Amateur Radio Go Kit
A typical "go" kit should sustain a day of continuous operation and be easily supplemented for overnight or weekend trips. The bare
essentials are a 2-meter or dual-band radio, some sort of "gain" antenna, auxiliary power source, writing materials, comfort and
safety items.
Don't be overwhelmed. Look at the simple one on the left side of page 10 in this presentation:

I put this kit together to get ready for a local emergency exercise.
Other than the white cardboard boxes and foam that I recycled out of the trash and the $4 bag from the thrift store, the contents are items that I already had. I need to organize them into go kits, but I also have basic items for more external power and better antenna placement.
