I just redid my get home bag. I realized it had almost become a bug out bag as opposed to just something to get me back home. For some perspective, it's about 11 miles driving it from home to work. Walking it would be basically the same. I'd been using an LBT extended day ruck, swapped it out for a Blackhawk Hydrastorm. Having much less space to fill made it a much better put together GHB.
With it, tied to the outside and easily dumped if I have on appropriate footwear. Can't wear boots at work.
I was down in Memphis 7 or 8 times, for a week or two each, back in the mid '80s. Wasn't crazy about that area then, can't imagine now.... Good luck to you if you have to GH bad.
