Do you have a go bag?

Where do you keep it?

What is inside of it?

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.
