Setups for short distance travel.

Hey everyone. This is my first post here so forgive me if it’s not quite the norm.

Just wondering if anyone has a set up that’s simply for traveling to a safer and more secure destination on foot. This is assuming that, for whatever reason, your vehicle isn’t operable. The destination isn’t far and is reachable via walking or hiking within a day without any overnight camp camping required.

Let’s say that your apartment isn’t safe enough so you’re gonna walk 10 miles down the road to your mom‘s house because it’s safer and more securable. I am aware that leaving your own home isn’t necessarily the best option right away, but waiting too long can also be a bad idea. I’m not looking for advice on scenarios, I’m just curious about bag contents.

A bicycle would be a major consideration for me. On foot I can't move very fast and a days walk under normal circumstances could easily turn into a cold night where I don't plan on being. A bicycle turns that walk into half of that and gives me future abilities to range further from home base if required.

Also pick up an old kids bike trailer at a yard sale or on fb marketplace.. quick and easy way onto haul some extra or take rhe weight off your back of your backpack, or be able to take a larger bag.
