I used to keep a drawstring bag of stuff at my office. Jogging shoes, a few slimjims, and a waterproof windbreaker. I think there was a flashlight, and a few other odd and ends too. I figured if worst came to worst, it would make a 28 mile walk home suck a little bit less.

I don’t bother with any prep now that I work from home. If the world goes sideways I’ll either die quickly or I’ll rob/murder/plunder my way to survival.

There was a huge storm a few years ago that led to bad flooding. Everything was shut down. I had to walk miles in uncomfortable and wet shoes and eventually took them off and walked in my soaking socks to avoid the pain.

Now I always keep a pair of sneakers at the office. Also a change of clothes, but those good shoes could be a life saver.
