Do you have a go bag?

Where do you keep it?

What is inside of it?

    I’ve recently been made aware of the urgent need for a gobag in my life. The earthquakes in the news could happen near me

    I was thinking a light weight bag by the front door

    • very light weight sandals
    • electrolytes
    • change of clothes
    • expandable water bottle
    • cash
    • copy of emergency contacts
    • copy of passport
    • face masks
    • water life straw or purification tablets
    • small emergency ration like pemmican
    • extra USB cables
    • hand crank USB charger?

    This has to be light weight im afraid I’ll add so much it would slow me down if I have to climb down my building in an emergency

      Where you live in the world decides a lot.

      Add a bigger fixed blade knife. Good for defence, scare people away, splitting wood,

      Para cord. Rope is useful Radio- hand crank Solar power source

        My major use case is earthquake/flood have to abandon my primary residence situations, I live in a very hot and tropical environment, water is everywhere just not clean.

        Those are great additions

        • Para cord
        • Radio (maybe baofang?)
        • Crank/Solar Power generator with USB
        • Fixed blade knife
        • multi-tool

        Ideas I got from https://youtu.be/VM_12ZMAtW0

        • Compass
        • Headlamp
        • Alcohol pens
        • Duct Tape folded into square
        • Local area map
        • gloves
        • grayl water filter (looks bulky)
        • condor prime 21 back (i think maybe a water proof backpack might be better for a gobag)

          If you live in the tropics consider a large military type poncho and a small hammock. Sleeping on the ground invites bugs.

          Maybe small stone light like the ones runners wear for road safety.
