Amateur Radio Emergency Prepardness Go Box

If you were to google the above line, you would come up with page after page of descriptions of a Amateur Radio Emergency Prepardness Go Box.

Some may feel that the go-box should contain a whole lot more than what I have in mine.

I do have various other companion kits that complement my go-box, and I only wanted my go-box to contain the items that I felt I might possibly need or use on a daily bases, as I have this go-box with me everywhere I go, and that is everyday when I leave home.

Within this compact go-box shown here and the contents displayed, are some of what I feel I cannot do without.

Remember that the contents will vary some, although I have not changed much lately, and after using it for over a year, I feel that I have got it right for the most part.

The contents are

Kenwood D72 2m/70cm HT with data capablity, and includes aprs and gps.
Yaesu VX-8R 2m/70cm-6meter/220mhz HT with aprs and gps.
Wouxun KG-UV3D 2m/220mhz HT.
HT handmikes that interchange between radios
Kestrel 3500 handheld weather station.
Acer netbook running Windows 7 Pro, and mainly used with Kenwood D72 for operating APRSIS, although has other ham radio software loaded, including Satscape.
Palm Tungsten running Pocket Sat +
Spare batteries for all HT's.
Selection of adapter cables for any situation that they are required for.
Large selection of HT antennas.
Selection of antenna adapters.
Various other adapters cables for the computer and HT's not detailed here, but stored in the black pouches on the left, in the photo.
Various power cables with different ends including powerpoles for connecting the HT's to my DC Power box for charging purposes.
Leatherman multitool and ultra smal screwdriver with various bits
QuiqLite LED flashlight, selectable between white and red light output, and also functions as a flashing red/white strobelight. The Quiqlite attaches to my chestpack, and is highly recommended.

Remember, what you see here, is what I feel I need with me on a daily bases, and I use the various components out of my go-box everyday.

Your needs may differ, but its important that all hams have their own emergency prepardness go-box, and keep it with them.

My latest go box.....
