Get Home Bag (GHB)

While on the road or in the field one should keep a "Get Home Bag" (GHB) in the vehicle or close nearby with the necessary supplies to make it back home to relative safety. The GHB is different from the "Bug Out Bag" (BOB) in that the BOB has more gear for travel from home to a designated "Bug Out Location" (BOL) where it is possible to sit out most any major event (be it natural or man made disaster). In my truck I keep several items such as the usual items such as a couple days of water, food, a change of clothes, gloves, rope, coat, boots, glow sticks, flashlight, a couple handguns, a carbine and some ammo.

I can't count on being in or near the vehicle all the time so I carry a Polish P-64 in a Nemesis pocket holster in my left front pocket and a Glock 19 in a MTAC holster with two extra magazines in an ankle holster.

The GHB is a Maxpedition Jumbo Versamax (right handed) that is slung across the shoulders resting on the right hip.

If I have to abandon my homestead then I will set out carrying my both my "Get Home Bag" GHB and take some additional gear set aside in my "Bug Out Bag" (BOB).

I'd be too nervous to keep a passport in my vehicle in case your GHB is stolen.

I suppose if your trying to get home from Afghanistan, this is a good package to have

That's more like a Get In Bag or a Get Out Bag.

I like it. ;D

Would love to see some other examples of GHBs posted here. Have to agree that bag is a little overkill unless you are trying to get home from the Middle East.

I keep a GOB in my truck, sans firearms. One thing often overlooked is having a good pair of walking or hiking shoes in the vehicle as well.

Or escape from South L.A. during the next race riot. During the last one after the bad cops got off for the beating and torture of rodney King, the Korean shop owners survived unscathed while White truck driver Reginald Denny not so good (still brain-damaged I think). No such thing as over-prepared. ;)

So come on guys, lets see some GHB pics!

Spare socks as well are important.

the amount of gun freedom you have tells me you don't live in California or Illinois.
