    Have a printed checklist. This is handy when you do your monthly checklist. I recommend zip ties be added to your list along with easy to wear clothes. A hat. Scarf. A jacket that is orange/red with reflective material on one side and dark brown on the other side. Most important is to pick a location to head in case of fire, flood, or earthquake. Wrap gear unpowered in emp proof bag along with your emergency radio. Most valuable is to practice using the gear including the your fire

    You will need some dog food, medications, and a meeting place in case you are not together. Also, a person that is out of your area that you check in so they know you are safe and no one will worry and no extra resource/time be spent looking for you.

    Thanks Wah! I was just about to get rid of my older camping backpack. You just gave me the good idea of using it for emergencies.

    Great video! Thank you so much for putting this together. I also started making an evac bag, and I would add an AM/FM radio with NOAA capabilities. There’s options on Amazon that run on batteries, hand crank, and solar power. For any socal people, Major’s Surplus and Survival in Gardena has a lot of great stuff for packing your evac bag, and I got a lot of supplies you listed at that store.

    Thanks for sharing this! would add a strong light. Battery operated radio. And a change of clothes. Also, things for pets - their dry food, some wet food they really love, a collapsable pet bowl for water, their meds and passports.

    I recommend getting these paper soaps. Half of one is enough to wash your hands. I would say a foldable jacket too and sunscreen.

    Good idea... Medication and / or pain relief. And extra clothes & socks , underwear. And with your extra snap links, you can put a pair of lightweight boots or sneakers.
    And a flashlight and battery power radio, batteries

      Val, can you share more about nylon grocery bags to carry the cats. Because that is something I am worried about, how to pack and carry all your pets in the case of emergency.

    I have 5 ready to go for my family. Each back pack has the exact items. I camp a lot, so I am familiar off grid and primitive camping. Get familiar with your gear by actually using it. Also, know how to camp. It will prepare you.

    Maps!!!! No guarantee wifi will be working and the paths you are familiar with may not be accessible! Also, sun protection of some sort, as heat stroke is real!

    Have you ever consider to invest a freeze dryer? You can freeze dry you own food and cold soak it.

    I’d probably also pack physical maps, pain meds, rubber gloves and dog food, if it were me. I’d recommend packing more of the feminine products btw, as it’s doubtful two would tide anyone over for very long :) Interesting video, thanks!

    We have two small kids, the thought of packing this bag paralyzes me. One of us would have to carry the baby, so only one could carry a backpack. The amount of things we could take would be very limited. My first instinct would be to take the bike trailer. It's not reclinable or packable but would help carrying stuff and can handle offroad. I feel whatever we plan for, life would hit us from another side. Anyone else got that feeling?
