GHB: Get Home Bag

In this video I’m sharing my get home bag. This may give you some ideas for your own GHB. Although this is my GHB, it also serves as my truck EDC bag.

A get home bag is a kit that you carry with you when you leave your home, generally this will stay in your vehicle, in case of an emergency and you have no options but to find an alternative way home. The items included in your GHB should help you get home safely.

Understand that get home bags are personalized per individual, this bag is not perfect and changes or adaptations may develop depending on new information, distance, environmental/seasonal changes.

Take into consideration the main factors that will affect your bag; Distance from home, potential climate conditions, urban or rural, road or trail, plains or mountainous, etc.

Highlighted Suggestions, additions, and advice from viewers:

- Prioritize physical/mental fitness over gear. Train and challenge yourself so that you can become more prepared to handle an emergency situation.

- Make sure to use or test your gear for its intended purpose, and keep it maintained. For electronics, review directions or manual for proper use, and warning labels or hazards.
