One more thing: plasma.

Plasma behaves like electricity. During the 1 week of pole shift, you do not want to have any metal items on or near you. Because they will conduct the plasma arcs toward you, frying you to a crisp. Cache them with your other metal items in a known location nearby. I will update on how to pack metal properly soon, when Brian is finished with how to protect your body from debris, extreme weather, etc., which I already touched upon.

Also, get in shape. Nothing will help you if you are unhealthy.
