GoBag Essentials – Core Gear for Mobility & Survival
GoBag.One™ | GoBag or Stay Home™
Your GoBag is the backbone of your mobility plan — a self-contained survival kit that keeps you moving and adapting for at least 72 hours without outside help. The gear you choose here can mean the difference between control and chaos when the mission changes.
Even if your primary strategy is to Stay Home, a well-built GoBag serves as your portable core — ready to deploy instantly. Think of it as Always Be Ready to Go Camping™ whether you’re under your own roof or on the move.
💧 Water & Purification
- 1–2 liters of water storage (bottles or bladder)
- Portable water filter (e.g., Sawyer Mini, LifeStraw)
- Purification tablets as backup
- Collapsible container for collecting untreated water
Rule of thumb: Minimum one liter per person per day — double it in hot climates or high exertion.
🥾 Food & Nutrition
- 72-hour supply of compact, high-calorie rations
- Energy/protein bars for quick fuel
- Small stove or heat source (solid fuel or alcohol burner)
- Lightweight cooking pot or cup
Choose foods with long shelf life, easy prep, and minimal cleanup.
🏕️ Shelter & Clothing
- Compact tarp or bivvy sack
- Mylar emergency blanket
- Weather-appropriate clothing layers
- Spare socks, gloves, and hat
Layer clothing to adapt to changing weather and activity levels.
🔥 Fire & Heat
- Waterproof matches
- Ferro rod and striker
- Windproof lighter
- Fire tinder (cotton balls, fatwood, etc.)
Carry at least two ignition methods in waterproof packaging.
🛠️ Tools & Repair
- Multi-tool
- Fixed-blade knife
- Duct tape (flat-packed)
- Paracord (25–50 ft)
Tools should be rugged, versatile, and familiar to you — practice using them before they’re needed.
⛑️ First Aid & Hygiene
- Basic trauma kit with tourniquet
- Personal medications (7-day supply)
- Antiseptic wipes and ointment
- Toothbrush, paste, small soap
First aid supplies should be tailored to your skills and environment.
🔦 Lighting & Power

- Pre-loaded offline maps on your phone
🧩 PSK Integration
Keep a PSK (Personal Survival Kit) inside your GoBag for rapid access. If you need to drop weight or move fast, you can take the PSK and still retain critical survival tools.
✅ Pro Tip
Pack in layers: daily-use items on top, mission-critical gear in the middle, and backup supplies at the bottom. Practice repacking your GoBag in the dark or while wearing gloves.
