I am not surprised at any of that but I am intrigued with the disposable glove.

You'd be clearly able to identify your son's clothes for a quick exit.

Don't forget:
* Gas mask - for dealing with chemical spillages, excess smoke, etc. (see below).
* A blanket - useful for picnics or if the vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere and you need to keep warm.
* A large cardboard box - this can be used to carry things or you can flatten it so you can lay it on the ground when changing a tyre or inspecting under the vehicle. In desperation, it can be used as kindling to set the car on fire to keep you warm.
* A large, heavy-duty plastic bag - this can be used to preempt or deal with leaky containers, especially of paint. Can double as a rainproof jacket. Also useful for concealing bodies.
* A shovel - need I go on.

What part of a baby do you adjust with vice grips?

No car.

At home I have... a box of plasters and a near empty pack of panadol.

My dainty little hands can only use a mini or baby vice grips as they're known around here, when opening a baby Powers when out hiking ;-)

I read an article about the london floods back in the 50's. It was caused by a huge storm surge in the north sea and it's responsible for the Thames barrier being built. A guy in the article was saying that it could technically happen again and everyone should have a "grab bag" for emergencies. This isea is to have enough basics to last until the waters recede or until you get evacuated. Just some basic clothes and food. Nothing fancy, just enough to fit into a small backpack.

I don't have one. I do have a bum bag at home filled with medical supplies. It's from backpacking and it made sure I never needed to go to a dodgy third world pharmacy (I never wore it, It was always in my rucksack but it was a handy container). I also have loads of thermal and waterproof gear. Once again it's from backpacking and hiking. I think I could probably assemble a decent grab bag in about 10 minutes.

I don't drive though, so I might need to steal a bicycle

I remember looking up the Heinrich maneuver on youtube and watching it several times... both the one for adults, and the one for kids... I thought I was prepared, I was anything but.

When a family member started choking, I panicked and totally forgot everything you are supposed to do.. I just ended up whacking them on the back like an idiot. It only lasted 30 seconds and the person was ok, but it showed me that you only think you are prepared, until it really hits the fan.

Car: First aid kit and one of those multitools with 20 blades and a screwdiver and saw and all that, which is probably useless.

Home: Fire extinguisher, first aid kid, various stuff in medicine cabinet.

No food or water stored though.

I think you may be over worrying OP.
