@iAmNaN you heard me

@Parzi whoops, party not part. Tbh I like the fact that you're ready to make a fire in a big city but I can't judge. I always carry a 1tb HDD and a 16 GB USB stick with a few live distros so I can rescue anyone's laptop
-
@fuck2code ah.
it's a long way there and back, never know if the bus'll roll over or smth and we have to wait for a replacement xD -
And then there's me, I literally just carry clothes, basic necessities, and a book or two (and two basic medicines). Maybe something to write on.
Laptop only if it's a tech related thing (tech conference etc.) or if there's a confirmed LAN party/group gaming session.
Other stuff, never. It's good to disconnect.
Of course I don't have to worry about stuff not working, I use Windows :p -
@cst1992 my phone is a given, and on my person.
@12bitfloat good point, adding now.
@Nanos I need a life jacket that *fits*, yeah. A snake venom kit is a good idea, i'll have to grab one. Water purification can be done with a fire, but for quick purification, yeah, okay...
@Jacquobite can't find any online.
I have been informed that no party's complete without an Amiga.
A friend is bringing his. Also I don't have one. (Definitely on the purchase list though!)
