Survival Supplies At Work

Piggy-backing off my previous post on being afraid to travel, my thought process migrated from travel to work.  What if something happens at work?  I’ve decided I should have a nice little supply bag stashed in my office.  The reality is that I spend more time at work during the week than anywhere else.  Therefore, if something were to happen, there is a very high chance that it occurs while I’m in my office.

Some supplies I’m considering adding to my work/office stash include:

  1. Tennis shoes, socks, and a change of casual clothes – If I need to run home (10+ miles), I don’t want to be running/walking in my dress shoes and slacks.
  2. A handgun - General self-defense, plus I work in a fairly large office building and there have been events recently (including here in my home town) of disgruntled or recently fired employees getting violent at office buildings.
  3. Cash - A few hundred bucks in cash might be a good thing to have available.  What if the power is out or there is a financial system collapse?  You might be able to get a few items before those unprepared folks loot the stores around you.

Other random items that might be worthwhile are flashlights, batteries, emergency radio, granola bars, water bottles, etc.

What do you think?  Do you have a stash at work?
