BUILD YOUR OWN
GO-BAG
Want to feel ready for the unexpected? Just as you keep a first aid kit in your car, a Go-Bag at home ensures you’re prepared when situations change quickly.
5.11 helps you build your kit with tactical backpacks, bags, pouches, and essential accessories. Customize it to your needs by following our step-by-step guide below.
STEP 1
DEFINE YOUR NEEDS
Think about your situation: family size, climate, and the specific risks where you live. This sets the foundation for your go-bag.
A go-bag is for emergencies where you may need to leave your home quickly. It’s generally recommended that each family member has their own go-bag stocked with at least 72 hours of essential supplies, though local guidelines and recommendations may vary.
STEP 2
SELECT YOUR GEAR
From first aid to tools and essentials — choose the gear that covers your most critical needs. 5.11 offers gloves, knives, tools, flashlights, and more that contribute to the reliability and readiness of your go-bag.
STEP 3
CHOOSE YOUR BAG
Keep it simple. Select a bag with enough room for what you really need, comfortable to carry over longer periods of time and with the modularity to organize your kit so you can always find what you need even when light conditions are not ideal, or you are in a hurry.
STEP 4
CUSTOMIZE YOUR KIT
Pouches, attachments and accessories can greatly improve the functionality, versatility and carrying capacity of any bag. Select the pouches you need to carry, organize and protect your gear while on the move. And don’t forget a water source, so you can stay hydrated on the go.
WHILE THE MOST FAMOUS GO-BAG IS THE EMERGENCY GO-BAG, PACKED AND READY TO GRAB IF YOU NEED TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE OR CAR IN A HURRY, THE CONCEPT OF A BAG PACKED AND READY FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED APPLIES TO MANY DIFFERENT FIELDS AND ENVIRONMENTS.
WHETHER ITS A PREPREPARED BAG FOR YOUR JOB WHERE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR DAILY NECESSITIES READY TO GO AT A MOMENTS NOTICE OR A WELL PACKED BAG FULL OF ESSENTIALS FOR A TRIP INTO THE WILD, A GO-BAG IS PERSONAL, MISSION-SPECIFIC AND ALWAYS READY.
