I call mine a ?get home bag? and my wife makes fun of me for it, but I don?t care. This is what I can think of off the top of my head:
Knife
LED flashlight (Corp giveaway)
Lighter & matches, 2 Esbit cubes
50? or so paracord
1 person pot with some food in it. I think it?s sardines and mandarin oranges right now. It rotates, but always a metal can. I give it to homeless people when the mood strikes and replenish.
Baseball cap (Corp giveaway)
Technical fleece vest (corp giveaway)
Fleece sleeping bag (light and small packing)
Fleece blanket (Thank you American Airlines)
Long sleeve shirt I don?t care about not having in the drawer (Corp giveaway)
2 bottles of water
Water bottle (Corp giveaway)
First aid kit
Hand sanitizers (alcohol and quat ammonia - Corp giveaway)
Sanitizing wipes (Corp giveaway)
Paper map in a ziploc for the area I drive in
Last year?s work gloves
Duct tape
Bandana
2 carabiners
Cheap binoculars
3 P51 can openers
It?s all in a giveaway backpack from work
I think that?s about it. I carry weird stuff for work, so I have a biosecurity kit in the car too (dust masks, trash bags, coveralls, overshoes, disinfectants, etc) if I would need it. Almost all of it is composed of the ?trash and trinkets? you find at work conferences, so it costs me just about nothing to put together and my thoughts are I won?t be anywhere in the car where I?d need super durable stuff. I specialize in water treatment, and clear plastic water bottles, exposed to sun on your backpack while walking, as long as it?s filtered (bandana), will disinfect water as good as most field chemistries after a couple hours. So will the juice from the mandarin oranges. I also have legit water chemistries with me most of the time in my vehicle for purification.
