Get Home Bag

Get Home Bag Essentials

A get home bag is a smaller, lighter bag for one purpose: getting from wherever you are to wherever you need to be when normal transportation fails.

A get home bag (GHB) is designed for a specific scenario: you're at work, your car is stuck, and you need to walk 10–15 miles home. It's lighter and more minimal than a full 72-hour kit.

The focus is on what you'd need for a 4–12 hour walk home in your work clothes: water, food, comfortable shoes (or the means to change), basic first aid, and navigation.
