So I was watching this YouTube video last night

It seems to be a pretty good general idea of how to make myself a Get Home Bag.
I'm new to EDC and I've never really been into prepping, but since about 9 months ago when I got my LTC-A and started carrying every day, I've been thinking about the "what-if's" a lot, and it dawned on me that since I'm at work all day every day, there is a good chance that if something were to happen, whether its SHTF or just a major snowstorm or what have you, I figure it's time I start getting prepared, and to start I want to make myself up a GHB, I case I had to walk home to my family.
I only work about 15 miles away from home, I live one town south of Worcester, and work in the city on the West Boylston line. I figure if something happened and I was on my own, walking home, through the city could be potentially dangerous, since I always have my M&P40 with 2 extra magazines locked up in my car right outside the office, I figure I'm on step ahead of the majority of the sheep who might be out on the streets trying to get home along side me. However I figure a gun is a great start, but I should start putting together something a little more comprehensive.
Anybody got any ideas of a store in Central MA where I might be able to get most of the typical items that would go inside this Get Home Bag? I would like to try to get as much as I can locally, and without breaking the bank! Haha I know that's probably asking a lot. I already have an excellent, large Swiss Army Brand back pack, seems to be really durable with lots of space.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to explain what I'm thinking about doing, I figure a lot of you probably have experience in this department, and can give me some really great advice, whenever I need help, or suggestions, the best ones I get always come from NES
Thanks again!
