What did that picture have to do with your question?
But, to answer your question (if I didn't already have a fully packed bag), if I had a minute or two before I had to flee I'd grab my backpack and pack it with (and my answer will not include things already packed in my BOB, just regular normal stuff here in my apartment)...
Peanut butter
Tuna fish
Can opener
Tylenol
Caffeine pills
Ephedrine
Contact case, contact juice, all my extra contacts
the glasses they issued me in boot camp
2 pairs of socks
2 pairs of underwear
1 pair of the pants they issued me in boot camp (mine are slightly different than the one in this link. No drawstring, they have the typical zipper and button like normal jeans and typical front pockets found on jeans)
my Dad's old Navy cold weather jacket he was issued in the 70's. (Very similar to this but without the hood. I'd secure it to my backpack with the straps on the bottom made for a tent or sleeping bag.)
Leather belt
the knife they issued me at my first duty station
the largest Nalgene-style water bottle I own, filled with water
Several bottles of water
Flashlight, extra batteries
Ear plugs
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide
Pocket magnetic chess set
I have a large and light weight hiking backpack, I've fit a cube shaped 36-pack of beer in it with room for more. And of course, I'd walk out the front door with my two melee weapons in hand: a homemade mace/baton and short sword.
Out of all of the books I have ever read, I think about only one book more than I do Hitchhiker's. That book is the Art of War.
THIS is the version I have, and highly recommend it.
I have yet to read And Another Thing..., but I have heard that it is both good and different. I would say get more opinions on it before reading Mostly Harmless. Moreover, if you do decide to go on with the series and want something that looks good on your shelf, I would recommend The Ultimate Hitchiker's Guide. It is the first five and some short stories, which are also good. Moreover, it is a very nice looking book. Then have And Another Thing... as a separate book beside it, as it should be being from a different author.
If I remember after I get around to reading And Another Thing..., I'll come back and update this.
Good gravy, please read this ASAP. The Hitchhikers series is phenomenal. I have read the entire series multiple times, and it's great every time. Funny, insanely smart, sarcastic, just great. Douglas Adams was an incredibly smart guy (regularly lectured on technology, etc) and it really comes through in the books.
Seriously. Get this now. I have this bad boy and it's one of my most prized possessions.
Here you go.
The book that I had contained all of the books in the series bound together. Similar to this

If I bought the books again I'd definitely go for the classiest option. It ain't cheap, though.
Here ya go!

It's a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy themed case. If you haven't read the books, I really wish that I were you so that I could read them again for the first time.
This is the best, in my opinion
The Deluxe Version is awesome
And the BBC Radio series is not too shabby either.
dude, don't even talk to me about dropping much more on liquids than you should. You should read my review series... i've got so fuckin many bottles. here's the link to the latest one, links to the others at the top of the page. I've got 36 bottles from Gremlin to review and about 18 from rasta vapors that just came in. Prolly do AiV, greenmanjuice and a few others as soon as I can get through what I have left.
Best gift I ever got anyone in my life, i got it for one of my best friends: http://www.amazon.com/The-Ultimate-Hitchhikers-Guide-Complete/dp/0517226952/ref=pd_sim_b_1
leatherbound with a silk page holder. I don't really like tobacco flavors, but I trust the chef and I love HHGTTG, so I ordered beeblebrox, slartibartfast and deep thought samples. I'll be writing a review of them shortly, along with all the other flavors I didn't try from the chef last time.
those are awesome. They come in paperback and hardcover too, but I love the leather bound ones because they look almost like bibles.
I would do it on a particular printing of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I'd pick it up used off Amazon if I were you
This might be what you're looking for: http://www.amazon.com/The-Ultimate-Hitchhikers-Guide-Complete/dp/0517226952/
I believe that's the version I have on my shelf at home.
