We had a tornado/cyclone warning last week and I thought maybe I should make a Go Bag for suburban evacuation. I don't want to overload or under load it. Looking online it seems most bags are deep woods survival. What would you put in it?

Knife, fire starter, rope, 1st aid kit, tinned food ( but not too much cus it might get heavier the more you have), blanket, and the general necessities
Army backpacks may be ideal. Can never be too over-prepared:
Blanket
Towel
First Aid kit
Spare essential medications
Non-prescription medications: Tylenol, Ibuprophen, non-drowsy allergy pills, multi-symptom eye drops, ear drops
Tweezers and nail clippers
Scissors
Swiss Army knife
Canned goods, dried beans, instant coffee, sugar, and other non-perishables.
Lighter
Flares and a flare gun
Rope
Hygiene products: Dental floss and toothbrush, toothpaste
Sleeping bag and a tent.
Bug spray
Sunblock
Sunglasses
Hat
Sarong or something to provide shade that's waterproof
Extra underwear
Blanket, pillow, socks, the stuffed animal I can't sleep without, canned food+can opener, knife, firestarters, nerf gun, underwear, gauze, scissors, wet bag, any medications I might need, and my cat. Cat is number one priority.
A good book. And a deal book like the da Vinci Code for fires and emergency lol paper.
