Let’s say you work in Raleigh and live in Garner. The roads are iced up and you just slid in to the ditch. You are 200th on the tow truck drivers list and all is getting worse. It might be time to begin walking home. Grab your “Get Home Bag” and start walking. Also, your bag should be comfortable with a wide shoulder strap OR backpack. It will begin to get heavy.

•Walking shoes – these may already be on your feet. They should be at least somewhat broken in so they don’t make your feet sore and extra socks would be a good idea too. Remember all those folks walking out of NYC on 911?
•ball cap
•Jacket – to knock the chill or rain off depending on season
•Gloves – work type gloves would be better in this scenario
•Knife (but this should already be in your EDC, that’s Every Day Carry)
•Multi-tool (again, you should already have this on you)
•Headlamp with spare batteries
•Dust mask or handkerchief
•Water – amount depends on your situation
•Basic blood stopper bandage
•Spare ammo (you are carrying right?)
•meal replacement bar X 2
•energy booster – 5 hour energy
•Lighter
•Pen/paper
•25 feet of paracord
•10 feet of duct tape
