[Ask SN] What is in your emergency backpack?

34 sats \ 9 comments \ @mf 25 Feb 2022 bitcoin

I've been thinking about this more and more, and would like to learn more from all of you.

Besides the more obvious things like clothing, and first-aid kits, what else do you keep at hand?

Battery bank
Portable solar
Water cleaner (make it drinkable)
Heat/cold blankets
Long-life food
... what else?

I didn't know SN had a bigger prepper community.

I always have a swiss pocket knife on my key chain (i have this one: https://www.swissarmy.com/us/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Medium-Pocket-Knives/Huntsman/p/1.3713).

I don't have an emergency backpack. I'm not a big 'planner' but I'd like to get better; I tend to spend most of my time thinking 2 weeks out at most.

Prepping in this way though increasingly seems reasonable to me.

Possible good additions to the list:

self-defense "tools"
actual tools: rope, duct tape, multitool
emergency comms, e.g. satellite phone, walkie talkies
flashlight

If Internet goes down then 2-way radios will be a high priority item.

Just 12 / 24 words One copy in my head (memorized) One copy inserted into an online blog One copy inserted into a nice picture (steganography) and saved somewhere online One copy in an encrypted USB memory (with TailsOS and with me always) One copy in an encrypted USB memory hidden in a secret place, easy to recover

I don't need anything else.
