If you were told you need to evacuate at a moment's notice would you have a plan? What would you take with you? Would you grab the first things that came to hand?
It's a question residents of the Canadian city of Fort McMurray were forced to answer after a massive wildfire caused an entire city to be evacuated.
Here is a selection of some of the more unusual items some people took with them as shared on Facebook.

Dog lover Shannon Loutitt took two dog poop bags, with her when fleeing the city's wildfires.
"My thought was: never too busy to be a responsible pet owner," she said.

Rodney Warr just could not evacuate without his favourite rum, Captain Morgan.
"No survival kit goes without a captain," he said.
The study found people in Japan and Singapore had an average of seven hours and 24 minutes sleep while the people in the Netherlands had eight hours and 12 minutes.
People in the UK averaged just under eight hours - a smidgen less than the French.
And it was a country's average bedtime that had the biggest impact on the time spent between the sheets.
The later a country stays up into the night, the less sleep it gets. But what time a country wakes up seems to have little effect on sleep duration.
Prof Daniel Forger, one of the researchers, said there was a conflict between our desire to stay up late and our bodies urging us to get up in the morning.
He told the BBC News website: "Society is pushing us to stay up late, our [body] clocks are trying to get us up earlier and in the middle the amount of sleep is being sacrificed; that's what we think is going on in global sleep crisis.
"If you look at countries that are really getting less sleep then I'd spend less time worrying about alarm clocks and more about what people are doing at night - are they having big dinners at 22:00 or expected to go back to the office?"

The study also showed women had about 30 minutes more per night in bed than men, particularly between the ages of 30 and 60.
And that people who spend the most time in natural sunlight tended to go to bed earlier.
A strong effect of age on sleep was also detected. A wide range of sleep and wake-up times was found in young people but "that really narrows in old age," said Prof Forger.
Dr Akhilesh Reddy, from the University of Cambridge, told the BBC: "I think it's interesting; there's been a trend for these studies using data from twitter and apps and finding interesting correlations across the world we've never been able to do by putting people in sleep lab.
"It highlights that although our body clocks are programming us to do certain things, we can't as we're ruled by social circumstances.
"We won't know the long-term consequences of this for many years."
Disrupted sleep in shift workers has been linked to a range of health problems, including type 2 diabetes.
Dr Reddy said the next wave of studies would gather data from activity and sleep monitors and "that's where the future of this is".
Two buses and a fuel tanker have collided on a major highway in Afghanistan killing 52 people.
An official told the BBC that 73 people injured in the accident had been taken to hospital in Ghazni province.
All three vehicles were set ablaze after the collision on the main road linking the capital, Kabul, to the southern city of Kandahar.
Accidents are common in Afghanistan where roads are often in a poor state and traffic rules rarely enforced.

Mohammadullah Ahmadi, the director of the provincial traffic department, said the crash was caused by reckless driving, the Associated Press news agency reports.
He said local residents helped fire fighters and first responders pull survivors from the wreckage.
Jawed Salangi, spokesman for the governor of eastern Ghazni province, told the BBC's Mahfouz Zubaide that he had seen documents showing that altogether there were 125 passengers travelling on the buses.
According to the Efe news agency, the collision happened at about 06:30 local time (02:00 GMT).

Space Invaders has been inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame, almost 40 years after its release.
The 1978 space shooter was honoured alongside Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, The Oregon Trail, Grand Theft Auto III and The Sims.
They join the six inaugural titles from 2015: Doom, Pong, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros, Tetris and World of Warcraft.
Titles are selected for the US-based museum based on their status among players, longevity and influence.
Hall of fame games become permanent exhibits at The Strong museum of play in Rochester, New York.
The winning games were selected from 15 finalists, which included Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider and the original Pokemon games.
The inductees span genres, decades and platforms but "all have significantly affected the video game industry, popular culture, and society in general," the museum said.

"Although a handful of shooter games preceded Space Invaders, its runaway success, innovative features, compelling graphics, and elemental themes captured the public imagination, spurring many imitators and a craze for arcade games," said Jeremy Saucier, assistant director of The Strong's International Centre for the History of Electronic Games (ICHEG).
Oregon Trail, in which the player controls a wagon of settlers crossing the West in the early days of American settlement, is fondly remembered by many for its fun approach to education as well as its difficulty, which saw players frequently "die" of dysentery.
'Virtual dollhouse'
Grand Theft Auto III, a game with violence and mature themes, made headlines when it was released in 2001. It was a big commercial success, selling 14 million copies.
"Grand Theft Auto III renewed debates about the role of games and violence in society while it signalled video games aren't just for kids," Mr Saucier said.
The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog were the first entries in long-running franchises for Nintendo and Sega respectively, and remain popular today. Both games spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs, including cartoon series.
The Sims, released in 2000, was described by the museum as a "virtual dollhouse game" in which players manipulate digital characters to create their own stories.
"The game has had universal appeal, with female players outnumbering males, and adults as passionate about the game as children," said ICHEG director Jon-Paul Dyson.
"By turning the computer into a toy to explore the complexity of the human experience, The Sims radically expanded the notion of what a game could be."

