Go Bag - Toddler Edition

Roo and I live in the middle of nowhere on a mountain.  Since there is a national forest below us on the mountain there are campgrounds.  Campgrounds draw all types even the moronic- those people who have no clue as to how to start, maintain and/or put out a camp fire.  Whatever the reason be it they are too drunk, stoned or just stupid these people are a real threat to our way of life.  That is why I have set up "Go Bags" for Roo and myself.  A Go Bag is also known as a Bug Out Bag (BOB) or a Get Out Of Dodge Bag (GOOD Bag).

Roo is my heart so her bag was the first to be completed.  It is a small mini backpack normally sold as a purse to teen girls.  I found it at a thrift store in near perfect condition.  It has padded straps and 2 pockets.  I like it over the cartooned backpacks because it is made from a heavier fabric like a normal canvas backpack.

As far as the contents...

• Britta Kids filtering water bottle
• hydration drink powder sticks
• toothbrush and toothpaste
• fruit snacks
• raisins
• juice boxes
• kids first aid kit with bug repellent wipes
• crayons and paper pad
• glow sticks

Since Roo is only a toddler I can't over load her little back with everything she would really need in a Go Bag.  I have put a few things in her bag that she can carry and would not be an issue should her bag be lost or misplaced along the road.  Also in her bag but not pictured is a small plush toy just for her bag.  This is like letting her bring a bit of home with us should we have to leave due to fire or other disaster.


*Added to my bag for safe keeping are copies of important documents, 3-7 days food, water, changes of clothing (vary depending on weather) and a more extensive first aid and survival kit.
