The most essential items

[Sunequus 2]

(not sure if I should post here but I'll give it a shot)

---

Here’s a situation:

 

You have decided to give up ALL of your material possessions (including clothes). This does not include solid and immovable possessions like apartment/stove/toilet etc. All the possessions you gave up are put into a storage near your house/apartment.

 

You’re allowed to fetch ONE item from a storage each day. You have to do this for one year and after a year has elapsed, everything left in the storage are thrown/sold away

 

You have been granted one week vacation from school/work on the moment of your decision

 

Now the challenge is what items would you fetch first? What are absolutely essential items for you cannot live without. Note that this includes ALL movable items (yes, you will start your first day naked)

Well, first off I'll get a blanket, because I can both cover myself, keep warm, sleep in it, and walk around with it on me. Next I would grab the item with the most food and water in it, let it be a bottle, a fridge, anything to eat or drink. Afterwards I'd get some clothes, and if I am only allowed one type of clothing, I would take underwear. After that I'd probably get some things that I would be able to cook with so  I wouldn't have to keep fetching food. Lastly I'd bring a bed, the day after a couch, and work on more furnishing afterwards.

 

In essence I would want to have what is needed to survive, and after that fill the house with furniture.

Hello!

 

Oh my...

 

First, i would probably choose propper clothing. Next would come Money. Then would come some sort of communication item, like a computer. My amps, Guitar. (Can't live without those.). I think within the year, i'd probably get everything out of the storage

I'd probably just take out a shirt on the first day, jeans on the second day and wallet on the third, then go to the shops and buy any small essentials i couldn't live without. Computer, Xbox and stuff like that i could go without for the first few days.

Computer > Monitor > Peripherals > Chair > Desk > Pepsi > Phone > Money > Clothes.

 

I can live a few days without clothes, because buck clothes!

Just a note that is regarded as immovable item so you have an access to running water

Fridge is operational but it's empty

 

I also recommend money in your wallet to buy groceries since e.g A bottle of milk is considered as single item

Hmmm tough one. But I have to say...

 

Blanket - clothes - mp4 - cup - teabags - kettle - phone. 

 

Mainly because I want to stay warm, I need my music, I fall into a crappy illness (withdrawals) without caffeine, and then i'd get my phone. Because...you know. I want a phone. For no one to ring me. Ever.

First, I'd grab a towel or a blanket, whichever I could find first. Then, I'd grab my computer, because I'm just like that. I can make a cup with my hands and drink water out of the sink, so I won't have to worry about thirst. Then, I'd get clothes, just 2 of each kind of closthing, I can live with 2 outfits. Then, I'd get all my money, so Incould buy food. I could walk somewhere. Then, my bike.

... Are we allowed to cheat and get our computer first and then order things off the internet? Because if we can do that, that's what I'm doing. 

 

If not, then bathrobe --> shirt --> computer --> food --> food --> food --> etc. 

 

Pants are for people who think pants are a necessity. Ie, people who are wrong. 

[Sunequus 2]

Bump. This topic needs attention... and I think it's a good topic

 

So... umm, I haven't answered the challenge yet. I guess I'd start with my bathrobe followed with my wallet
