Good thing I did this. If you've lost or put on weight it's a good time to update the clothing in your bag. Mine didn't fit ... and don't ask why!!!
I also changed out batteries and put in fresh protein bars.
Any other ideas?

Thanks for the info NT.
I have most of this but you gave me some new ideas. I was thinking if I needed to bug out on foot so didn't have air compressor for vehicle .... need sewing kit, flares, fix a flat, socket set, basic tool set (I do have duct tape and zip ties, no cot (hammock). I also have magnesium shavings for starting fire, wound seal, pain meds, reflux meds, sunblock for skin and lips, and ......... TP!
My vehicle has a 500+ range so I figured would drive until ran out of gas. I dont like gas cans inside but I guess I could strap on roof. I was thinking of getting storage box for roof but I don't think I could put on myself. Don't want it on there for just every day driving.
