You sometimes hear of these people - people like dissidents or spies who have a suitcase packed at all times. Something goes down and BAM, get out of there. And you think they're a bit paranoid or crazy for doing that.
And then you have to pack. We do not do packing well. Most of us are "oh, I have plenty of time to pack" It's like an afterthought. Were it possible, most of us would be on the tarmac, ready to take-off and say "Wait! stop the plane. I think I need my dress shoes. Well maybe we'll wind up going someplace fancy. You don't want to be unprepared do you?"
So most of us fall into one of two camps. You've got the people who decide that what needs to be packed is everything. Tuxedo, tennis racket, clothes iron. Because heaven forbid you be unprepared. And you never know... maybe you'll need it. So what you're left with is a suitcase that weighs as much as the moon.
The other end is the people who think "you know if I need something I can just buy it there. All right I'll just grab this this this Boom! I'm done. let's go" And what you have is something like three socks, a toothbrush and aftershave. Like one of the most useless combinations of things to have ever.
