Bag

Once you decide to take the 1st step of preparation you’re going to want to put together a small bag that you can keep in a place that makes the most sense for you; at work, in your trunk, in a closet, or your garage.  Now there are many variations for these types of bags; get home bag, go bag, bug out bag, whatever you want to call it, it’s just a bag to help you get by when a situation arises where you need to move from A to B or even just an assembled bag to have what you need when you need it even if you’re just staying put.  

Before you go out and buy a huge expensive pack that’s intended to use to hike Everest, you may want to decide what you’re going to put in it.  When you decide what you need, gather it up and figure how big of a bag you really need, a small book bag may be all you need, or maybe not.  I do suggest that it is a size that you are comfortable carrying when it’s fully loaded for at least a few miles. 

For instance, I use a small dark brown backpack of good quality, but doesn’t scream, hey I have stuff that you may want to take from me.  Here’s a list of what’s inside, just for ideas.  Keep in mind I live in an urban area with desert and mountains not too far away depending on which way you choose to go.  I travel often from San Diego to Sacramento, CA about a 550 mile trip one way, or from San Diego to Phoenix, AZ about 350 miles away.  So I like to be prepared if I have a break down in my car and have to spend the night in an unknown area.  There’s a whole lot of nothing on either of those trips that I make at least once a month.

Contents of my back pack:

1 skivvy roll (shirt & underwear rolled inside of a pair of good boot socks)

1 beanie, bandana, lightweight jacket & 1 pair of hiking pants

1 filled 32 oz aluminum water bottle & 1 empty collapsible water pouch, 32 oz

Food, jerky, granola, nuts, sunflower seeds, fruit leathers

First aid kit, Chap Stick, sun block, water purification tablets

Fire making materials

Multi tool & a fixed blade knife

Flash light & a headlamp, with spare batteries

Emergency blanket, the sleeping bag kind

Pen, note pad, ear buds,

Spare wallet with $100 in small bills, and an ID
