MOST IMPORTANT ITEM for your "get home bag" ? GOOD WALKING SHOES ! Lots of folks in Florida go around all day in sandals, or light duty tennis shoes. Office workers may wear leather dress shoes or ladies' dress shoes. NONE of these are adequate to walk for long distances - especially via "off-road" routes. And DON'T FORGET - a couple bottles of water, plus a few granola bars. Walking requires a lot of effort - avoid walking at midday. And DON'T walk "off-road" at night !

Great to see a woman's prospective on GHB\BOB bags. 19:17 I have a bag like this too. The Velcro strap on the inside is for keeping items in the large back pocket from coming out when you open it. The one on the outside goes over the zipper to prevent it from opening when you tear it off. Also your tampons and pads can be used in 1st-aid as well. For the times when gauze Isn't enough. Being a man, I get made fun of for having them in my 1st aid kit. But if I have a cut that won't stop bleeding or a lady needs one I have em.

I think that we should hear testimony experience from people in Manhattan that had to literally walk home after 911... what they would have needed in order to get home. Water Shoes Dust mask Safety Preplanned stops for interim. Several. Make arrangements prior. Get to know store owners etc. Frequent the stores in between your house and destinations so you know the store and people that work there. Build friendships and trust with eachother to help each other.

The folding e-bike in a Faraday bag is an excellent idea!!! My suggestion would be that if you ever had to use your get home gear wear the backpack instead of attaching it to the bike. If you run into trouble and have to abandon the bike in a hurry you want the pack to already be on your back. A suggestion for everyone is once you have assembled a GHB get out and hike with it and see what its like to carry it for 10 miles or so. Train regularly to gain strength and stamina. Look for lighter alternatives and rationalize your gear if the pack is too heavy.

Use an old sock to put your sun glasses in to protect them. Your signal mirror is also good for first aid. Everything in your red zipper pouch can fit in the first aid red pouch. You should consider Darn Tough and Injini or a combo of each for socks. Will save your feet from blisters. Add #36 bank line for everyday usage that can be disposable and Its 350 lbs per foot. A small sharpening or honing kit for your knife blades would be good. A small pair of pliers that have a better grip than a multi-tool would be good. Laplander Folding Saw, small Silky Gomboy saw, or an Old Timer 69OT Premium Trapper folding knife that has a blade, saw, and strap cutter comes in handy for fire building or if you have to make a splint out of branches. UCO Titan storm proof matches should be added to your fire kit. A small whistle on your chest strap for emergency signal is a great idea especially if you have kids. A stainless steel water bottle with nesting cup for food prep, disinfecting water, and it can be filled with boiling water to keep you warm at night. A Deuce of Spades trowel for cat holes so you don't leave a trace when going #2 in the bushes. Lastly some Uniheat 72 Hour Heat Packs for hand warming during cold periods. You can safety pin a pair of socks in your coat next to your kidneys and put the Uniheat pack in the sock. This will keep you warm for up to 72 hours. You can transfer the socks to your blanket with the safety pins and sleep nice and warm and then transfer back to your coat when your read to go again. Good video and good ideas overall.

I would use a small piece of porcelain to break windows only a touch shatters them. I actually carry a marble size in my fanny pack.

You store a M95 I would add some mint life saver candy, those will help keep you breathing during smoke. Those come individually wrapped and perfect for those with breathing issues. For your medical kit I would add a couple mini tubes of super glue. For your communications what you have is sufficient but take small mylar bag and put electronic inside the bag and wrap in half then put into another mylar bag with reusable seal.

