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.
Yeah…I gotta finish mine and keep it topped off. Mine would be for floods / tornadoes / possibly wildfires. Mostly contains the basics / similar stuff as I’d take backpacking. Just have to allocate space for dog food/treats, collapsible bowls, etc cause I would have to care for them.
Items of note:
- Rechargeable flashlight
- 20,000 mAh power bank
- 20W foldable solar panel (clips onto the outside of my pack)
- 3x Mini Meshtastic nodes
- Old cell phone (no cell service, but has offline maps + Meshtastic app + long battery life)
- 2x FRS walkie-talkies
Figure could hand out a couple of the Meshtastic nodes if infra is down in order to keep in touch. Trying to figure out a way to add the Meshtastic board inside the case of my FRS walkie-talkies to save space, but haven’t gotten around to that yet.
