    Some Ukrainians just do “emergency backpack”. Cause if something happens, you need to be able to dash out and have a set of tools you know how to use with you.

      Yep, commonly referred to as a Bug Out Bag or Go Bag in the US, its a good idea to have one in case of any kind of potential disaster or emergency, not just a zombie apocalypse or literal Russian invasion.

      General rule of thumb is a minimum 3 day supply of food, first aid kit, thermal blanket, multi tools or small toolkits, paracord/twine, spare socks/undies, tampons for the ladies, lighter/firestarter kit, compass, map(s)… that kind of stuff.
