Come'on no duct tape?? Essential in every bag you make
Lately I've been paying more attention to buying DT too, cause Home Depot has like 10 versions. I've been getting the medium high strength waterproof type. It kickass in adhesiveness, strength and removal.

A little to heavy. But not a bad idea if you don't mind the weight.

That's a lot to get home. If you are 50 miles or less, you can dump half that and move faster.

Is this really a get home bag or a bug out bag? With the fishing items, blankets, etc it seems more bug out. The sheer size of it makes me think that as well. Couple repeats in there too, not sure if mistakes or purposefully done.
Other than that, I'd rate this a good bug out bag, definitely set to get away from home for a while
How many of you guys have separate dedicated "get home bags" and "bug out bags" or do you use them for both purposes

I have 3. 2 identical and then the ALICE BOB is 3rd, and the real one, bigger and more clothing and gun stuffs. I don't call them different names, never did.

My main camping bag is designated as my BOB, it has the things that I need to survive a few days. My GHB in my car is almost completely different. Some same things, but way lighter by comparison.
The wife also made a BOB too. I need to make a GHB to store in her car as well.

I posted earlier in this tread, I pack it as a bugout bag. It stays in the car for 2 reasons: 1. Its in the car and cuts down on having to grab it if time is short. 2. It acts as a get home bag if needed by removing un-needed items if there is a need for speed. I look at it like this, the items in a get home bag all exist in a bug out bag however, the opposite is not true.
There are a couple duplicates on the list. Space blankets take almost no room and weigh nothing. Lighters, knives and flashlights would get distributed between pack and pockets on a trek. Keeping them in the bag ensures I have some for my pockets. I feel it is important to keep certain items in your pockets in the event you are separated from your pack. Also remember, two is one and one is none. Items can always be tossed out but cant be added. I have also considered that there is always the possibility I may be traveling with another person. They can always carry some items. A long sleeve shirt (in the pack) can be made into a simple sling sack. The pack I use has an integrated fanny pack that detaches and can be worn separately while not effecting carry of the main pack. It is easy to hand to someone else. I try to keep any duplicate items split between the main and fanny pack.

My "get home bag" has a TV and PS4 in it. I will be well entertained during the opening stages of the apocalypse.

Mine has condoms, rope, and gags.
...........Yeah, I'm gonna need to see a current picture of you so I can be sure to stay the fuck away from you when SHTF!

You know, condoms are a good item to keep in the bag. They can carry water, food, etc, be used as a glove and of course there is the intended use. Rope. given Gags... hmmm.. doubles as a head band?
Seriously though each time I read one of these threads I realize a little more that I'm not in a bad way during a serious emergency. The only thing I lack is access to firearms, and that is a big problem, but that aside, I've got at least a week of normal food another two weeks or even more in emergency rations, two weeks of clothes, however long 10 gallons of potable water will last me, I got mobile shelter with heat, air conditioning and electricity for a few days at least and guaranteed transportation.

We all are. Unless we are flying in money, the most we can do is buy things little by little. Camping stoves, dry food, a hand tool here and there, ect.

What size lead acid battery are you carrying around your neck to power those things?? My PS and HDtv suck about 18amp per hour through inverter..but I have it running through my solars to keep it topped off, and only testing it in blackout..in a real scenario though..fuuuuuuuck that 50lb battery lol

Condoms are definitely good for multiple SHTF uses..BUT make sure to get plain old dryass version. Don't want to be using it to hold water and wonder why your tongue and throat are numb
go with the Classic!
good call.
8 12 volt heavy duty truck batteries, feeding into a 1500 watt inverter and charged by a 13 liter diesel engine with twin 90 gal tanks. I also have a small fridge and microwave.

If we can consider my truck as my bug out bag, then yes. I mean after all I spend 99% of my life in here, The only time I'm ever away from it is during the 3 or 4 days per month I spend at "home".
