List of emergency survival supplies?
Just putting together wilderness gear list aimed for survival. Please add reusable items you like.
First aid kit
Rice, Jerky, Popcorn
Canteen
Crank flashlight
4-season tent
Sleeping bag
Fire starting gear
Knives
Machete
Rain gear
Other clothing
Good pack
mess kit
First aid kit should include duct tape, large safety pins, single edge razor blade or scalpel blade, tweezers, large sewing needles and thread. Of course, if you take prescription meds, a supply should be in your first aid kit, along with prescription information for use and refills. A Celox or QwikClot are also good to have.
Medical Information and Contacts card, listing all medical conditions and several emergency contacts, including your doctor and insurance info.
Identification. Keep a copy of your driver's license and passport in your kit, along with four 2" x 2" photos suitable for passport use. If you lose all your official ID, this can help you obtain replacements more quickly.
Ditch the rice and popcorn; no protein and requires too much fuel. Jerky is good. Foil packets of tuna, salmon are good. Canned Vienna sausages, chicken, ham, turkey. Nuts, dried fruit, crackers. Instant soup packets, coffee packets, tea bags. Lifeboat-style emergency food rations (2400, 3600 and 4800-calorie emergency ration bars) offers the best nutrition/weight ratio and lasts 5 years. Other stuff needs to be rotated.
If you're bringing stuff that needs to be cooked or prepared with hot water, include a stove and fuel. Don't rely on being able to make a campfire to eat.
In addition to the canteen, have additional water containers so you can carry at least 4 Liters of water at all times. You never know how long it will be in between watering spots. I carry two Nalgene bottles and a 3L Platypus bladder. You can boil water to make it safe for drinking but this takes lots of time and fuel; add a good water filter and also include water purification tablets as a backup.
Drop the machete unless you live in the tropics. A small axe would be good for chopping and splitting wood.
Knives? You only need one, at best two. A fixed-blade, full-tang knife that takes and holds a good, sharp edge. Possibly supplement with a full-size multi-tool, but this issent essential.
Drop the crank flashlight. Get a good LED headlamp and/or flashlight and a supply of lithium batteries. Weighs less, lithium batteries have long shelf life, work well in cold weather and are much lighter than alkaline batteries or crank flashlights.
If you have room for a tent and sleeping bag, more power to you. I have a sleeping bag liner, mylar emergency bivy bag and a sil-nylon tarp for shelter. Don't forget about a foam pad or insulated, inflatable mattress for under your sleeping bag.
Gloves, hat, balaclava, bandanna, mid-weight base layer, extra underwear, extra socks and sock liners.
Some braided fishing line and tackle, and snare wire.
Paracord or tether cord
More duct tape
Disposable cigarette lighters
Fire steel
Road flares
Compass & maps
Signal Mirror
Signal Whistle
Cell phone and charger, and emergency charger (solar or battery)
$200 cash in small bills and a spare credit card
Depending on the situation, I might include a firearm and ammunition. Something along the lines of the Henry H002B (AR-7), which comes apart so everything stores inside the stock to fit in your pack.
