In this video I’m upgrading my 2026 “get home” plan with two pieces of gear that change the whole equation when you’re trying to cover distance fast: the L-2 Max off-road scooter and the Eberlestock Romad backpack. I’m always thinking in layers—what happens if the roads are locked up, fuel is scarce, or you’ve got to move around congestion without drawing a ton of attention. A solid mobility option plus a purpose-built pack gives you real capability when your normal commute turns into a problem. I also talk through carry options like the Eberlestock Bando Bag XL for everyday use and how ballistic panels can fit into your setup depending on your risk profile. This isn’t about fantasy scenarios—it’s about building a practical system that works when you’re stressed, tired, and you’ve got to make decisions fast. If you’re serious about preparedness, your get home plan should be more than “I’ll just walk”—it should be gear-tested, realistic, and adaptable for whatever comes next.
