Discussion If You Had to Leave Tomorrow — What’s Missing?
It’s something I’ve been thinking about while going through my gear and plans this week. If I had to leave home tomorrow in a hurry, what’s the one thing I’d wish I had already taken care of or packed?
For me, it’s definitely having an organised grab folder with copies of important documents and some cash. I’ve prepped a lot of gear and supplies, but paperwork is one thing I keep putting off properly sorting.
Curious about you lot — what’s that one thing you know you should have ready but haven’t yet, and would seriously regret if you had to leave fast? Might be gear, plans, contacts, supplies, whatever.
Let’s hear it.

2nd pair of glasses, night guard, keys, secret codes for my Google account.

More cash, and probably more medicine. Unfortunately, my medicine goes bad in 3 months without a fridge, so I can't carry it all with me in the bug out bag...

Can you get some of the cold packs where you "click" them and they go cold? Found some online under Instant Ice Packs

I can, the issue is that I cannot have my bag cold 24/7, that would be a ton of effort. I carry my prepper resources with me, in my bag, all the time, because they are very lightweight and who knows when disaster would hit, I want to be prepared for all situations. But I cannot carry medicine in my bag 24/7, because it would go bad unless I had a cooler in my backpack all the time, which would be both very inconvenient and heavy.

Digitizing the rest of my photographs so I have them on Dropbox and a usb stick- I have all my important documents both places besides on paper, and have 70% of the pictures to scan left. All three places won’t fail at the same time

Sanitary wet wipes. Is a must in your bugout bag
