A homemade wool sweater(in case I run into bad weather) and my copy of "Collected Poems of Robert Service". I used to take the poetry collection with me on my outdoor excursions in college, I associate it with adventure and personal exploration.

Only two items is tough one. I would definitely take a knife with me. Number one thing daddy taught me never to be without. The second...can I bring my dog? He would be the other thing that would help me get through any situation and he is a part of my past in so many ways. If that wasn't an option (as I suspect it wouldn't be) then I would say a picture of my family. It's too easy to get lost in a picture. It tells a 1000 stories without the need of a library.
It's Always Worth the Read.

Wow that's really a hard one. Outside of necessities? A book and perhaps a family pic

Like everyone else have said this is very difficult. I will bring a stuff polar bear it has been with me since toddler years and she's small so I wouldn't get weighed down. For my second I'm at a loss I have to say a family picture as well but the future may hold something better.

I would take Black Bear, a stuffed bear that I have had since I was seven, and a letter from one of my best friends back in Ukraine. Other alternatives might be family photos or photos with friends.

This is really tough. A lot of things that have sentimental value to me or that I use on a daily basis would have no purpose in a post-apocalyptic world. Like a few others, I'd probably take a book, though I expect that after a few years of reading it I'd probably get tired of it, no matter how good it was. The other thing I'd take would be a locket I have that contains some of my dog's ashes.

I have to take pictures of my family and my Bible. These two things are very important for me.

I would also bring a picture of those I hold close to my heart. I would also take a journal and pen with me, not as a keepsake, but as a way to record the present and create a new history.

I think initially I would have taken a picture of my family since so many people died, but thinking from a survival standpoint I would grab a knife, a pot and something to make fire.

This makes me sound like a true milenial, but I would bring my cell phone. I say this because it has thousands of pictures, memories, of my family and life over the last 5 1/2 years. And the other object I would bring is my journal.

I think my family picture would be there for sure and the other would be my favorite book.
Rest all would be necessities rather than keepsakes.

I have an old ring that was given to me on my wedding day. It was my grandmothers. I would wear that still and a picture of my beautiful family. I have a daughter and husband which i love more than anything. Those two items could get me through anything.

I would take something small of whatever I can carry with me. Family picture, gold and stuff I could trade if I had to. A small Bible, my harmonica, obviously clothes and some things to get buy with. Some food. I'm used to carrying my kids around so the heavy bags won't matter.

That is such a tough question. I would definitely bring a family photo album and a pre-loaded full to bursting with books kindle, perhaps?