I'm 68, female, and familiar with managing a rollator and mobility issues. You might try a very lightweight sling bag for bare essentials, snack, ID, and some cash. It clips over your rollator bar or can be worn crossbody style. It's amazing what you can fit into a small one. Been in your situation and a manageable LIGHTWEIGHT emergency bag is totally doable. You'd ditch the purse and throw your ID and keys in and clip a mace on the outside. A waist pack works well too. At least you would have some essentials. All the best!

elastics and plastics break down over time so using you bob regularly keeps everything in working order

I would reccomend a couple of audio books. Great storylines and excellent narrators. The first is Going Home the second is called The Borrowed World. These audio books will make your mind think of different scenarios. Important thing to consider. Have some form of shoes/boots in your vechicle. A large contractor trash bag can function as ground insulation and a poncho.

I would Add Wet wipes sunscreen a hat umbrella toilet paper extra battery for the bike and a bike lock emergency money and write down all your cell phone emergency contacts on a piece of paper and addresses in case there's no internet but you're able to get around❤ Extra spare keys in case you get locked out or lost them🤷‍♀️

Awesome video... love the fold up e-bike in an faraday bag!!! Great idea!

The average person can walk about 3 miles per hour. So about 7 hours for a 20 mile trek plus rest. Folding bike will cut down to about two hours but will make you a target in an EMP emergency. A skateboard with handle could also be an option. Maybe an inflatable pillow and sleeping pad for longer distances. And a folding trekking pole to keep stray animals away. A hand fan or atomizer for a hot day. Most rechargeable batteries must be depleted and recharged every two months or so. And have a minimum max operating and storage temperature range. Cars in summer can reach 130 degrees so be careful. Likewise in cold temps could be rendered useless.

@gccheryl4038

In bigger urban & suburban area where I am that thing would be a magnet for the desperate. But if an EMP actually happened most folks won't have a clue so heading home on foot asap may have a strategic advantage. Our climate is pretty brutal hot/steamy so packs need to be super light and hydration prioritized. No sleeping or cooking junk, only snacks and 1st aid.

I bought some packs of lifeboat food blocks, which last almost forever in a hot/cold car, and pack tons of calories in small squares. They store in your car backpack without needing rotated out.

I might think of adding a compass and or a GPS system.

Remember if you are in an accident or something happens on the way home ( or someone else) the fleece sleeping bag and emergency cover will help someone if they've gone into shock.

One thing I take into consideration is average walking speed for normal people, which is15-22 minutes per mile or about 3-4 mph. BUT we're not always walking in a straight line, we're going up and down hills, around winding roads, maybe going down a canyon or broken bridge. I would say 2 mph is more realistic. If you are 50 miles away from home and walk about 10 hours a day, it would take about a day and a half to 3 days to get home. Do you have the gear or ability to sleep the night somewhere? What about in wet or cold conditions? Important things to consider depending on your situation.

Google Maps allows you to click either driving, walking, or biking icons when you map out your route. So you can see how long it will take you to get home on foot, which will help you plan the contents of your bag better.

Ebikes are good but are heavy, bulky and good ones are very expensive. Cheap ones carry a significant risk of fire . You have to keep them charged. For GBH, a normal 20" folding bike is good for riding moderate distances and some people go much further. Lighter and more compact. All the usual advice for daily bike commuting applies, regarding quality tyres,spares, tools and accessories.

This is by far the most comprehensive GHB demo I’ve seen. Many great ideas. Thank you!

You sure have a lot of stuff!! Glad you have a change of clothes. Mine is an overnight bag with a small survival kit in it. I am not worried about an emp, but natural disasters like hurricanes. I don't think Maine will be a high value target unless New Hampshire attracts for taking most of their coast line. I have added a roll of quarters for vending machines and a stack of 5 dollar bills for buying supplies. Stores may not be able to take credit cards and won't have much change on hand. Nice well thought out video. Thanks!!

I used to live in the Pacific Northwest, a water filter and a poncho were necessary because securing water wasn't a problem, and a poncho was to keep you dry. Now i live in the desert southwest and i carry a five gallon water jug and the poncho is for shade. Consider where you might be when the worst happens. BTW, all of our vehicles are equipped with a bike rack, and its not uncommon for me to throw a bike on the vehicle as backup. Add a small scissor to cut the moleskin.

