BLUF: Top 11 get-home bag items [excluding guns because they're forbidden on live streams on YouTube]
When disaster strikes or civil unrest erupts, your priority is getting home safely. Your get-home bag isn't about living in the woods for months - it's about traversing potentially dangerous urban environments to reach your family and supplies.
On this evening’s episode, Jeff Emde, Randy Nantz and Chris Heaven cover their individual lists of what they feel are the top 11 essentials for get-home bags.

PRACTICAL TIPS | MAIN TOPIC
Your get-home bag needs practical configuration, not just supplies tossed in randomly. Choose a nondescript backpack that doesn't scream "I have gear" - gray man principles apply even here. Organize items by priority with quick-access pockets for essentials. Test your bag's weight - you must be able to carry it for miles without fatigue. Replace spoil-able food items quarterly and check batteries monthly. Practice using every item in your bag, especially under stress or in darkness. Include printed maps of your area with multiple routes home marked clearly. Add small comfort items like hard candy or pain relievers that boost morale. Consider seasonal adjustments - summer requires different preparations than winter. Keep critical medications in waterproof containers. Finally, add small multi-tools that extend your capabilities without adding significant weight. Remember: the best gear is what you know how to use when adrenaline is pumping and decisions must be made quickly.

While the mainstream media mocks preppers, recent history proves we're the rational ones. From the 2020 riots to natural disasters, those with proper get-home bags avoided becoming victims or government dependents. Beyond the basics, consider these advanced tips: First, add a portable USB battery with integrated solar charging - communications failure leaves the unprepared vulnerable and uninformed. Second, include a small notebook with emergency contacts, rally points, and essential information in case digital devices fail. Third, add a compact defensive tool that gives you options when retreat isn't possible. Fourth, package a day's worth of any prescription medications you need. Fifth, include small items for bartering - lighters, alcohol wipes, or coffee packets can be valuable. Remember, get-home bags aren't about paranoia - they're about independence. When systems fail and order breaks down, the government won't save you. Your preparation and self-reliance are your true security.
