Even if they're going innawoods, you don't teleport there. Just bring cash instead of water, it's a lot lighter, buy some from a convenience store on your way out. If society collapses to the point money has no value compared to water, you've got a lot more problems than an ill-equipped bugout bag.
In fact, later in the article they even say to bring cash. Are you preparing to storm out of the house in a romance movie "Ah! I'm going to my sister's! Harrumph!" or are you preparing for nuclear winter?
And... a copy of your house deed? Just put that shit in a safe deposit box in a major bank far away from you. Again, if that winds up being a problem to retrieve due to societal collapse, but is immediately needed... Then there's bigger problems than your bugout bag.
An apocalypse bugout bag should contain water filtration, iodine tablets, a metal sleeping bag, and lots of firepower. The rest falls into place from there. A runaway bag should contain money... And you're pretty much good, that's about it.
Beyond this, you're better off not making a bag at all, just go for actual fortification of your existing life. Northern USA and central Canada, you're more likely to be facing being snowed-in for several days without power, than needing to flee anything in any immediate sense. Build for your local disasters.
And... a copy of your house deed? Just put that shit in a safe deposit box in a major bank far away from you.
I don't where the writers of NPR live, but usually the county courthouse keeps a record of all deeds. You should keep a copy of the deed for your own records, but any serious conveyance of real estate is going to involve a title company doing some research on the chain of title. It's not like a cartoon where someone magically owns the property when they get ahold of the deed.
Ah, holy shit, that just shows I don't have gold on hand.
Yeah, that's almost two million right there. My bad.
Anyway, NPR listeners, regardless of how much gold you have...carry that shit around with you in your "go bag," is my point. It's crucial to your survival. Yeah...yours.
It's working on idiot normies like my sister who is refusing to visit our parents until things "cool down" because the CBC publishes multiple articles each day scare mongering about people being wrongfully detained at the border.
I've read a couple of the articles she sends and they're all purposefully vague and clearly leave out crucial details that explain exactly why that person was detained.
I saw about 10 mins of MSNBC a couple weeks ago. Just at a totally random time because it was on where I happened to be. They were going on about how dangerous it was and everyone needed to be careful. No one is safe from deportation, because they are going to photoshop tattoos on you and send you to a camp in El Salvador. That's what their sheep are trained to believe.
I can already hear the self congratulatory ego fueled piece 4 years from now. “How I instructed undocumented migrants to survive Trumps reign of terror, and they had no clue”
Make sure your EMERGENCY GO BAG includes such vital essentials as: your anti anxiety pills, tampons, enough PrEP to supply a bath-house, and fill the rest with vegan snacks
Jesus, what's bad is that since this is NPR, the only way I knew it wasn't a direct quote is because you added "to supply a bath-house". They pride themselves on the appearance of intelligence, so they'd give a specific number.
I always find amusing to see what they forget to include in lists like this the leftists make. Obviously guns are left out, No water filters, occasionally only BIC lighters.
This isn't a "shit hit the fan bug out" bag.
This is a "awful forestry practices burnt half the city down. Make it easier on yourself during the first couple days of chaos" bag.
The gallon of water isn't so you can go into the wilderness for months, it's so you don't get heat stroke sitting in an evacuation traffic jam.
Earthquakes, floods, fires. That kind of shit. Not the boogaloo. The context is obvious. For an NPR listener, a situation where The State isn't there to take care of them within a day or two is unthinkable anyway.
I've thought long and hard about that situation and have determined that I ain't going anywhere. My resources are in my home and that's where I'll make my stand. If big brother wants me, he's going to have to come and get me
To all of you brain-dead urban socialists, this is NPR low-key warning you that your leftist shithole cities are going to erupt in violence and arson and if you know any better you neeed to leave, now.
These bugman parasites won't even make it out of the city limits before being quite literally eaten alive by the third world hordes they voted to import.
If they're expecting a situation where they're going to need bug out bags NPR should be sitting them down and explaining that they need to buy (and learn how to use) a few guns.

