RE: What do you have to hand now?
At the moment I'm sat on the sofa with the wife and 2 dogs.
In my pocket, Maxpedition knife and mobile phone, plus bank car. First aid kit on the mantle of the fireplace, UV3r up there too, along with 1 bottle of Zippo lighter fluid (for the wife's hand warmer), a small 'room bag' that has a bit of kit in it just at the end of the sofa, a 24kg kettle bell on the floor in front of me, 25 litre + 5 litre containers of water just behind one of the sofa chairs next to the kettle bell, plus over 1000x 25litre water purifiers strapped to the handle of the 25litre bottle. That's only stuff that's just about within arm's reach. Have to reach a little further (1.5 arm lengths) for the bag, water, FAK, and kettle bell.
We also have 2 fleece blankets and a sleeping bag on the sofa, within arm's reach, but they are generally for the whippets to cuddle up in and stay warm.
Oh and a few survival books on the fireplace mantle too.
Just stood up and saw 2 torches also on the fireplace mantle. One old fashioned micro MagLite, the other a Cree torch.
