It's not just crazy scenarios. You need a go bag in case of fire. You need all your passports, birth certificates, important medications and anything else you'll need on hand so you can grab it and go. Hence "go bag." Plenty of people experience house fires, and a whole neighborhood in VA was evacuated recently because of a gas leak and house explosion. Shit happens.

If you have a house fire, evacuate the building. Do not get your go bag. I am surprised I need to say this.

Reality is you should figure out ways to get from point a to point b when there is a gas shortage. Getting kids to where they need to go, getting food etc, —figure that out now.

People in the west often live in wild fire risk areas. Go bags near the door and not letting your pets roam all over the neighborhood or your property is important.

Biggest “preps” you should worry about are financial and financial physical health. Become as financially independent and wealthy as possible. Become fit and healthy if you aren’t already. Societal collapse isn’t going to happen and if it does you’re better off becoming a refugee to another part of the world than staying put and fighting over scraps. Your best survival plan in a major catastrophe is to flee and simply having a “go bag” won’t help if you have nowhere to go. To have somewhere to go requires financial resources. Gun won’t be useful if you have to flee the country since you can’t bring a firearm abroad.

OK. If you live in the DC area, where wild fire risks are minimal, do not go looking through your house for your "go bag" should you be awakened to a random house fire in your home. If you are evacuated, please take time to collect said "go bag."
