What's in your Escape Drawer?

[Widdershins 9,955]

      So here's a little practice of my own, and a bit of a hypothetical for you.

   Say you have a dresser in your house with a very easily removed drawer in it that is rather lightweight & roughly a foot by two feet. What are your most valuable possessions that you put in it in the rare chance you need to grab only one thing on your way out in case of a fire or any other sudden urge to duck out the window?

    That's why the emphasis is on a small drawer. Because naturally anyone would want to bring their family member or the family pet. (unless its a REAL small dog) This way, what you take with you is limited to knickknacks, like say, a jewelry box, that stuffed toy you can't sleep without or any other baubles that would hit you the hardest when you think about them being left behind & burnt. And yes, guns are also an acceptable answer. I can fully appreciate the love a man may have for his trusty revolver! Lol!

 

 

  Me? I have my Gameboy and a few of its related games, (because a few of those characters are as real to me as leaving a family member behind in a burning building) a pewter dragon bracelet, my passport, and my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card. (Yes! I know! I'm a massive nerd! So she's cute, so sue me!)

I'm not a sentimental person, so I would only put in a lockbox/drawer what I think I will need to use in an emergency.

 

Passport, A few USB keys with whatever files I deem important, a couple hundred in cash, usb cable, a cheap tablet (just something that I can get internet on if my phone becomes unavailable during whatever causes me to need the box), at least one change of clothes, and a knife.

 

If I was going to put something that has no practical value, it would be my first Lego stormtrooper. Small, meaningful to me, worthless to someone who would steal it.

I have a USB thumb drive with important files and roughly $1500 in cash.

This is a deceptively hard question. I have several pieces of jewelry I would want in the drawer. A thumb drive with all of the stories I've written. I actually have several backups for my story files. One is always with me at all times (Key-ring).  Oh, one thing I would keep in the drawer. A sturdy case the exact size of the inside of the drawer. That way it won't dump if I have to jump out the window!

I would pack only the things that were irreplaceable; personal stuff that I can't just re-purchase at the store. I'd take some of my better artwork, a flash stick with all my writing stuff, some family photos and most importantly of all, my big stuffed panda. I've had her forever and I couldn't live without her.   (That may a bit of a tight fit, but I'll squash it all in somehow).

If I had one, it would be something like this:

 

*Several flash drives with everything on my computer that I could put on there (If it were right now, about 80MB worth of stuff.)

*My Discord and Treecko vinyl figures (I couldn't leave them out like that!)

*My class ring (Still won't wear it because it's a whole size too big...)

*A couple of changes of clothes

*My Martin Medal from Graduation

*Some money, probably around $1000.

 

( It would be really sad having to leave my computer behind though... )

Large amount of money and personal forms of me and my family.
