Here ya go, folks. This is a personal suggestion from me, and even if you don't normally do ReaderQuests, I would suggest you do this one. It's important.

Quest ID: JDM-0003-C-EA

[Tier 2 Construction Quest]

Assignment: Build the Go-Bag

Most people assume they’ll have time. That’s a fool’s thought.

Your Task

Assemble a small bag you can grab and leave with at a moment’s notice. It won’t be for camping or show. You don’t even have to tell anyone it exists. This is purely for you.

Include what you would actually need for 72 hours away from your normal space.

Examples
Water
Basic canned food
A change of clothes
Flashlight
Phone charger
Important documents
Cash
Medication

Keep it light and as real as it gets.

Once assembled, place it in a convenient location that isn’t seen by others.

Rules
Do not overpack.
If you wouldn’t carry it, it doesn’t go in the bag.

Completion Condition

One functional go-bag assembled and placed.

Timeframe: One week

Reward: 15xp

Hope for the best, always. But also, plan for the worst.

I do a lot of those quests (even if I’m already at the point where I’ve incorporated many of the lessons they impart into my life), and I’m happy to announce that this one has been finished a long time ago. The main difficulty is remembering to restock it when something’s been in there too long, especially the meds I have where the expiry date actually matters. Making a go-bag is one thing, maintaining it is another!

I have the same issue. We had a major weather incident in my city a few years ago. Snow. Lots of it, and in a city that NEVER sees snow. It blocked major highways, causing a huge loss of deliverables and power went out for millions of people. I spent everyday out scrounging for food caveman style, as well as items to keep my family warm. No power and very cold is not a good combo. Since then, I always have a go-bag ready, and I have extra perishables and water squirreled away just in case things occur again.
