What is in everybody’s go bag?

[shreenz]

I’m thinking of adding blankets. But some people just do the basics such as food etc. I don’t want it to be too heavy, and I tend to go overboard. So I’d like some good advice. Thank you everyone.

Anything other than a space blanket would probably be too bulky to pack in the bag.

Take a look at this topic:

 

The second and third posts there lead to numerous discussions about the contents of Go Bags. Happy reading...!

I have blankets in vacuum bags to save room.

I like the suggestions in the 2017 #5 Awake.

A delicious 80-year-old sister of Italian origin told me about the survival bag: 'I don't know which pasta to choose: spaghetti, macaroni, shells. In your opinion ?' When I asked her how she counted cooking them, she stopped the image. The tender giggle with my beloved sister, it was so funny☺️

After looking at this thread I’ve decided to update my go bag.  These are the contents of my bags.  We have 3 for the 2 of us.  I threw out alot of the food a little while ago and haven’t replaced.

Après avoir regardé ce fil, j'ai décidé de mettre à jour mon go bag. Voilà le contenu de mes sacs. Nous en avons 3 pour nous deux. J'ai jeté beaucoup de nourriture il y a quelque temps et je ne l'ai pas remplacée.  

If I put all that in my bag, Linda, I fall backwards with him. I ordered through a brother who obtains survival food (from a specialized center) in the form of enriched bars, even the water is packaged in a special way, and the advantage is that the expiration date is approximately ten years after purchasing the product. I don't think I'll enjoy it, they don't look very tasty. An advantage if you're not a sharer: no one will ask for them in the cellar or attic. I didn't forget chocolate for the children of course,  young and old ones 😄

Bivvy bags are very practical, just in case you are stuck outdoors and don't have space to carry a tent.
