What, exactly, does one bring to the apocalypse? How does one pack for that occasion? What sort of implements, tools, equipment does one need? These questions have no one answers but thankfully the movie industry has taken time to imagine what the apocalypse would look like and what people would need to survive. Check out these examples from bygone movies and how they dealt with catastrophic events. From the urine converter in Waterworld to the cricket bat in Shaun of the Dead here of some ways things you maybe need to survive the end of days.

Friends

The end of the world is a lonely place. Our insignificance as a species resounds in your ear as time ceases for man. In this dark period, you will need a friend. Take Fred from I Am Legend for example. Robert Neville is left behind to fleeing pockets of humanity to study and hopefully cure a virus that is wiping humanity off the map. Much like Tom Hanks' character in Cast Away, Will Smith's Neville turns to a mannequin for some human camaraderie. Having a dog is great, but human conversation can not be replaced. Hearing your voice and feeling like you are not alone even when you might be can go a long ways toward helping you keep your sanity.
