet, would you have much use for an Urban Skiff in Dallas? Perhaps if the tollway flooded during the upcoming Rapture predicted by all those megachurches....

If it were made from something other than carbonite, I'd say it was absolutely perfect for me. I live less than a mile from the Long Island Sound! However, the stuff's pretty volatile. So, instead I'm declaring this a plot on the part of the company to get rid of paranoid city-dwellers! :D

You know, you'd sleep like a baby in that balloon hammock.

...If you find us a nice warehouse to buy, I can have a glass-working forge, and you can have your balloon hammock. :)

On the downside, purchasing all of these things that I have suddenly realized I need will probably bankrupt me. On the upside, when I'm evicted and have to quit society, I will have a high standard of living. Dunno how I'm going to pull that trailer behind my bicycle, mind.

Yes, because survivalists preparedness experts never have just one of anything.

You'll need one for each car, and one for the bike, and one for home. And probably one or two at work, just in case...

Save a tauntaun: buy a cocoon.

I'll need to dig it up, but somewhere out there on the Intarwebs, someone has debunked the feasibility of the Cocoon.
The earthquake bed, I dunno. Something seems silly about it.
Something similar to the Bedu might be a good idea for local disaster relief groups, particularly in the Southeast US.
The urban skiff looks fun, but it might just be cheaper and consume less space if you kept a folbot or collapsible frame canoe in your closet.
The Lifesaver bottle is not worth the money. Hand pumped ceramic filters, battery operated and solar powered UV purifiers, and iodine tablets are all more efficient (and cost effective per gallon) despite the claims.
You can do a DIY solar oven which would be much more effective than the BCK.
The Firun looks like it'd be much better than trying to rig a travois in the back country.
The survival radio and personal beacon are good ideas, and there are plenty out there.
The water shelter and wind turbine seem like good ideas. There are also a few solar powered ice melters that would be cheaper than the wind turbine, but I don't know about the efficiency.
That Campa makes me tingly in my campin geek no no parts.

(TEOTWAWKI/Zombie contingency plan? I have no idea what you mean...oh, I love what you've done with your ceiling!)

First, I read the phrase describing the Cocoon as "Satan's undescended testicle," which caused no end of amusement. Then I realized that "Satan's Distended Testicle" is obviously the name of your next band. If you don't do it, you know John Shirley will.

Help us, Obi-Paul, you're our only hope!

Oh YES! I want.

DO WANT
