I've got a get home bag in the trunk of my car, it moves between cars depending on which one I need to drive that day. Its also got some vehicle stuff in it, but basically I've got:

bright orange flagging tape
paracord
2 lighters and 1 container of around 50 matches - with dryer lint for starting a fire
2 smaller knives: gerber gator, sog multi-tool
large ka-bar "zombie" knife - awesome knife by the way!
1qt of oil
1 large package of dehydrated food - supposedly feeds 4
4 bottles of water
2 long burning candles
toothbrush/toothpaste
pair of shoelaces (which now that I think about it is redundant with the paracord)
carmex
bandaids, neosporin
super glue
2 days worth of dog food (about 5 cups) - bag of treats
dog collar/leash - for catching loose dogs around the neighborhood
2 space blankets - thicker versions that don't rip when you pull them out of the package
10 glow sticks
S&W Model 10 with a little over 100rds of ammo
granola bars
hot cocoa, juice flavored drink mix, emergen'c, pixie sticks...
2 rolls toilet paper

I've been meaning to get a change of clothes in there too, especially socks. But after thinking about it, I might want to tailer it more to everyday items that one would need to get by for a couple of days - except for a shelter that is. All of the above stuff is packed into a LAPG bail out bag, should have got the jumbo size one because this normal size is bulging.

Guess I'll get into the bag, inventory it and find a new list of things to get for it to keep it more up to date.
