Personal go-bags: what to know
A go-bag is the kit you take when you are told to leave. It has to be light enough to carry, which is why ours hold a first supply of water and the means to treat more instead of pretending to carry three days' worth.
Core covers the federal list. Plus adds full daily calories, a water filter and a power bank. Pro adds a sleep system, a purifier, solar and bleed control.
Common questions
What is the difference between a go-bag and a bug-out bag?
They are the same idea. Canadian emergency agencies say go-bag or grab-and-go bag; bug-out bag is the American term. All mean a packed bag that lets you leave home quickly and look after yourself for about 72 hours.
How heavy should a go-bag be?
There is no official limit. As a working rule we suggest 7 to 10 kg for an adult, and no more than about 15% of the body weight of the person carrying it. Our bags range from about 5.5 kg to 11 kg, and each product page states the weight.
What should be in a 72-hour emergency kit in Canada?
The Government of Canada's basic list is water, food that won't spoil, a manual can opener, a wind-up or battery flashlight and radio, a first aid kit, extra keys, cash, a copy of your emergency plan, and special items such as prescription medication, infant formula and pet supplies.
