GO BAG


GO BAG

You should have a bag already packed
with what you’ll need if the worst should happen.

Keep it in your car. Never leave without it.
It is your only chance to make it through.

Clothing for all conditions: think layers.
Think hot, cold, camouflage, and funerals.

First aid, medications, comforting books,
weapons, a flashlight, and means of escape,

and food, food enough, for how many days?
I cannot answer that. The rest of your life.

Imagine that much food fitting in one bag.
You could not carry that bag very far.

When the bag is empty, fold it up.
Discard it safely where no one can find.

Undress. Disarm. Stay where you are right now.
The worst has already happened
