The Get Home Bag Book: A Guide to Putting Together and Packing Your Get Home Bag

On January 28, 2025, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the hands on the Doomsday Clock up to 89 seconds to midnight - the closest to a global catastrophe it has ever been. Maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists since 1947, the Doomsday Clock is a symbol that represents the likelihood of global nuclear war. The large Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) generated by a nuclear weapon detonated at high altitude could fry every transformer and microchip in America and leave hundreds of millions of people stranded with some having to walk days to get home. Would your wife, husband, or children have any chance of making it home if this were to happen? Have you considered putting together Get Home Bags for your family but don't know where to start? 10 years ago, I didn’t either. What I did have was 30 years of experience doing technical research, analysis, and writing. This book was based on research and analysis I did while putting together Get Home Bags for my family. This book will guide you through the process of putting together a lightweight bag to provide your loved one with shelter, water, and food while they make their way home after a cataclysmic natural or man-made disaster when no help is coming. This book contains color photos of every item in my bag, where to obtain each item, each item's size and weight, alternatives where applicable, and color photos showing how to pack the items in a medium-sized backpack. But this book is more than just a list of items and how to pack them in a bag, it contains vital information that could make the difference between your family members getting home and never seeing them again. Did you know that flash blindness from a nuclear explosion is usually only temporary, and that your eyesight recovers surprisingly fast? Did you know there’s a credit card-sized dosimeter that you can carry in your wallet, that has a stripe on it that changes color depending on how much radiation you’ve absorbed? Did you know about anti-radiation tablets that you can put in your family’s bags that will protect them from one of the most dangerous effects of radioactive fallout for 14 days? Did you know these tablets are currently distributed to every family in the USA living within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant? Need a Get Home Bag for a child 100 miles away at college? This book will show you how to turn a 3-day Get Home Bag into a 5-day, or even a 7-day Get Home Bag without adding excessive weight. It will also tell a child away at college when to shelter in place versus when to start walking home, how to select campsites on the way home, and much more. The only question is, can you afford not to have this book?
