Look behind you in that dark corner.
It's a special bug out kit, I hesitate to say bag, because it might be several
NECHA stands for:
Never Coming Home again.
Time to think about it, it could happen!
This kit contains the best possible available tools, weapons, clothing, gear and food, said kit weighs in excess of 300 Lb. at MINIMUM!
So lets start this ball rolling!
You need an EMP proof vehicle, a nice antique Winnebago for example, modified thusly:
Extra cabinets and storage areas.
A PVC pipe drainage system you can "run out of camp" that is easily disassembled. Store quick lime.
An expanded fuel system and extra propane tank.
Fiberglass armor inside the walls.


Put extra around the fuel and propane!
Always pack what you need to get where you THINK you're going, then double it!
Pack at LEAST 3 full changes of clothing for each member of your group plus cold weather gear and blankets/sleeping kits.
Pack at least thirty days of food and medication, then double that!
Tools and spare parts are a must! so is extra oil, antifreeze, water and gas treatment in case of crappy gas!
Military grade run-flat tires and one of these to keep you driving after the windshield gets shot out.

Choose your weapons wisely, they must be reliable, durable, harsh conditions proof, durable and of commonly available caliber.
A special place for fluffy and tiger to travel, might think about at least four chickens as well. maybe rabbits and gerbils?
Materials to sprout grains, beans and mushrooms, a few bags of fertilize won't hurt on the roof. beef that motor up!
Power is king, make sure you have generator back ups as well.
Here we go, basics. add to it?
 
I think the more common term is an "INCH" bag: I'm Never Coming Home. Yes I do have one, and it is probably much to heavy to carry. It is more a grab and go that gets loaded into the car given that the car will be operable. It includes more tools and shelter, a camp kitchen; more clothing, all the things you have in a BOB, but double the quantity.

I like to keep things organized in bags, and there are four that are most critical: the INCH bag; the Medical bag; the Food bag; and the ARK, armed response kit. All ready at the drop of a hat.
 
I too prepped for never coming home again. My gear would be to heavy to carry by one person. So, I bought a game cart, 400lb capacity, made to haul a deer out of the woods. Meaning it's just as good cross country as on a logging road... Cabela's... folded it'll fit behind my truck seat.

I have pliers, adj wrench and extra strapping, 100ft of 550cord, a tiny can of 3-1 oil, all zipped into a pouch thats attached to the frame. Ready to go at a moments notice.

I have spent my whole life getting to where I am. I guess I am ok with spending the remainder of it staying there.

I agree, and my Plan A is to bug in and stay in place, but if a wild fire or flood, whatever, are heading your way and you have to evacuate you want to be as well prepared as possible.

I understand respect that preparation. I think I have planned my location pretty well. Not in a flood zone and fires are a possibility but we cleared our area. A massive earthquake is a possibility. Even then I will be under the rubble or picking it up. It is not about stuff, this is our home. I am sure I haven't thought of everything but whether it's zombies, terminators, flying monkeys. Here is where I will remain.

I like the way you think. The older I get the more I feel like you do. If my time is coming, I'd just as soon have it come right here at home.
 
Depends what the reason is for someone to "Never Come Home". What I take with me would be different in a disaster/Red Dawn situation than in an on the run/witness protection type situation.
 
Remember Mt. St. Helens and Katrina? "home" wasn't there any more.
And a big BTW... you know all those family albums? best scan and digitize
them, same for important papers like ID, birth certificates etc. they themselves
likely won't be accepted but the numbers will lead the authorities right to the
originals!
