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.

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
