Hello people and welcome to a informative post by Legomaster. I have done this post for a very special reason and you have mother nature to thank for that.
I am getting attacked by Italy(hurricane Florence) and if you do not already know, at the time of this post it is a CAT 4 hurricane. I live in the east coast and there is a almost 100% chance I will get buffered by the storm. However, there may be a need for me to evacuate my home and leave for awhile. How will I save my Legos from the flood maybe collapsing my house? Easy answer. Bring them with me!
This is my ELK(if you don't know what that means, read the title). If you are to make your own, a hardware case with adjustable dividers is preferable, and if possible, waterproof.
The next thing you will want to do is bring a few easily collapsable lego sets. If you want to bring a huge pirate ship, be my guest if that's the only thing you want to bring. Lego dragons are a good idea as they collapse very easily from ball socket joints.
See as shown.
This allows you to stash many pieces together to conserve space and to bring many lego items with you.
The next item I will discuss is minifigures(droids count, they have a soul to!). Bring you absolute favorites, for example for me I chose my Iron Man Mark 50 suit, some ninjas, and a few guardians of the galaxy. I have quite a few more, but these are some of my top priority minifigs.
Save a special space or two for them, and remember: You can put more minifigs in small empty places, like in small nooks and crannys left by disassembled lego sets.
Unless you have a blog like me or are super serious about lego(I am both), you probably don't need to do this step. If you are like me, bring concept ideas. This is a awesome arm design I have waiting that uses gray minifig legs as claws and it has a lot of potential.
The next piece of advice is bring small builds. They can fit nearly anywhere and are fun to do small reenactments with. (Imagine Captain America Civil War but with small robots)
Here is an essential one and I will say it three times to get you to remember it.
BRING A BRICK SEPARATOR!!!

I brought 3 out of my 20 some and let me just take a moment to applaud Lego for this lifesaver.
A few more things I would like to add are that you need to make it easy to carry so you can evacuate with it and to keep it "sane". Don't bring a heck load of random legos that you have no experience with.
That just about wraps this up. If you are in the way of a disaster, remember. Although lego is amazing, don't put your life at risk for it.(i.e. jumping across a fast river to save your ELK)(:-))
Sorry for not posting, as school has caught me in a flash flood of homework.
The lucky blog getting reviewed today is Bricknerd, a blog that houses amazing builds. I would say 3.5 because the builds are amazing but they don't go in-depth on details and build mechanics. However, that can give you room to explore parts you want to use and skip the ones you don't.
That is it for now. Subscribe if you want, I don't care. See you maybe next week. Bye!
