As a minimalist, if an order comes to evacuate, it takes five minutes to gather what you have already deemed is important to you.
For us it would be our electronics, our medicines, and a change of clothes. All our important documents are already saved in the cloud but we would grab the box of hard copies from my desk if we had time. We would not mourn the loss of any other physical possessions as we no longer deem them important enough to mourn. Yes, we would miss some of them, but we do not NEED them.
In fact, we do not need to save all our electronics since they could be easily replaced as long as we have our backup drives and the things we store in the cloud. And we could fairly easily get more meds from our pharmacy. But, we’d rather not spend our money replacing them nor fighting with insurance companies for reimbursements.
Our reality is, as long as we get the two of us out, we’d be fine.
TTYL,
Linda
What a great attitude!
I know I wouldn’t care for too long if I lost something that I thought was important – one of things you missed out was “your memories that we store in that gadget that comes installed in our head when we are born” – anything I can’t remember at a later date obviously wasn’t VIP
now that I have no car I wonder how I would react. my long walking days are over.
the marine would come and get me if he were in town (he leaves for a trip to Georgia on the 9th.)
I stay pretty minimal as to what I would take. but you’re right! this PC and the kindle and the cords would definitely be a priority. and the meds that are keeping me alive. LOL.
the beauty of living in tornado country!
