Show Your Go Kit! - KC1BAQ - 03-28-2014

I'm looking for ideas on putting together my own ARES Go Kit. Has anyone in the club put one together? If so, can you please share pictures of your kit and describe its contents?

Also, does the club have go kits assembled and ready to deploy?

Any advice on gear, tips, and tricks would be very much appreciated.

Let's prepare to serve!

Joe, The CT Region 2 ARES web page at
http://www.ctaresregion2.org/
has a forum on GoKits that may answer all your questions and then some.
If you are not a member of the board, just connect and sign up (no cost) it has many ARES related forums and the Region 2 sub group information.

Here are some pictures of our district emergency coordinator's go box (Douglas WA1SFH):

You can read more about it on the CT Region 2 forum:

Here is another great article on the evolution of a go box:
