I love apocalyptic movies
I love those movies where a few hardy survivors grapple with the end of the world or human life on it. I often wonder how I would deal with the strain of such a situation. 28 Days later, portrays rather more realistically than most what total social breakdown caused roaming zombies would look like. A major reason the protagonists need to undergo a dangerous trip is that they run out of water both to drink and use for sanitary purposes. The clever people at the world toilet organization have created a system that uses just a couple of plaster buckets, some plastic tarp, and some old cloths hangers to create an ultra-low water usage, but sanitary human waste disposal system. Maybe if you had one of these you'd be able to last until help arrives. Remember to keep extra cans of soup and power bars along with the gallons of water. For extra measure fill the bathtub with as much water as possible at the first sign of trouble.

I have gallons of water, canned food, and a crank flashlight/radio/weather reporter/alarm/cell phone charger/all-in-one thing that I got recently from my mom. The first week after I got it as a gift from my mom I thought it was this great camping bring-along. Then I realized she thinks I'm going to fall into the ocean at the next bit quake, and that it's disaster preparedness for the home.
Our minds are just on different tracks...
