What 3 essential items would you pack to keep your business running?

Recently the UK government urged Brits to stockpile emergency supplies in case of national crisis (tinned food, batteries and bottled water...chocolate??). 

 

What 3 essential items would you grab to keep your business operating?

For me, I would grab coffee (can't work without it), my computer, and a charger. Haha here's to hoping there would be electricity 😂

 

What about you @cafebuenasgf@SmokinWings808, and @Clarice8

Well...sadly it just couldn't go very far without water and power at the capacity with which we use them. We wouldn't want to allocate water to throwing pottery at a crisis point. If there's no electricity - I probably lost my phone somewhere. Buttttt, we could have fun here for a while with snacks, whiskey (we have so many cups) and I do own an mini ice-maker assuming power is on.

to keep the business going...

 

MacBook, Square Terminal, iPhone w/ hotspot

I can't think of much else.  We are already fully solar powered with battery backup on all POS stations and WiFi nodes.  So the well for water and all normal Square stands and printers should work.

But in a national crisis I can't imagine I'll be slamming busy selling flowers.

For Personal..

MacBook, Kindle, Cases of Monster Energy

Flowers cheer people up, so you might even be busier then!

Three things?  My leather, toolbox with my leather tools and Coffee.  I have a feeling I would be busy.

Honestly, if we were in this kind of situation, I would make slingshots for those who didn't have weapons, I would make quivers people can actually use (I see a lot of decorative quivers that will fall apart in weather), and of course moccasins.  People will always need shoes!

@Faerly_Punk It's a tease post like that that's guaranteed to make me check out your profile and site Ann! 

Love the truly hand crafted leather - for those just doom scrolling here's my fave of yours! No idea if that's oiled/waxed finish?
