The Bag
Obviously, before we start talking about the gear and supplies, you will need a bag to put it in. There are many great options that you can choose from. Just find the size and weight that you prefer.
Food and Water
This goes without saying, but food and water are essential to live. Bottles of water are easy to come by, so make sure that you always have at least 2 bottles with you at all times.
Below are some items that you may want to think about when it comes to being able to hydrate and get the essential supplements in your body to survive.

No matter where you are, there is a possibility of you or someone being hurt at any given time. I would suggest everyone get some basic first-aid, cpr, or stop the bleed training.

Tourniquets
A tourniquet is used to apply pressure to a limb or extremity in order to limit the flow of blood. It may be used in emergencies, in surgery, or in post-operative rehabilitation. A simple tourniquet can be made from a stick and a rope (or leather belt). But, the use of makeshift tourniquets has been reduced over time due to their ineffectiveness compared to a commercial and professional tourniquet.
Ham Radio
Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is the use of radio frequency spectrum for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation, self-training, private recreation, radiosport, contesting, and emergency communication.
Conclusion
No matter where you live, there is always the possibility that you will need supplies in a moment’s notice. Whether it’s for you or someone else, the best thing we can all do is be prepared for whatever comes our way.
