How many people can use one bag?

So, this bag just lives at my house? Can I use it for anything else?

The GO-bag can be used for many day-to-day activities. Bring it with you in your car in case of a major traffic jam or travel change, or take it hiking so you have access to first aid and emergency supplies. Just make sure you re-stock anything you've used then put the GO-bag back in its place.

How much would it cost me to make this myself?

You will find a list of the supplies we include on our website. Feel free to use our list and source your own supplies and bag.

Going through the Readiness Playbook, making a plan, photocopying documents, and packing personal items should take less than two hours, and it is time well spent.
