  1. I have had a #GoBag packed and ready for at least 13 years.

    I know this because today when I checked it I found a pouch of trail mix with a best-by date in 2013. 😳

  2. @John are you likely to be needing the #gobag based on current fire status?

  3. Checked my #GoBag to see what food I had in it.

    I totally forgot I had #freezedried #banana #IceCream in there along with some flameless heater bags for the retort meals - #ButterChickenWithRice & #PorkSausages.

    I am sooo tempted to eat the freeze dried ice cream!

    #BushFires #Victoria - listening to #ABCradioMelbourne. For us? So far, so good.

  8. Last year my new year's resolution was to de-google my life and software. I did so completely and swiftly. Same with billionaire owned and curated junk media and websites. Walled garden websites are not worth my time. If EFF's Privacy Badger shows a tracker, I know they may be compromised. I remember well how to thrive before google and now greatly enjoying those pleasures again. Paper maps can be printed from open sources.

    For this new year, I'll be working on my #GoBag and increasing my #OffGrid #solar capabilities. Opportunities in the USA are becoming very limited, so I will take them while still available.

  9. Worried About Losing Your #Job ? Pack a Digital #GoBag

    It’s now more common for #layoffs to happen through account lockouts. Every #employee needs to download their most important files from work, and update them periodically.

    No matter where you live in Australia, have a #gobag ready for #emergencies.

    Waterproof bag/s for valuables

    a radio (crank or battery powered)
    torch
    spare batteries
    First aid kit
    Candles & matches
    Emergency contact numbers
    Cash, ATM credit cards
    Meds, toiletries & sanitary supplies
    Mobile phone & charger
    Powerbank for charger
    Multitool
    Important documents, valuables & photos (in a waterproof bag)
    Drinking water & water purifier
    Hiking or work boots

    Travel light. #BugOutBag

  12. The posts going around with various "go bag" ideas have the right idea but I'd throw in this - when buying batteries to go with your torch (flashlight) get ones with a long shelf life. Lithium chemistry AAs can have a 20 year shelf life, and CR123s (different chemistry according to the internet) can go 10.

    (on flashlights I'd recommend having at least a pair, one that takes a generally easy to come by cell size like AA, and a good high capacity rechargeable. I am very normal about flashlights)

  13. What to put in your "go bag" for a fire or other emergency evacuation

    Story by Matthew Rodriguez, January 7, 2025

    What is a go bag?

    "An emergency supply kit or go bag is typically a backpack filled with the essentials and personal documents. Cal Fire recommends everyone have their kit ready before a wildfire or disaster to ensure a quick evacuation and contain everything someone would need for an extended stay away from their home.

    Go bags should contain the following:

    - A 3-day supply of non-perishable food & 3 gallons of water per person
    - A map with at least 2 evacuation routes
    - Necessary prescriptions or medications
    - A change of clothes & extra eyeglasses/contact lenses
    - Extra car keys, credit cards, cash, or traveler's checks
    - A first aid kit & sanitation supplies
    - A flashlight & battery-powered radio with extra batteries

    Also, ensure the pack contains any copies of important documents, including birth certificates, passports, IDs, etc."

  15. At Walmart pondering what I might need for a Go Bag. Not buying all the stuff one could need for it today, but am eyeing the stuff and thinking.

  16. Ainda sobre o lance da mochila de desastres: embora eu ainda não tenha atualizado o plano, a pós em gestão de crises tem que servir pra alguma coisa, e aproveitei a promoção do AliExpress do finde passado pra pedir alguns itens que sei que vão ter lugar nas mochilas minha e da família.

    Eles já começaram a chegar, e neste momento estou carregando 2 lanternas (daquelas com correia, pra usar na cabeça) e 2 carregadores USB de 10.000mAh (nominais) com 3 tipos de conectores incorporados.

  17. Eu mandei no mês passado pra galera das enchentes do RS as coisas da minha mochila de desastres, agora já comecei a planejar a nova versão dela

    Does anyone have a premade level3 #ifak they like? Having a hard time knowing who is a reputable dealer. Seeing lots of kits knock off CAT7s out there.

    "We're not burning this year!"
    *while looking out the window at scorched gravel from when the #BCwildfire burnt the duff layer down to bedrock*
    I guess there's a benefit of no fuel left to burn 🤷 😒

  23. Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a climate tipping point or feedback loop.
    Is THIS the Climate Tipping Point of No Return?
  24. Climate Change is increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters all around the world. And in the United States, more and more people seem to be moving to the places that are projected to be most impacted by climate change, from hazards s…
