In this episode of the Survival Punk Podcast, we’re tackling a realistic but often overlooked scenario — what if the world falls apart while you’re at work?
Most people spend 8+ hours a day away from home. If something goes down — power grid failure, civil unrest, major natural disaster — you might be miles from your gear, your family, and your safety plan.

Let’s fix that with a rock-solid Get-Home Plan (GHP) built for the real world.

Preppers love to talk about bugging out, but most of us aren’t at home when SHTF.
You could be:

In an office building

In uniform at a job site

Stuck in a metro area

10–50 miles from home

Surrounded by chaos and people who aren’t prepared

This is where calm planning beats panic. Every minute counts.

A solid GHB is lighter and leaner than a bug-out bag. It should include:

Comfortable shoes (you may have to walk)

Water and purification tabs

Snacks with long shelf life (trail mix, jerky, bars)

Map with multiple routes marked

Flashlight and extra batteries

Multi-tool or small knife

Fire-starting method

Light poncho or rain gear

Cash (small bills)

Basic first-aid items

Optional: change of clothes, hat, gloves

Stash it discreetly in your car, locker, or somewhere you can always access.

Start thinking like a tactical urban survivor:

Study exits: elevators won’t work, so know the stairs

Identify threats: who will panic, who will lead, who to avoid

Spot choke points and hazards: crowded lobbies, stairwells, parking decks

Plan your exit: 3+ routes home, avoid bridges and known high-traffic areas

Establish a communication plan with family in case cell service goes down

This is gray man 101. Blend in, move fast, and stay calm.

When the world flips upside down, the first step is getting back to your home base — your people, your gear, your stronghold.
Listen to Episode 419 and build a get-home strategy that actually works — before you’re stuck watching the world fall apart from your cubicle.
