John likes to have a small bag packed in case he needs to evacuate immediately. Deciding what bag to use and what should go in the bag is a whole art form. There was a larger discussion about this in Episode 133.

In 2016, John did an event at the Filson store with the premise "Keeping a small bag packed". He was sponsored by Filson with clothes, but did not realize until the event itself that he was just giving a sales pitch which is normally not what he wanted, because the stuff he was showing would have been much too expensive if he had to pay for it and it was hard for him to recommend it to his audience in the way he presented it (RW59).
