Currently, my "Emergency Bags" are pretty much just things I carry around all day that I put extra supplies in, as well as a "Get Home Bag" in our cars.
My Purse is a
Maxpedition Versipack--more of a tiny tactical bag, rather than purse. Inside I have crammed:
* Carving knife, utility knife and tiny pocket knife
*
Tiny Aquamira Fronteir Water Filter
* Small first aid kit and a giant bandage (aka cloth menstrual pad),
* Scissors, knitting needles that I use as hair sticks, hairband, grey thread, safety pins, a few spare buttons, some small sewing needles
*
can opener,
* Cards, dice, whistle, pencil, notepad, tiny Bible
* Matches, magnifying glass, mirror,
fire starter
* Eyeglass repair kit (tiny screwdiver with various bits and comes in handy a lot), tiny saw, small tape measure
* My grandfather's old bandanna, dental floss, tiny compass
*
hand-crank flashlight, and another tiny LED flashlight
* Emergency blanket, tissues, plastic bag to collect seeds or other random things in.
* Coconut oil (great for lotion, cleaning teeth, wound care, or cooking oil--we end up using it a lot!), tiny bottle of soap, hand sanitizer, Prayer oil (scented olive oil, which I once resorted to using as cooking oil because we had none while camping. Those were some odd-tasting pancakes!),
two Tiny bamboo sporks
* Emergency Contact Phone Numbers
* More things that I'm probably forgetting...
