Go bag shopping list: one adult
Everything for one adult's go bag, with a total. Skip what you already own.
About these links: they are plain links to ordinary retailer pages. We may earn from some links in future; we don't now. If that changes, links will be marked * and this note will say "Ad". We haven't tested these products and we don't rank them. Prices are the ones we read on the date shown and will change. How we make money
This is a shopping list, not a kit we sell. Prices are the ones we read on 1 Nov 2026 (3 Nov 2026 for the St John Ambulance first aid kit) and will change; the total leaves out things you probably already own. Tick what you have (saved on this device only).
