Building an emergency kit for the car

I never have a specific list for every pack because emergency situations where one must abandon their vehicle and pack out to safety are pretty environmentally specific to both the seasons and needs of the evacuee. I live in the Pacific Northwest where we don't have a ton of heat but we do have a ton of water. We also have raised aging roadways and a shit ton of under built bridges so it's pretty well very likely that roads will be impassible and bridges will be down in the case of a major earthquake. Therefore to get home in the very likely event an earthquake strikes while I am at work 35 miles from home it will very likely be a 2 -5 day mostly urban journey on foot. Keep in mind I am also single - emergency survival and bug outs with kids is a different ball of wax. This kit is designed to get me from away to back to home base.

So for the dryer season here are my major components of my bug out bag.

A change of comfortable clothes, a belt, 3 pairs of woolsocks stored in a zip lock, a hat, and a change of decent broke in shoes because I can nearly be guaranteed to be wearing the most uncomfortable POS pair of shoes I own, cotton socks, and wearing something business casual when the big one hits.

Rain gear that's packable

light gloves
small flashlight or headlamp

Some kind of ultra light tent
a thermal bivvy

something I can light a fire with even if everything is wet

A decent quality fixed blade knife w built in sharpener.

a water bottle with a filter

a jet boil system like the mini mo

a eat n tool

mini bottle of dawn soap.

With just the above I can shelter in place and move around for a long time. However a good thought is to also have the following:

backpackers lantern (assume there will be no power)

bug spray
a backpackers towel
paracord fob
roll of TP

sun screen

5-7 days worth of medications

A good first aid kit meant for hiking

a good current road map (assume cel lines and data will be down)

a head net

small bag of wet wipes
My personal defense kit which includes bear spray and a collapsible baton.
A small amount of money (like $30 - $50) in small bills

Finally a backpack to put all this stuff in and a tub to store everything in - inside the car.

Food - what's good and what's worthless will be another post.
