Your GoBag is the lifeline that moves with you. When disaster strikes or the call to move comes without warning, these essentials ensure you’re not just leaving — you’re leaving ready. Whether your destination is a safehouse, a friend’s place, or an open campsite, this checklist aligns with the GoBag or Stay Home™ doctrine.

🎒 Core Gear

The backbone of any GoBag — the tools and supplies you’ll rely on most.

• Durable backpack (water-resistant, multiple compartments)
• Multi-tool or folding knife
• Weather-appropriate spare clothing
• Compact emergency blanket

💧 Water & Food

Staying hydrated and fueled is the first rule of survival.

• Water bottles or hydration bladder
• Water purification tablets or filter straw
• High-calorie energy bars or MREs

🔦 Lighting & Power

Don’t get left in the dark — or without communications.

• LED flashlight with spare batteries
• Compact headlamp
• Portable power bank + charging cable

🧩 PSK Note

Your GoBag should complement your Personal Survival Kit (PSK), bridging the gap between your daily carry and long-term shelter plans.

✅ Pro Tip

Set a quarterly reminder to inspect and rotate your GoBag gear. Batteries corrode, food expires, and clothing needs to match the season.
