FAQ
Common questions about this kit
One bag per person?
Yes — every person old enough carries their own, sized to them. A single huge "family" bag is too heavy for one person and dies if that person is separated. Distribute.
72 hours — why?
That is the typical window for emergency services to reach a widespread disaster. The bag buys you those three days; beyond that you are into a longer-shelter scenario.
Cash in the bag?
Yes — small bills. ATMs and card readers go down in disasters; cash still buys gas, water, and a room. A few hundred in twenties, rotated yearly.
Rotate the contents?
Yes — check it twice a year (when the clocks change). Swap expiring food and water, fresh batteries, and update the clothes/shoe sizes for growing kids. A stale bag fails when you need it.
User Reviews
Go-bag kit and my day-hike essentials share the one-bag-per-person-and-rotate-yearly gospel — cash in small bills and sturdy shoes by the bed. A rehearsed plan beats a stale one.
