The Jeep fire thread had several posts regarding keeping your stuff organized if you have to emergency egress for whatever reason.
I've been using a "Grab-N-Go" bag for decades. If you have to make an emergency egress, taking the extra second to grab one thing, my G-N-G bag, is very easy. If I have time to grab other stuff, all the better. But my G-N-G bag is always stowed close at hand.
Everything important to me and not on my person is stowed in my "Grab-N-Go" bag. For several years, I have been using a Grey Ghost Stealth Operator daypack.
Your list will undoubtedly be different then mine...
But, when traveling I always have the following in the G-N-B:
Passport
InReach
Silva Ranger Global compass (works in any magnetic zone)
Old cell phone not on a plan (still good for connecting to 911) in case I can't grab my primary cell phone.
If not flying, the cell phone is connected to a lithium 2000 mAh battery
ITS personal medical kit with additional med supplies
Knife (extra as one is always in my pocket) (if not flying commercial aviation)
Surefire flashlight
Batteries: CR123, AA and AAA in Thrym CellVaults
ChemLight sticks. Don't confuse a "Glow Stick" for a ChemLight. Not the same. I carry two Cyalume SOS Signal markers. Nearly all SAR and most former MIL pilots will recognize this signal marker if spotted.
Trader Joes Energy bars
24oz Hydro Flask/water
Pen/Field Notes booklet
And a few other things particular to my lifestyle.
A Grab-N-Go bag should not be confused with a "Go Bag" or Evacuation Bag. The latter are generally much bigger and contain items to sustain life for 72 hours or longer.
A Grab-N-Go bag simply contains those daily items I need and don't want to carry on my person or backup items since I subscribe to the notion 2 is 1 and 1 is None.