A reminder that the menstrual pads are perfect for a bloody injury/compress and eye patch, if needed

Great bag! I agree on the trash bags etc. You might want to place the radio inside an "EMP Proof" pouch or wrapping. Love the ebike too!!

I think for the first aid kit, the part you asked about might be to hang it up while the kit is open to see what's all there quickly if you need hands free. Hang it over a hanger, or carry a s hook with you and hang on a branch ect.. the kit bag is set up like a overnight bag that is for traveling that opens up and hangs in the bathroom while getting ready.

A couple of you be Law Enforcement, one be the psychiatrist & you, well, you are the person the has no idea what is going on (because they've got the wrong person). I know a guy. Law Enforcement turned up ,with psychiatrist, to lock him up. He had a similar name to the Person they were actually looking for... 'Get your friggin' hands off me!'

You really outdid yourself on this video! Kudos. You covered pretty much everything ☺️

I know you said that you would have a jacket in the car, but I would add a windbreaker to your fleece coat. You can move around better while keeping the rain off. I'm a HAM radio operator, but GRMS is good. Check for local GRMS repeaters to increase your range. I would change the battery bank with one with a solar power bank. I would also have a sewing kit. Sometimes you have to fix things in the filed. Doesn't need to be large.

A bic lighter would be a good item to keep in your small outside pouch. I like the idea of the little pouch if worse came to worse, you could always tear that off and ditch the big bag.

Definitely a good point! 😊

You’re inspiring me! I used to have a get home bag in all of my cars but I took it out and never put it back! I’m totally going to work on this today. Thank you! PS I think you’re local to me. 😊 I’m in Portsmouth NH and I love seeing a New England girlie rocking it on KZread! ❤

One of my favorite KZread channels is She Equips Herself - a Boston girl and her LEO husband talking about survival, prepper stuff, and being wicked prepared!

Great video. I think you covered most of your bases. Even chafing ( the most forgotten demon. Kudos for the electric bike. Recommendations: Convert your external bag into a GTFO bag. Something to grab in an emergency, where you just need to get away. Bare basics. Knife, filter, light, lighter, etc. Ditch the cable saw. They are almost worthless. Get thepocket chainsaw. Similar to the cable saw, but it has a chai.saw chain rather than a thin cable. Maybe rap up an extra pair of pants in the jacket. Theremany times, especially for women, where a backup pair of pants/jeans would be needed (i.e. skirts, shorts, damaged cloths). You do have the leggings, but would that be enough? You are in Maine, right? Rain gear, or would that be in your car Maybe add an emergency vest, for when stealth is not an issue. Shetler: Really Big Monkey set up one of those mylar tube tents, filled two of the mylar sleeping bags with leaves for insulation, andcrawel in between. Like i said great video, thanks

From what i was told about in the event of an EMP that most cars will still crank!! I was told after an emp event happens and cars die i was told to wait 5 or 10 mins after the event you should try to crank your car or vehicle and most should crank. But everyone should have a get home bag in their vehicles just incase.

I've heard all kinds of different theories, including that one. Until I can run my own experiments, I'm not sure that I trust what any researcher tells us 🤣 But as sensitive as all of the electronics are in modern vehicles, I have a hard time believing there would be no damage to ECU's, starter circuits, and charging systems. All it takes is a small percentage of cars to become disabled on roads and parking lots to create traffic jams for miles. Add that to the mass panic and no electricity .. your trip home would definitely be a challenge! -Rob (Mr. WP)

​@@wickedpreparedthe information came from an ex military member that worked in nuclear engineering

All great ideas. I have both buyout bag and get home bag. Bug out bag has ideas as if was going back packing. No matter how you make one up- make one. Yes you may be uncomfortable but you won’t die. Thank for sharing

I've been planning a get home bag, so I was so happy to find your channel. Thank you for all the valuable information. I really like the E-bike. Super idea. There will be people that may will want to take your bike as you are attempting to get home. Proper protection would be a good idea. 🏠

Thank you for showing your bag. I’m afraid people would steal your bike from you for their own needs. Stay safe I’m buying the back pack. You need a protection I definitely would add that. Stay safe

I take my bags with when camping, I know what is truly needed or a waist of space. Yours is great if there is nobody else around that didn't prepare. A grab and go for me (with people around) would be cordage, cover, knife, lighter. A bag with food (snack like) and water.

