Go Bag - Mom Edition

Here is my personal Go Bag.  Inside are things not listed on the 72 hour kit post as this is for longer term needs.  I have the bag set up for 7+ days.


Now this picture doesn't show everything in my bag but a small sampling of the items I have in there.  From the picture you can see I have food (long term food bars as well as homemade MREs), water (both a canteen, purifying tablets and a life straw), hygiene items (female urinary device, toothbrush/paste, first aid kit etc) and some weather gear (poncho, fire starters and thermal blanket).

I have tools in my bag that would be needed should I have to hike to safety.  Items like a compass, knives, extra socks, gloves, etc.

Also I carry extras for Roo should something happen and her bag gets lost.  (Remember she is only 2 years old so she can't carry her own supplies.)  These extras are things like training pants (Vacuum sealed to compress them so they don't take up a lot of room in my bag.), toddler snacks, small toys, weather gear for her etc.  Since she has short little legs and can't walk as fast or as far as I can I have been debating tucking my Ergo carrier in my bag.  The only down side to this is with my Go-Bag I'd have to carry her on my chest. 

For a list of items to have in your own bag please refer to my 72-hour kit post.
