Good topic man....
I have multiple "Go Bags"
One for my personal life, one for my airsoft, one for my Military, and one for disasters.
Basics I like to include are these......
Important papers
Birth certificates
Marriage papers
Doctors notes
Medication needs
Bank account info ( never the account number, but establishment, banker name, number, location )
Legal papers
A few MRE's
Bottles of water
Tinder
550 cord
zip ties
duct tape
K-bar
Cleaner of some kind
Clothes
Spare shoes
Toiletries
$500 cash
In case banks or what not go down, you have a way to pay for things or barter
Sharpie Markers
Fine tip and bold
Fire starter x2
Flint, push start, lighter what ever you are confident in using
Multi tool
Chem sticks
Engineer tape
There are a few other things that I always put into a kit, but these I feel are the most important. With this stuff I feel I could be dropped off just about anywhere and be able to survive for a while until help came.
Of course it is all going to change depending on where you are, the season, and how many people are with you. For a family it wouldn't hurt to have a 10 gallon tote filled with items. So you have something for everyone. And you should always plan to have supplies for at least a week or more.