Thank you for your video. I watched many GH/BO bag videos and I always get an insight or a reminder for my own sack. Key take aways is...don't be afraid to use it for non emergencies. I try to follow the once a month check, but sometimes LIFE. Needless to say, when I did a yearly update, I found that my aspirins were expired, ointments were getting close to expire, cliff bars stale etc So it's a good idea to go through it monthly....like filling up for gas check it. Grocery run check it. Some useful things I like is the mini waterproof rucksacks. All is well and dandy until the rain comes or water changes the contents. jst some sidenotes. Appreciate it.

Great video. Very well thought out! Thanks for your help. Thanks for your service 🏠 Maybe add some monofilament fishing line and some hooks of various sizes. You could cut a branch for a quick rod if needed.

Decades ago I and a programmer from work had to finish payroll before leaving. We rode out an ice storm from lower Alabama. We both lived in the same direction. As a boy scout leader: i had my full camping backpack. we decided to go home once the payroll was finished and secured. We managed to get over Red Mountain and slid on the frozen bridges. We became separated once we reached an appropriate site. Indeed i used my pack items and boots to get me home by hiking the best route. BE PREPARED.

Great ideas as always Jara! I especially love the idea of all black clothing. I don't even remember what clothes I put in my bag. I'm gonna have to look & possibly update. I really should rotate out the food too. Thanks for the reminders 🏠 ❤

One person suggested rather navy blue, which is less noticeable at night.. Black making a dark shadow.

this is excellent bag! Especially being a woman. I don't want to have a huge backpack when I have to lug . I didn't see it in your bag but maybe I missed it? Having a cup for your tea your coffee... And one good stainless steel tablespoon as well as having some kind of miniature setting for heating something on top of a fire... Also, I think it's a good idea to have one of those silver shirts that protect you if there's radiation... I have one at work folded up just in case

This is a great well organized bag!!! Your red medical bag is an EMT bag. It is meant to be worn on a waist belt, but you can rip it off the Velcro and use it. Some one else mentioned garbage bags. Contractor thick bags are great and don't take up much room. I would add a 4-6 inch knife like a Ka-Bar (its 7 in, but something like that). Yes it can be used as a weapon, but it is really good for digging Cat Holes for when you got to go #2 and you need to bury it. It is lighter than a little shovel. You can use the pummel on some as a hammer. I loved the fold-able electric bike. Great video!!! 🏠

I keep knee hi stockings to filter water

Thanks for sharing!! You have given so much information about this bag!

🏡 Your videos are some of the best out there for common sense bug in and bug out situations.

I find your videos to be very helpful as I try to make up my survival packs and other preps as well. As I have been watching, I have thought about what I would add to my get home bag and I came up with one item to add. How about gaiters to keep your pants and socks dry? God bless you and your husband in everything you do.

🏠💪🏽🙌🏽 great video and content! I’m going to have my wife watch this as she sometimes thinks I’m a bit “EXTRA” about being prepared. We are in Earthquake and blackout country so just having this type of kit in the car would be essential in those situations! Thx again! I subscribed to ur channel as well!🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💪🏽🙏🏽

I have been told that the number 1 item survivalists would have is the contractor’s plastic bag

The only thing I'd add is a stash of money coins and dollar bills maybe hidden where the cover is Lol now that you know its there.🤣. Great video thank you. 😊

I love that you’re also in Maine, helps me figure out the right things to pack 😅

🏠 Great Get Home Bag and gear!

