Here’s Exactly What You Should Pack in Your Go-Bag (Plus Where to Buy It)
If the wildfires in Los Angeles have taught us anything, it’s that things can change in an instant. That’s why it’s important to be prepared. Having a go-bag at the ready is no longer just for doomsday preppers; it’s the smart, prepared thing to do.
Last year we took a one-day critical survival skills training course with Thomas Coyne, the founder of the Thomas Coyne Survival School. He emphasized that with little to no gear in tow, common injuries and getting lost can turn quickly into survival scenarios. Oftentimes, help may not just be hours but days away, which is why it’s so important to have the proper skills and tools to survive. Though the volume of what you can tote along with you is a bit different when preparing a go-bag versus a day pack, many of the same principles apply. In the case of the more robust go-bag, it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
