Hurricane Relief - What Would You Bring? 534
andyring asks: "In a few weeks, I will be going with a group from my church down to some of the hardest-hit areas in Louisiana and Mississippi to volunteer in the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. We will be there six days, and have 10 people going so far. At this point, I don't know much more than we'll be in either Slidell, La. on the northeast shore of Lake Ponchartrain, or Pass Christian, Miss., right on the Gulf Coast near Gulfport/Biloxi. Not knowing what we'll be faced with, and having somewhat limited room for supplies, tools and equipment (probably a U-haul trailer), what would you bring on a journey such as this? Any Slashdot readers between Lincoln, Neb. and the New Orleans area interested in contributing to our effort, such as donations of equipment/supplies/tools/etc?"

I like it, it's a good spin: In their first military victory, planned nearly three hundred years ago, the French [wikipedia.org] brought destruction to the people of New Orleans.

I'm sure the tress you were protecting were grateful for the sacrifice of the trees and other natural resources used to produce the video camera, battery, and their respective manuals.