This is the stupidest go bag ever
These faggots think you’re going to survive a go bag scenario with a multitool, printed information in a ziplock, and some band aids

Besides cops don't kick out looters now. You think they are going to start doing it post collapse
These people can't walk the 20 miles in a day that will be necessary when the whole city is in full panic and it's complete gridlock everywhere.
when you say metal sleeping bag do you mean Mylar coated?
I say encourage this. They'll be walking lootboxes.
"Carry 40 Lbs. of gold on you, this is crucial."
"Also, tons of ammo, but no guns. Guns are icky."
Anyone with access to 40lbs of physical gold probably already has an island underground bunker and a 400 foot yacht to wait out the SHTF situation.
Ah, holy shit, that just shows I don't have gold on hand.
Yeah, that's almost two million right there. My bad.
Anyway, NPR listeners, regardless of how much gold you have...carry that shit around with you in your "go bag," is my point. It's crucial to your survival. Yeah...yours.
Yeah, gold is around $3,000 an ounce.
Wolfram Alpha calculates 40 lbs of gold to 1.936 million dollars
It'll be like running over crack dealers in GTA san andreas lololololololol
The problem is that they would potentially be coming back to the groups that killed everyone else off.
Reminds me of that spergy commie larper who ND'd his shitty Century AK when making a vid
Where do they think they're going, and why do they think the deed to your house is going to matter in such a situation?
Nobody cares about a deed in the apocalypse.
I'm thinking this is made to get people to think being "falsely accused" of being an illegal immigrant is remotely likely.
It's working on idiot normies like my sister who is refusing to visit our parents until things "cool down" because the CBC publishes multiple articles each day scare mongering about people being wrongfully detained at the border.

I think it's interesting they made sure to ask a woman academic for answers.
Think about it more like this:
What would an illegal immigrant who will be assisted by an NGO, that NPR is running cover for, need?
I can already hear the self congratulatory ego fueled piece 4 years from now. “How I instructed undocumented migrants to survive Trumps reign of terror, and they had no clue”
What about my HRT pills, thigh-high socks, comfort plushy and favorite dildo? Reported for transphobia.
Jesus, what's bad is that since this is NPR, the only way I knew it wasn't a direct quote is because you added "to supply a bath-house". They pride themselves on the appearance of intelligence, so they'd give a specific number.
I always find amusing to see what they forget to include in lists like this the leftists make. Obviously guns are left out, No water filters, occasionally only BIC lighters.
I'm surprised there are no purple dildos
Why would they take that out of their ass and put it in a bag?
Go bags are useless unless you know what to do when you get there.
Times like these make me glad I went through Boy Scouts before they went full cuck.
Psychopaths and Eagle Scouts will be the only civilians left. Exempting hill people
And where the 'there' you are going to is.
"I've got my go bag ready!"
"Where are you going?"
"... ... FUCK!"
This isn't a "shit hit the fan bug out" bag. This is a "awful forestry practices burnt half the city down. Make it easier on yourself during the first couple days of chaos" bag.
The gallon of water isn't so you can go into the wilderness for months, it's so you don't get heat stroke sitting in an evacuation traffic jam.

You can tell everything you need to know about the article by the fact that the image they choose is a tranny colored generic corporate art style.
Almost all the way to full Corporate Memphis.
Is this what other people call a bug out bag?
"emergency go bag" sounds like something someone with severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome would have.
I give them about a week. No water filtration or sterilisation. Three weeks tops for the 1% when they realise avocado toast isn't so easy.
These shits will see the best before on a can of spam and say "nope, not eating that".
Where the heck do they think they will "go"?
Where they think they will go will shoot them out of hand when they show up as a drain of resources.
And happily, and with gusto.
Canada
To all of you brain-dead urban socialists, this is NPR low-key warning you that your leftist shithole cities are going to erupt in violence and arson and if you know any better you neeed to leave, now.
Padme: This means they're leaving right?
Padme: :|
All this does is make the first guy with a gun who sees them richer in resources.
They probably should have publicized this message 6 months ago. Seems a little late now.
These bugman parasites won't even make it out of the city limits before being quite literally eaten alive by the third world hordes they voted to import.
If they're expecting a situation where they're going to need bug out bags NPR should be sitting them down and explaining that they need to buy (and learn how to use) a few guns.
Can't wait to see that one.
Prep your Go To Hell Bags, faggots.
