  - 3 days LRP Rations (really, REALLY nasty 'proto-food-matter' consisting of - and I quote - "Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable oils, Coconut and other tropical oils, Wheat Germ, Processed Grain, Sucrose, Protein.' Even while completely drunk late one night last year, I couldn't make myself eat this stuff on a bet.
  - 3 person/days drinking water in sealed pouches
  - Mini-mag (one of the above-mentioned)
  - Lightsticks
  - Emergency Space Blanket

This, plus a mountaineering pack full of clothing/toiletries, is what I'll be attempting to stuff into the car. Laugh at will. We'll see what fits, although it actually looks pretty good 'cause most of the parts are small stuff. Taking this much, of course, guarantees that if I end up needing something, it won't be available. Ah well.
