I can tell you from experience, take practical things and forget the rest. A toothbrush, clothes, a razor, anything that you would need for a few overnights. The most important things are extra underwear, socks, maybe a second pair of shoes. When I was 18 my home burned to the ground. The only items I had were the things in my car and the clothes on my back. You can't believe how nice it is to have a change of clothes and a clean pair of socks. I had to go out and buy all of that stuff. Think practically and let's hope you and your friends don't suffer any consequences from the fire.
Think fast: What would you take?
I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Pandemics, riots, rain, no rain, economic turmoil, comets...
Now we have devastating fires.
One of my audio buddies is waiting in an evacuation center, awaiting the horrible news that he's lost his home. A couple others are at level 2 ready to abandon their homes. These guys are the best audiophile guys you could ever hope to have around. You probably know them.
With light rain in the forecast (Monday), I feel fairly safe.
But, I have collected one small suit case, just in case. My car will be loaded with camping gear. A photo album. Maybe a friend or 2.
Of the items in my listening room, I know I can't take any equipment. Maybe a couple Lps? No, I could replace those.
So, I ask you: What would you take?
Hopefully, you'll never be in such a situation.
