The stuff in the bag is mostly stuff provided by the CERT group I belong to. They provided a nice back pack, but it was too small for my taste as I have a tendency to over-pack. I plan to add some stuff of my own as time goes on.
For now, here's what I have in the bag:
- 2 Reflective Vests (1 green and 1 yellow)
- 1 Roll Yellow Caution Tape
- 1 Hard Hat
- 1 Roll Duct Tape (the handyman's secret weapon)
- 1 Pair Gloves
- 1 Pair Safety Goggles
- 1 Gas Main Shutoff Tool
- 1 Pry Bar
- 1 Pair Knee Pads
- 50 feet 1/4-inch Nylon Rope
- 1 Green Glow Stick
- 1 Particulate Mask
- 3 125ml Pouches of Survival Water
- 1 37X37X37 Bandage (good for slings)
- 3 "Ace" style bandages
- 84X52 inch metallic survival blanket
- 1 4 oz. Bottle Hydrogen Peroxide
- 1 "Blood Stop" Trauma Dressing
- 4 4X4's
- 1/4 oz. Pouch of SPF 30 Sun Block
- 1 Pr. "EMS" Scissors
- 1 Roll 1/2" Medical Tape
- 11.75 inch Trauma Dressing
- 1 Flashlight
- 1 Multi-tool
- 1 non Load-Bearing Carabiner
- 1 Backpack
- 1 CERT Operating Guide by J.L. Darling Corporation
www.riteintherain.com - 2004 DOT HAZMAT Emergency Response Guide
- 1 Whistle
- 1 Yellow Lumber Crayon
This is certainly not the end-all be-all list of what one could carry. It's just what I've gathered or have been given so far. I'm still considering what else I might need. Our CERT trailer is very well stocked with supplies which frees me to need much less in my personal bag.
With the larger rucksack I have room for extra clothes, food, water, etc. if I need to have them. I also have lots of nice attachments to hang things on, like my amateur radio HT. I think this bag will work better if I actually have to stay somewhere for a while; as in in a search and rescue scenario. If needed, I can also grab just a few things and put them in the other backpack if that is more appropriate.
