In essence it is like the phrase: "It is better to be safe than sorry”
I experienced something similar when a friend of mine was hospitalized, I couldn't do much for her and I felt very bad for basically being useless in that situation.
But in the event I have to go through the same thing, I would want to be prepared, so I am grateful to you for explaining the importance of a BOB.
As well as the importance of planning routine and managing time in an emergency.
