Smart man. Those things cost a fortune brand new.

One trip back in, about 30 seconds to do it, and whatever you could reasonably hold in your arms, what would you get? Assume all family and pets have made it out safely. Whatever you don't grab will be lost forever.


If my family & pets are ok there isn't a damn thing in my house that I can't replace. All of my guns are in fire resistant gun cases and I have scanned all the important family photos and are stored on my computer that has carbonite backup. Are there things that I would hate to lose? Yes, but noting is worth risking life and limb over.

I'd make double sure I logged out of T-D, Chicken would surely approve.

After personally experiencing a burglary, a major house fire and a flood, I ain't tied to stuff any more. They'll make more stuff today.

I have a safe deposit box (or two) and have remotely backed-up my personal movies and images.

Fire? Come at me bro! I'm getting a check. You'll get the hose.

A man after my own heart.


You have any pictures of your collection?

My handgun, some physical pictures, and my 1st Ed of Villains by Necessity.

Probably grab a bunch of my books.

Oh, and Scruffy's Med school diploma.

Some artwork I've done over the years. Everything else replicable or on some online storage.

My brother's shirt. It still smells like him.


That is really sweet, my eyes got a little misty over that.

My mom passed away when I was little. My dad had bought my mom some beautiful silk fabric when he went to Japan. She made an evening gown out of the fabric, and made the same dress in miniature for me to put on a doll she had bought me.

I would save the dress and the doll with the little dress.

I was going to say I would grab my laptop but it would probably be better to let it burn and get a new one with the insurance money, it is getting old anyway. I guess I might would grab some clothes if I had been sleeping and wasn't dressed.

Most of my irreplaceable things are all in a fireproof safe that is good for 2 hours so I'm hope to God that its burned to the ground by then.

Just my 4TB backup drive. And if my daughter wasn't able to get the dolls she's most attached to, I'd try to get those first.

Camera, .338 win mag. Photo files.

Everything I have can be replaced, i wouldn't worry too much if it all were lost. Except the photos.
