Tak (yes), I wholeheartedly agree.
Namely because I've twice nearly been killed. The first when crossing the road that left me in a coma I wasn't expected to come out of and the second instance, when an ex-partner tried to kill me by strangulation.
In both instances, fat lot of use an emergency kit would've been.
But then, I do have an accessible emergency kit stashed away and I really feel for my 'neighbors' down south. Thankfully, neither my godson and his sister who live in and around Christchurch, were home the weekend of the
7.1 quake only 2wks ago.
