In mid-January, I put out a call to canvas contents of your emergency
equipment boxes.

Many thanks to the dozens of people who got back to me; the response was
far more positive than I expected.

Many wished me to circulate my findings so I put together a list of most
commonly used emergency equipment. Please see it below.
