Emergency Preparedness Podcast Episode

I've been listening to Gimlet's How To Save A Planet podcast and their latest episode, Unnatural Distaster, was very interesting.

At first, I thought it was going to deliver prepper-type information, but it did much more. On the personal side, they talked about having a go-bag, and the items listed were:

  • a spare outfit
  • a spare pair of glasses
  • toiletries
  • your passport as a backup ID or in case you need to flee the country
  • about $1000 in cash
  • food (between 3 and 10 days' worth)
  • 3 x 500mL bottles of water + a water filter and iodine drops
  • a camp pot, a camp cup, a camp stove with propane
  • a small phone solar charger

And because of COVID:

  • a tent
  • a sleeping bag

So basically, think of going on a week-long hiking trip in the forest.
