I don't have an emergency backpack. I'm not a big 'planner' but I'd like to get better; I tend to spend most of my time thinking 2 weeks out at most.

Prepping in this way though increasingly seems reasonable to me.

Possible good additions to the list:

• self-defense "tools"
• actual tools: rope, duct tape, multitool
• emergency comms, e.g. satellite phone, walkie talkies
• flashlight