The leader of North Korea has said the country will not use nuclear weapons unless its sovereignty is threatened, state media report.
North Korea first tested nuclear weapons in 2006, after withdrawing from an international treaty.
It has made repeated threats of nuclear strikes against South Korea and the US.
But Kim Jong-un reportedly told the Workers' Party Congress in Pyongyang that he is willing to normalise ties with previously hostile countries.
A BBC correspondent in North Korea says Mr Kim tends to send mixed messages and movement observed at the country's nuclear site is consistent with preparations for another nuclear test.

Media captionBBC correspondent John Sudworth is reprimanded - apparently for cropping a photo of the North Korean leader
State media quoted Mr Kim as saying there should be more talks with South Korea to build trust and understanding.
And he said the country would "faithfully fulfil its obligation for non-proliferation and strive for global denuclearisation".
Analysis: By Stephen Evans, BBC News, Pyongyang
The speech is long on rhetoric and short on detail. It describes the aims but not the means of achieving them - the desired destination but not the route.
For example, it quotes Kim Jong-un as wanting to "build an economically powerful state and to develop the people's economy". Whether that means allowing more private businesses and going down the Chinese route to economic development is completely unclear. There is no indication that North Korea's leader has opted for that.
There is also ambiguity in his announcement about nuclear weapons. How, his opponents might ask, does he define the "encroachment of sovereignty"? Is he saying that a nuclear North Korea would only strike if attacked or might it be something less than that? It is not clear.
The paper quotes Kim Jong-un talking about peace: "It is our Party's goal to build a peaceful world free from war and it is the constant stand of our Party and the DPRK [North Korean] government to struggle for regional and global peace and security".
There may be some scepticism about this last sentiment in Washington.
The meeting is the first congress of North Korea's ruling party since 1980.
Mr Kim is the supreme leader of North Korea.
The KCNA news agency reported him as saying: "As a responsible nuclear weapons state, our Republic will not use a nuclear weapon unless its sovereignty is encroached upon by any aggressive hostile forces with nukes."
He said the government would "improve and normalise the relations with those countries which respect the sovereignty of the DPRK and are friendly towards it, though they had been hostile toward it in the past".
North Korea withdrew from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in 2003 and started testing nuclear weapons three years later.
International sanctions on the country were tightened in March this year after it claimed to have tested a hydrogen bomb and launched a missile into space.
They include export bans on materials used in nuclear and military production as well as restrictions on luxury goods and banking.
Leicester City's Premier League title has set a new standard for the whole of football and provided "inspiration for the whole world", says the club's vice-chairman.
In a rare interview with BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha - the son of billionaire club owner and chairman Vichai - also talked about his family's future plans for the club.
He also spoke of his relationship with "special" manager Claudio Ranieri and striker Jamie Vardy.
Srivaddhanaprabha Sr owns the King Power duty free chain which lends its name to the club's stadium. The family have rarely spoken publicly since taking over the club in 2010.
In the wide-ranging BBC Sport interview, his son reveals:
Ranieri was the first choice for the job;
He thought it was "funny" when scouts asked for permission to sign Vardy from a non-league club;
Next season's first target remains Premier League survival, despite going into it as champions;
He never believed they would win the league - but hoped to one day reach Champions League;
Promises to add "quality players";
Says the aim is now "to stay in Premier League as long as we can";
Questions why any player would now want to leave the club.

The best bits from Claudio Ranieri's post-title news conference
Italian Ranieri was a surprise choice as manager, with many pundits tipping him for the sack at the start if the season.
The 64-year-old lost his previous job as head coach of Greece after a defeat by the Faroe Islands - but Srivaddhanaprabha said he was struck by the former Chelsea boss.
"Claudio is a brilliant manager. The way he managed the media with the pressure of the team, he has so much experience with football," he said.
"The way he managed the players and put them out on the field was something special. We saw that when we interviewed him. He has something special inside and has all the plans in his head.
"We interviewed quite a number of managers and he was the one I chose the first time. When I met him, he was the first choice for me."
