Be Prepared. Really Prepared. No, REALLY Prepared.
We like being prepared around here. It’s good stuff. (See: what you should eat in order to be ready for anything) A very famous man once said that luck favors the prepared and I think he was right. But as with everything in this life, it can be taken to the next level…
From the New York Times:
A billboard on I-95 in Connecticut asks, “Does your family have an emergency plan?” Er, no. Leslie Fastenberg, a self-described soccer mom from Old Westbury, N.Y., steps into the breach with a mammoth (and stylish) emergency kit called the ICE-Qube. The 85-pound box is stocked with enough necessities, she said, for a family of four to survive for four days: $850 plus shipping at (516) 650-7690 or ice-qube.com. Over 100 items are within, like toothbrushes, a crank radio, Jif peanut butter and condoms. I wondered about those last two items. “What, do you want the peanut butter from Whole Foods instead?” she said, adding that condoms were a “high-value, small-mass product.”

I want one of these just because it would be cool to have around. Not to mention that you really would be prepared for just about anything short of an alien invasion, and even then you might be able to trade the lifesavers for your, uh, life.
