Grab-and-go bag: 24+ hours of essentials if you need to leave quickly
Be prepared for both scenarios: PreparedBC.ca/EmergencyKit

Cruise prep 2: In the video I mention these. They're called Millennium Bars. I discovered them on a YouTube video years ago and bought a few when I was in the states. I liked them. So now they are part of the pack.
I got these ones from @TotalPrepare . I'm not an affiliate, but I'm happy to support them.
When we pack a Get Home Bag, we obviously need to pack at least some food. We want things that can be consumed on the move as well as things you can eat when you make camp. Easy things like protein bars, nuts/seeds, jerky....that you don't need to prepare but that will keep you going. These are good. They're pretty loaded with sugar and fat but they WILL help.
