What Should You Pack In Your Get Home Bag?
A get home bag is a very useful piece of kit that should either be a part of your everyday carry or in your vehicle and ready when you need it. There’s a lot of discussion around the preparedness blogosphere about what should be in your get home bag. One thing I think is important to keep in mind is that we are all in different locations and situations. This makes a big difference when packing both your bugout bag and your get home bag.
With this in mind, today we’re going to discuss how to pack a get home bag that is tailor-made for your situation and lifestyle.
Why do you need a get home bag?
A get home bag is important because disasters don’t always happen when you’re sitting comfortably at home. Most of us have a job we have to go to everyday, kid’s soccer games and dozens of other errands that make up the lion’s share of our day. This means that the probability of you being away from home when disaster strikes is just as likely as you being at home.
This is where the Get Home Bag (GHB) comes in. Your GHB should basically be a smaller version of your bugout bag, tailored specifically to get you from wherever you are back to your home as quickly as possible.
This means that, unlike what a lot of other prepper sites might tell you that your get home bag needs to be tailored for you specifically since we all have different daily routines, commutes environments. For example, someone who lives 10 minutes away from their office is probably going to have a much different get home bag than someone that works on the road hours away from home day in and day out.
