What Is a GoBag?

GoBag.One™ | GoBag or Stay Home™

A GoBag — sometimes called a bug-out bag, emergency kit, or survival pack — is your mobility plan in a single grab. It’s a pre-packed bag containing the essential gear, tools, and supplies you need to survive for at least 72 hours without outside help.

Think of it as Always Be Ready to Go Camping™ — whether you’re in the shelter of your home during a blackout or under an overpass in an evacuation. The skills and gear are the same; the only thing that changes is the environment.

🎯 Why You Need One

When a crisis hits, hesitation wastes precious time. Your GoBag ensures you can move immediately when staying put becomes unsafe — or grab organized essentials when you decide to hunker down.

• Immediate evacuation with no packing scramble
• Core survival needs covered for 72+ hours
• Adaptable for weather, terrain, and threat type

🎒 What’s Typically Inside?

Contents vary by climate, skills, and personal needs, but a solid GoBag usually includes:

• Water & purification tools
• Food & energy bars
• Flashlight & spare batteries
• First aid kit
• Multi-tool or knife
• Firestarter or lighter
• Warm clothing & emergency blanket
• Important documents (copies)
• Cash, maps, and communication devices

See the complete breakdown in our GoBag Essentials guide.

🏠 GoBag and Stay Home

Even if you plan to Stay Home in most situations, a GoBag is often the first thing you reach for. It’s portable, organized, and ready to deploy — whether you’re walking out the door or locking it behind you.

The GoBag or Stay Home™ philosophy means you train and equip for both. Your GoBag is your spear point. Your Stay Home plan is your shield.

🧩 PSK Note

Many preppers also carry a PSK (Personal Survival Kit) — a compact, scenario-specific kit for everyday carry. Think of it as a mini-GoBag that works in tandem with your main bag or home setup.

✅ Pro Tip

Store your GoBag near your primary exit and keep it ready at all times. Run a grab-and-go drill quarterly — aim for under 60 seconds from decision to movement.
