The GoBag or Stay Home™ Philosophy
GoBag.One™ | GoBag or Stay Home™
Two plans. One decision point. GoBag or Stay Home™ is a readiness doctrine — not a debate. Both options require planning, skill, and the confidence to act. The mission is simple: be prepared to execute either plan when the situation demands it.
Your GoBag is your spear point — maximum mobility and adaptability. Your Stay Home plan is your shield — maximum shelter, security, and resource control. Together, they make you ready for anything.
🎒 The GoBag Mindset
Mobility is freedom. A GoBag keeps you moving when staying becomes unsafe. It’s built for speed, adaptability, and survival away from home base.
- Evacuate in minutes, not hours
- Carry core survival gear for 72+ hours
- Adapt to changing conditions and threats
Even in Stay Home situations, your GoBag is often the first thing you grab — organized, portable, and ready.
🏠 The Stay Home Plan
Sometimes the safest move is no move at all. Staying home can be a tactical choice — a secure, stocked position with control over your environment.
- Full access to supplies and shelter
- Protection from exposure and hazards
- Long-term sustainability without resupply
For families, the elderly, or those with medical needs, a fortified Stay Home plan can be the most effective defense.
🏕️ Always Be Ready to Go Camping™
Whether you’re in your living room during a blackout or under a bridge with your GoBag, the skills, mindset, and gear are the same. If you can camp, you can survive. Train where you are, and you’ll be ready wherever you end up.
📊 Decision Matrix
Use this quick reference to choose the right action for the situation:
| Situation | Threat Level | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| House fire | Immediate, direct | GoBag |
| Nearby wildfire | Hours away, wind shifting toward you | Prepare GoBag, monitor, Stay Home until evacuation is safer |
| Tornado warning | Minutes to impact | Stay Home (shelter in place) |
| Civil unrest approaching | High, moving toward you | GoBag if routes are clear; Stay Home if safer |
| Winter blizzard forecast | Predictable, prolonged | Stay Home if stocked; GoBag only if shelter fails |
🧩 PSK Note
Your PSK (Personal Survival Kit) supports both plans. Keep one ready whether you’re going or staying — it’s the compact toolkit you can carry on your person for immediate capability.
✅ Pro Tip
Run a quarterly drill for both plans. Practice loading the vehicle and leaving in under 5 minutes. Then run a Stay Home drill — lock down the house, secure resources, and establish comms. Confidence comes from repetition.
