I’ve seen a few folks mention go bags/bugout bags lately, as the situation in the US continues to decline. Seems like a good idea to ask y’all what should go in a go bag, and I can make a follow-up post with a list of ideas for folks who want to be prepared to leave if/when the time comes.

Cheaper is probably better, since the most vulnerable of us are likely to have the least resources available to plan for the future.

    One of these is key

      Do not get the mini. They get clogged very easily and the flow rate drops to basically nothing. Get the full size Sawyer Squeeze.

      I was just about to say that. or iodine or a "life straw", etc.
      You can technically survive a long ass time as long as you have enough water.

        Yeah, you can filter about 20kl of water for about $40. At 3.3l a day that will last you roughly ten years. Obviously you'd need to find food before then, but water is really important.
