this decision for me would depend entirely on the situation. why am i running? what's my mode of transportation (can i pack my car as much as possible?), if any?
is this a full blown evacuation? meaning would the roads be packed?
where am i going to and how long is it expected to take? do i have the intention of sleeping indoors in the near future, or will i be roughing it?
if i'm simply having to leave in a hurry only to settle down and establish a normal life elsewhere, i'd be trying to bring a lot more luxuries like my computer, sound system, glassware, etc.
if it's a survival scenario in which i'll be running for my life and likely spending nights outdoors, i'd try to stuff my pack accordingly: 2-3 changes of clothes, tarp/tent, sleeping bag, camping pot, matches, lighters, water bottle, glasses, small spare blanket, towel, can opener, multitool, pocket knife, large buck knife, rope, plastic poncho, ziploc baggies, road map, mini flashlight, mp3 player, weed, tobacco, papers, burt's bees lip balm, talcum powder, toothbrush, some cans of food. dunno, probably more.
i've got a lot of this stuff sitting around my room. some of it's actually still in my 65 liter pack that has been sitting next to my door since i got back stateside this past summer. it reads like a lot of stuff, but it can pack down.

I'd grab a duffel bag and stuff it with the contents of one of my drawers (important documents), a photo album, my master cultures (of course), toss some ammunition in there for whatever I plan on carrying (at least one long gun, a couple pistols), said firearms (half of which are always on me anyway, that's easy). I've got a camping bag that I'd probably pick up on the way out with some survival type gear. I've always got a couple multi-tools on me. Ideally, I'd like to toss them all in my classic car and drive off in it. If that's not an option, I'm sure I'd be upset at the loss, but hey, it's just stuff.
I really need to put together a bug-out bag and re-plan my house to get out fast. Been thinking about it for a couple years now, just been caught up in day to day crap that doesn't matter. If I had half of my shit already in a duffel bag, and my camping bag expanded for water purification and ultimate survival, I'm sure my last ten minutes could be spent in a more productive or meditative fashion before I left. Also, I'd want to bring a dutch oven. Those fuckers are sweet!
I also agree with Tiny, however. What I bring and what I do for fifteen minutes is determined by the reasons I'm leaving.

I have a tub ready to go. It has water purifier, knife, cooking supplies, ax, twine, a few other nick nacks for trading and monitary value. Other than that my wool sweater, pistol and rifle with about three hundred rounds for each. I figure with the firearms and ammo I can get all the laptops I need and a cool sword.
