Another consideration is this. It is eight hours of travel time from work to home. My assumption is this is during ideal “normal” times. If the SHTF then you might encounter resistance, road blocks, detours, and other hazards that require you to delay or slow progress. Another aspect is that you might not necessarily be leaving for home at 8 AM. You might be leaving at 5 PM? Maybe an overnight stay is possible (or likely), in which case I would certainly plan for it.
I I echo the advice to determine what items you need to bring with, then get a bag that fits your needs. Too often I see people grab bags first, then just try to stuff them full of crap.
