Wednesday Factoid: Go-Bag

Today's Wednesday Factoid is: What would you put in your emergency "go-bag"?

I'm not sure of the context of a go-bag. I guess this is something you prepare if you think you're going to have to leave your home on short notice either due to, like, having a baby or something or if a catastrophe happens. And I'm not sure how I'm accomplishing this escape--like, can I bring enough stuff that it would comfortably fit in a car, or do I have to carry it in my backpack? What's the deal here?

I'm going to guess it's supposed to be somewhere between a backpack and a small suitcase. How about that?

I would bring:

• Laptop and charger
• Phone and charger
• Video camera and charger
• MP3 player, earbuds, and charger
• Clipboard, paper, notebook, and pencil case
• Underwear, socks, shoes, PJs, jeans, shirts, and sweaters for 2 days
• Hair ties, hairbrush
• Toothbrush/toothpaste/dental floss
• Deodorant
• Contact lenses, case, storage solution, extra contacts, eyedrops, glasses
• Soap, shampoo, conditioner
• Menstrual supplies
• Razor, tweezers, scissors, bandages, painkillers, ointments, sunblock, cotton swabs
• Tissues and wet wipes
• A deck of cards
• My journal and a pen 
• Keys/wallet/ID, money, and insurance info
• A bottle of water
• A box of granola bars
• Instant coffee, creamer, sweetener 
• If there's room, a pillow
