Go Bag, Bug Out Bag (BOB), Get Out Of Dodge (GOOD) Bag

I prefer “Go Bag” but everyone has their own name for it, it’s the bag that’s ready-to-roll at a moment’s notice.

*crackle on the radio*
“beeeeeeeeep”
“This is the Emergency Broadcast System – an asteroid is heading for Earth – zombies are wandering the streets of New York City – it’s TEOTWAWKI time.”

Whatever the situation, cyclone, nukes, disease, could you move at a moment’s notice? Ready, set, NOW – where’s your Go Bag? Don’t have one? C’mon, chop, chop! Doomsday won’t wait for you to pack. Build one – tonight!

Suggested ingredients for the bag of goodies:

1. food
2. water filtration system or iodine tablets with wide-mouth water bottles
3. maps of your surrounding area and a compass
4. GPS if you have one
5. flashlights (at least two, preferably headlamps)
6. extra batteries galore
7. matches, matches, and more matches . . . toss in a few lighters, too
8. first aid kit
9. list of important phone numbers, loose change, and a calling card
10. a good “how to” SHTF book
11. emergency shelter
12. prescription medicines you may need
13. knife
14. handgun and ammunition
15. crank radio
16. extra socks
17. rain gear (get wet in some parts of the country during the wrong time of year and you’re 100% SCREWED)
18. soap
