You’re halfway across the city when the power grid goes down. Streets jam. Transit stops. Your phone’s dead, and there’s no Uber, no train, no help coming. How long would it take you to get home — and what would you need to survive the trip?
Today, we’re talking about building an Urban Get‑Home‑Bag — your lifeline when city life stops working.
Imagine your power goes out tonight; no lights, no phone charger, no warning.
Could you navigate your home in the dark, cook a meal without electricity, or contact your family if the grid stayed down for days?
In this episode, we’re going into simple, no‑cost and low‑cost prepping steps that build real resilience, things you can do right now with what you already have.
From making a family code word to crafting DIY fire starters, you’ll learn how to get prepared without spending big, just planning smart.
