"go bag"

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place or covered else where. My search mainly came up with mainly for sale items.

Do any of yall keep a go bag handy in in case of emergencies? If so what do you use, and what do you keep in it?

I am looking at this eagle bandolier and thinking of using it to keep a couple mags, flash light and first aid kit.

I use a Maxpadition Versipacks JUMBO E.D.C. S-Type as my Go-Bag. They make one for both sides so I would suggest you get one for your weak side. You can get a smaller model if you don’t that much room. It is a great bag and I keep it in my truck all of the time.

I keep a Sandpiper three-day-pass backpack in my Jeep. First aid kit, fire starting materials, thermal blanket, signaling materials, maps, survival rations, chemlights, water purification tabs, and a note pad.

In addition to that, my typical every day carry includes a knife or two, a couple flashlights, my phone, and ipad.

In the winter I also keep an A-bag with a heavy parka, thermal underwear, gloves, watch cap, and heavy snow mukluks (this bag is actually what the Air Force issued me and requires me to carry out on alert, I just leave it in my car all winter because it's probably a good idea to have it)

My main concern is not the end of the world or the zombie apocalypse. Out here in Montana, if you get stranded on the side of a highway, it might be a long time before anyone comes along- and even more questionable if they'll stop to help you. Not so bad in the Summer, but can be downright deadly in the winter. I would probably keep a firearm and ammo in the car as well, but military bases don't look to kindly on that practice these days.

My go bag is just a generic coleman backpack from wallyworld. It stays in the truck and is meant to get me from where ever I am to my home. The wallyworld pack isnt out of desire to be low key. Rather it is based on the realities of the distances I travel from my house. I wont need a bullet proof case to navigate 5 to 10 miles back home on foot.

At the home, we are avid campers. So we have a lot of good (not cheap) gear. All the camping gear is already prepacked in plastic foot lockers. This can be part of a bug out load if vehicles are working. Routes and rally points and destinations are already set. In addition the ruck sacks stay semi packed and can be completely loaded out in about 15 minutes. With a family of 5 The likelihood of us bugging out on foot is small. Yeah we can do it but you can only carry so many supplies. So unless it is something very very very major, we will be bugging in.
