Listen "EP 19 Basic Preparedness: The Go Bag"
Episode Synopsis
In episode 19 of the Verus Initiative podcast, we begin a new series focused on preparedness and capability-building. This episode dives into the concept of the 'go bag' or 'grab bag,' a survival kit designed to sustain someone for up to three days in a worst-case scenario. We share detailed insights into the items that constitute a practical and effective go bag, emphasizing the importance of shelter, water procurement, fire-starting tools, medical supplies, and other miscellaneous essentials. We also discuss the necessity of using and training with the materials in the go bag, as well as adapting the contents based on seasonal changes. Listeners are encouraged to tailor their go bags to their personal needs, regional specifics, and individual expertise while continually refining their kits over time.
