Jordan says
In my bag? Vodka, a good knife, and rope.
Joy B says
a first aid kit, a knife and matches
RubyTues says
Keeping the go bag light is key so my items would be small. First spare glasses can’t be running around bumping into things. Second a small photo album gotta have something to remind me what’s important. Lastly toilet paper the world’s ending but you still gotta go and you’ll be going in odd spots enough that a little comfort will go a long way.
myfojo says
A Smooth Whiskey, A Big freaking Knife, and Water bottle
Yajaira says
Awesome!! Those all look great!
Lammie says
Rope, a knife, and first aid supplies. If I could, I would also cram I’m my mother and mother-in-law’s Christmas cookie recipes, because eventually, we will be able to eat good things again, right?
Stacey says
A change of clothes, first aid kit, and Swiss army knife.
KatieF says
If I’m being realistic, if the world is ending I’m just going to huddle in my house, crying. But, if we’re pretending I’m the heroine of a post-apocalyptic novel, I’d bring a knife, first aid kit and a lighter/matches
Teresa says
Fully charged kindle, alcohol and cake! Cause lets be honest, we won’t all escape so at least I’ll be too drunk to realise!
liavelasquez says
Oh! okay, so three things I’d have with my in a post-apocalyptic novel…hmmm, a blade, one of those water bottle with a filter, and flint and steel. (And I’d try to sneak a bar of soap for emergencies. wink.)
Kimberly Shihady says
OoOoOo…this question reminds me of the early seasons of Survivor when contestants were allowed to bring one comfort item with them. I would definitely bring a swiss army knife, a lighter, and my one comfort item would be chapstick!! A girl likes her creature comforts
Aggie says
A bottle of water, firestarter, and a hot man like Dallas to keep me warm at nights..
Marty Keely says
Thanks for the chance!!!
Mary Clements says
hmmmm Im thinking a swiss army knife, filtering water bottle and my vibrator…if Im honest 😉

I’d bring a knife, small axe, paracord. Thank goodness for my survival training!

A knife, water, and a book (or as many books I could fit in the bag).
ashley austin says
In my bag I would want one of those devices that turns any water into safe drinking water, a knife that never gets dull, & a fire starter.
Carrie says
Definitely a knife (cause guns run out of ammo and it can be used for so many other things), matches (in a water proof case) and a canteen with water. I can loot for anything else I need later. 😉
BoxyFrown (@missboxyfrown) says
My Kindle, a solar charger, and a straight razor 😀
ms bookjunkie says
A fully loaded solar-powered ereader (for my sanity), my menstrual cup (for practicality), plus coffee and cacao beans for future crops (for luxuries)(climate, shlimate).
Rachelle says
If I could choose only 3 things…I would pick rope, a hunting knife, and a metal canteen (one that is good for boiling water).
Jolanda LovestoRead says
My tablet, a very BIG knife and a bottle of water.
Stacy Person says
My escape bag would have… a knife, a canteen with water, and rope.
Silke says
In my escape bag would be chocolate, a bottle of water and my fully charged kindle 🙂
Yvonne Lindow says
In my very large escape bag you would find my husband, water and my tablet with all these great books loaded on it . . . 🙂
Rachel McAllister says
My kindle, solar powered generator to charge it, and a Leatherman!
socalgal5 says
Water, lighter and a big knife
naomi says
A knife, a lighter, and a water bottle with a filter.
Trish says
My hunting knife straps to my thigh 😉 so in my bag I think I’d pack a life straw, a notebook and a pen. Because I’d need clean water, no question, but I’m bound to have some adventures along the way and I want to write that shit down!
Kelly Smith says
I wouldn’t expect to survive very long, so I’d take things to keep me comfy in the meantime. My tablet full of ebooks and music, a bottle of something strong, and some food.
Christie Coy says
Knife, gun and amo.
Sam Schooler says
I’d take a solar-powered GPS (I already carry one everywhere because I get horrendously lost whenever I drive in my city), a hunting knife, and my Brita water bottle. I figure everything else can be scavenged or traded for, but you never know when and where the water will be good!
Meghan Schuessler says
Post-apoc romance is my favorite genre! In my bag I’d definitely have a knife, a water bottle and my rechargeable handheld flashlight/AM radio (I bought that right before Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, it was a great investment).
laura says
Books, knife, gun, whiskey, and Valium. And a flashlight/taser combo.
tradermare says
Let’s see, definitely a weapon like a knife, a favorite book, flashlight
jennifer beck says
kindle , knife, flashlight
Lucy Portsmouth says
Family photo – to remind me of what I’m surviving for – water purification tablets & a full lighter
KellyMae says
I would want a fire starter, machete and my husband (he is quite resourceful)
Tina S. says
I’d take a gun, water purification filter, and my Kindle so I can look up how to use all that shiz that I should have been practicing on BEFORE the apocalypse.
Gi says
A knife, rope and CHOCOLATE!!!!!
RuthG says
I’d have to bring water, a good knife, and matches or one of these barbecue lighter things.

