Do you have one? What is in it? Do you leave it in your car, or in the house?
I will go first, and answer my own questions. Yes, I have one. What is in it?
1.) Life straw, water containers (2)
2.) Snack food - Clif bars (2) Granola bars (2)
3.) Head lamp
4.) Cash
5.) Mylar blanket
6.) Bandana
7.) Spare batteries
8.) Ranger Lighter
9.) Whistle
10.) Paracord
11.) Fire kit
12.) Flashlight
13.) Duck tape/Electrical tape
14.) Multitool
15.) Note pad
16.) Sharpie, pens, pencils
17.) Zip ties
18.) Face masks
19.) IFAK
20.) Mechanic's gloves
21.) Dopp kit (hygiene)
22.) Fixed blade knife
23.) Two person bivy
24.) Security (all legal)
25.) 55 gallon drum liners (2)
26.) Carabiners, Silcock, key, compass
I carry everything in a 3V Gear 72 hour Assault Pack (backpack). Everything fits fine albeit a little on the heavy side. I do not plan on cooking, and have very modest accommodations for sleeping and shelter.
I do not leave it in my car, and have gotten very lazy about carrying it. We have had some break-ins of cars in the neighborhood, so I don't want to leave it in the car, even in the trunk, overnight. I am seldom more than five miles from home, so feel my EDC bag (which is less than half the size and 1/3 the weight) would cover most emergencies. I know I should be more diligent about throwing it in the trunk when I am traveling longer distances. My bad.
What is your approach?