My first aid kit has a pull strap for quick access when both sides of the zipper are pulled up from the bottom. Great video.

🏠 This was great, Jara! I have a bug OUT bag but it is in my basement. Moving it into my car today! You mentioned several items I had not thought about, too, so I will re-watch this video with pen & paper in hand. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated! 🩷

Very impressed you have an ebike in your vehicle.

Jara, thanks for including your links. You mentioed several items I do not have yet, and the links will make my research much easier.

I like the simplicity of the gear and it makes it more realistic and feasible for everyone. Great video ❤️🇺🇸!

I have a Garmin InReach Explorer unit for communication text messages, emails, weather forecasts, topo maps, electronic compass. That 66i unit is a very good choice for you too. Thanks for the video. 🏡

The Caffeine gum is a good idea… I carry instant coffee and have dumped it into a partially empty water bottle shook it up and drank it at room temperature - It’s far from great but it gets the job done 👍

🏠 Great info. I love that you approach these bags from a regular person point of view instead of some of the more extreme set ups. I think I have most of what I need and got a backpack yesterday. So I am going to set this up asap.

Thanks for watching! I appreciate you ❤️

💙🇺🇲 Use a sock to store your dewalt sunglasses in, this will help keep the scratches to a minimum. If your socks are too small, have your husband, teenage boy, etc..to donate one of their's. 😊😊😊

🏡 Great pack! I have one but I need to check review my items and continue building/improving it.

One suggestion ... if you want to include chocolate, instead of candy bars(especially Reese's pb cups) that melt in hot weather, toss in a bag of Tootsie Rolls. Not the same, but they don't melt. That's what I was told a few years ago when making care packages for the troops overseas. M&Ms are iffy, but you might want to try a few and see. I used to keep a mix of peanuts, raisins and M&Ms in baggies for road trips and they survived a week or more during the summer (possibly longer if we hadn't eaten them all)😂

If you're carrying a two-way radio and an AM/FM/weather radio, add a corded earpiece to fit the jack you have. An adapter is often available to fit if the jacks are different. I like the dry box idea, definitely don't get the cheapest one you can find unless you don't mind using your supply of duct tape to hold it together after the hinge or latch breaks. Most important, though, is to keep the weight down because your only goal is to get home and excess weight will slow you down. In the backpacking world ounces add up to pounds, and pounds equal pain - it's a great motivator to use the smallest backpack you can possibly get away with. Your only goal is to get home ASAP.

Hi Jara. I really loved this video. It was very helpful. I really appreciate you bringing the idea of a folding E-bike as part of your Emergency Preparedness. I found some affordable options on Amazon. ❤

You may want to add some reflection tape inside your pack. That way if you want to be seen you can be or not if there are circumstances that require stealth. P. S. Never store water in your vehicle for drinking. It can poison you after a while.

Thank you for the video. It has helped me remember a couple of more thing to add to my bag. Not sure if you mentioned this point…with the ebike you might want to have an extra tire tube and tire changing kit just in case. And a pump. Thought of that for myself after listening to your video.

Subscribed... i would get a better headlamp and Flashlight and i would place the radios in a waterproof bag. Oh , and i watched the whole video.

I L❤VE your organization, thoughtful prep, and mostly I have never once thought about a get home bag!! One thing I might add is a lightweight telescoping cane, ankle, knee braces sling fabric (scarf) bike, great idea!! Add hot hands/feet, wool gloves. Gun /ammo. It's so awesome you included the websites to order all this ❤ thank you!! So much!!! Add antibiotics.🏡

I am seriously impressed. You are so thurough! You've brought up so much I've never even thought about.

These were great ideas, thank you! I like how you put everything in separate bags to organize it. Here in the desert we have a problem- we can't store anything in our cars, due to extreme heat. So our bags would either need to come into our workplace with us, or be kept at home as emergency bugout bags.
