That's awesome! I just have the bag for me to get home from work, but I haven't built my wife or kids bags yet. I like the mini prybar idea.Don't have time to snap pics, but keep a couple kits in the back of my car - the Car kit is for getting the vehicle operable again, and/or using the vehicle as a temporary shelter, and the Get Home Bags are for if the vehicle is inoperable and the family needs to hoof it. The Get Home Bag portion is:
hiking boots (not stored in the bag, but kept next to it)
2x pair of socks
underwear
jeans
tee shirt
sweatshirt
jacket
beanie
gloves
mylar emergency blanket
fixed-blade knife
multitool
mini prybar
mini bolt cutter
lifestraw
water bottle
liquid IV packets
granola bars & power bars
tarp
zip-ties
lighter
hand warmers
flashlight
power bank & cables
wet wipes
toilet paper
paper towel
hand sanitizer
medical kit
Have bags for the wife, kid, and dog as well, all of which they can carry themselves. Backpack for the wife is similar setup to mine, minus the heavier tools. Backpack for the kid is just clothes, food, and hygiene items. "Backpack" for the dog is a heavy-duty harness with pockets on it. It contains food, water, backup leash, and collapsible food / water containers.
