Each car has an emergency bag. It serves as a "stuck in a snowbank for three days" kit, an "I gotta hoof it a bunch of miles to safety" kit, and it provides more mundane day-to-day capabilities for first aid, fixing broken things, charging dead cellphones, and so on. All the Ten Essentials are there, with redundancy in water disinfection, fire, sharps, and illumination. Our cars always have quite a bit of bottled water in them; the emergency bags have hydration bladders that can be filled from the bottles if circumstances warrant.

There's also a duffel in my car with dry clothes, spare outerwear and boots, and an ECWSS setup if I'm stuck overnight someplace. Each car also has a jumpstarter that includes a compressor, an LED work light, and the capability to charge our phones or amateur radio HTs.

If you get the idea that the trunk of my car is pretty full, you're right.

Either emergency bag can serve as the core of the Family Sized bug out/bug in gear. I keep two two wife-portable bins, large water containers, and a dedicated box of ammo in the garage. These can go into either car in a couple of minutes, or stay home if that's where we are going to be.

My laptop bag has the best kit I can make that is low volume, low weight and TSA-friendly. First thing I do when clearing airport security is to buy water and often a meal to take onto the flight. I add a multitool to it when I'm not flying.

When I worked downtown and commuted on the train, I kept dry clothes, water, some food and a few other things in a locked, dedicated desk drawer. The one thing I really wanted to keep in my office but never got done was a bicycle. I did carry a good-sized wad of cash and the locations of two local bike shops; my backup plan if I couldn't find some way to ride home in the train or a car was to get to a bike shop and buy a bike. I'm not sorry to report that I don't have an office downtown any more.