Rebecca Grace Allen says
Nutella, wrist restraints and lube, because if the world’s ending, I want to have a shitload of fun before it does 😉
shannonB. says
A knife, lighter, and water.
Melissa says
A knife, cable ties, and a BIG ASS bottle of tequila!
Marissa says
Well, there wouldn’t be much room after I stuff my two kitties in there, so that only leaves room for a weapon of some sort. 😉
Thanks for the chance to stuff my post-apocalyptic bookshelf full of awesomeness!
Krysten M says
Oh man, I’d probably bring a lighter, water, and a weapon of some sort
Sarah says
Definately Whiskey, a lighter and a knife!!
PurpleBrina says
1. chapstick
2. my inhaler.
3. Swiss army knife
Shannon T says
I’m pretty sure I’m not going to make it through the end of the world or if I do I’ll be one of the first to go. Likely because my escape bag will be forgotten in my panicked shuffling “run” away from danger.
Ayako Sato says
I’d have to say it really depends on the state of the world at the time. In tomorrow’s post-apocalyptic world will there be Kindles that don’t need charging, swiss-army knives that have shrinkable weather proof shelters and a device that can remolecularise organic matter into nutritious food? If so, those would be my picks.
lisaguertin says

Brenda Wheeler says
Water bottle, change of clothes, my personal first aid kit which includes a Swiss Army Knife Tool/Matches… And then I’d be on the hunt for Jas! 😉
Brandi says
A weapon, a water bottle, and a fire starter. Boring, but you only allowed me three things! My actual go-bag is insane. 🙂
biochemgirl says
I would take a charcoal water filter, rope and a bigass gun with knife mount. I am so excited to dig into this book. I feel like I’ve been waiting forever (although all things considered it hasn’t really been that long).
Kristi McGill says
My kindle, firestarter, and water purification tablets. The rest i can manage on my own.
Kelloggs says
Realistically I am one of the people wiped out in the first wave of… whatever. So in the spirit of going out in style: a fully stocked, fully charged ereader, a bottle of whiskey and fill the rest of the bag up with chocolate.
Holly Ashcom says
A small solar charger, a big freaking knife, and a kindle loaded with books about natural and traditional medicines.

I’m not feeling practical today, screw the knife, water, etc.
I would bring my e-reader loaded with favourite books, chocolate and chai.

Beth Kastl says
Thank you for always hosting so many wonderful giveaways!
ML says
Water bottle, knife, gun and ammo.
Amy P. says
If the world was ending tomorrow and I could only bring 3 of the 5 C’s of survival, it would be a Swiss army knife or similar multi-tool (Cutting device), a ferro rod (Combustion device), and a metal water bottle (Container) for drinking and heating. Girl’s gotta be prepared!
Amy Rickman says
Tools, weapon and food
Danielle Ellis says
Seeds, Tools, Weapons
Krystal says
Swiss Army knife, bottle of vodka, and matches
Ashley says
My engraved pocket knife (sentimental & practical), big ass canteen, and a bottle of my husbands ADHD meds to keep me alert and not hungry
Christi Born says
I’d have a stone and flint (lol counting that as 1 thing), a good solid knife, and should probably bring my glasses lmao.
Angela says
I’d definitely take the hunting knife, a hiking camel full of water and rope.
Cassandra B. says
Exciting contest! Thanks! Also, I missed the comment prompt but from the previous comments, I am guessing it was something about what you bring to the end of the world. Flint, water purification tablets, first aid kit, knife, and a book.
Brooke says
Hair brush, big knife and water
Kari Fitzmaurice says
Kindle, knife, and water
laughingcarol says
Couldn’t put Beyond Innocence down. Loved the way Lili and Jared fit together.

Steph F. says
I would have a large sword, kindle with solar charger and a big gun, lol.
Gabby says
Medicines Swiss Army knife and a family picture
Julianna Condor (@juliannacondor) says
Can you fit a Navy SEAL into a go bag? (Maybe if he folded up?) If not, a utility knife, a super-stocked first aid kit, and I like that lifestraw idea. Water’s imperative and you really want it not to kill you — I mean, who wants to die of diarrhea in the apocalypse? It’s so undignified.
Cheryl Windham says
My fully equipped Emergency Bugout Backpack. My miniature schnauzer puppy Kenzi. My sewing/quilt-making/art on-the-go bag.
Claudiawench says
I’m thinking I’d like to take a fire starter, a knife and a gun?

Water, knife, matches
christytea says
My favorite book, a blanket, and ramen
Lauren says
A knife, water purifying cup and first aid kit.
drdv says
Now I’m with you. My bag would be hugh. It would have my husband, a crate of books & a knife. My husband knows all the survival stuff, and once he has my hut built he would take care of everything else while I read and then he would be there to act out the sex scenes in my books! What else would I need? HA!
Donna says
Cant wait to read. Love the series
Donna says
I would take a bugout bag a utility knife and my ipad with solar charger
Megan says
Knife, first-aid kit, water purification tablets.
Caroline says
All I need are books!
Sandra Tillman-Daniels says
Swiss Army Knife, Water in a metal can, toilet paper but I would be wearing leather, chains, hat, a silk bandana and boots.
Lauren D. says
3 things in my bag- my leatherman (multipurpose tool), flint steel (for fire) and a bow (weapon-arrows can be made). If we’re talking end of life as we know it, I’m taking it back ol’ school- give me survival tools:)
Karen Lane says
A knife,water and a O Kane
Dara says
Only 3 things huh. Well I guess they’d have to be a filled water bottle (filtering straw included), a humongous batch of matches in waterproof packaging, and a very large knife. I would really like to include a 4th item (survival bag which would include all the other necessities: food, rope, swiss army knife, thermal survival [hiking] blanket, first aid kit, change of clothes, tent, sleeping bag, etc.)
Tealeah says
In my bag there would be a knife, food, and water. Three is hard but I had to go with the most useful.
missloopy says
Knife, Water Bottle, Book!
Emma says
Kindle. Food. Water.
Elizabeth Shaw says
Water, Gun, and Smokes lol
Terrie Lynn says
A solar powered Kindle, water, and chocolate.
