Default Re: Van B.C Canada

Mizar has used his survival kits twice already, stories are funny now.
1) got shipwrecked off of a California Island, Mizar had his kit ready in a water resistant duffle bag, crucial items were sealed in Ziplocked bags, so we all swam ashore, alive and wet, the next morning to the amazement of everyone Mizar had a fresh pot of coffee going was dressed in a pressed khaki shirt, fresh shorts and adult beverages at the ready.
2) got caught in a 6.2 earthquake, had the kit ready, bounded out the door, and settled outside on the hill, was the only one with snacks, a radio, again some adult beverages ( some were exchanged for cash) lights, a deck of cards
(more cash from the poker game) .
3) got stranded on the Squamish Highway, several times, each time Mizar was snacking on chicken wings or energy bars and relaxed comfortably under the blankets in the Vehicle kit, while reading a good book at night or lounging in a lawn chair that Mizar keeps in the back of the truck for such occurances, Binoculars and a birdwatching book help to pass the time as well.
