Get Home Bag
This is a bag you may want to keep in your car when commuting to work to give you the best chance of getting home in case of bad weather or other incident that may hinder your normal commute home.
Always keep enough gas in your car to get home x 2. Gas stations may not have power to run the gas pumps and you might have to take alternate routes or back track if roads are closed/blocked.
- Map with optional routes to get home. Look for alternate driving routes and hiking routes.
- Car Emergency Kit
- Extra money/cash. If you need to get gas and credit card machines are down, cash will get you enough gas to get home.
- Water bottle with water filter.
- Backpack with First Aid Kit, Hiking Essentials, and Emergency Meals.
- Hiking shoes. These should already be broken in to prevent blisters.
- Weather appropriate hiking clothing. Layers are always best.
- Self defense items.
