What's in your survival kit when TEOTWAWKI comes?
With all the cryptic threads, talk of earthquakes, doom and gloom, WWIII and everything else, are you prepared if/when The End Of The World As We Know It comes? I think this is a good time for all of us to revisit this question, if you haven't already. Now may be a good time to follow the Boy Scout motto and "Be Prepared." It can't hurt right?

There is only so much you can do to prepare for the unknown. I mean, who knows how it will go down if/when it does. It's also apparent that not everyone has extra cash to just be going crazy with survival items. There's always going to be something that's just out of your reach financially, but just mentally preparing is better than most are doing, I think.

Off the top of my head, in no special order, here are some of the items on my checklist. I know I'm forgetting crucial, life saving type equipment so let's put our heads together and help each other prepare.

MRE's
Water
Field expedient water filter
Guns
Ammo
Ear plugs
First Aid
Tool box or bag
Multi tool i.e. Gerber, Leatherman
Waterproof ammo storage
Tent
Rain Fly
Survival Knife
Machete
550 chord
Sleeping Bag's
Fishing pole and line
Mosquito netting
Maps, not GPS
Bug juice
Flashlights
Candles
Cotton balls soaked in Vaseline (fire starter)
Survival Books
Binoculars
Flint and striker
Duct Tape
Matches
Compass
Jumper Cables
Waterproof boots
Shortwave radio (hand crank style)
Bug out Bag
Knife sharpener
Bungee chords
Gore Tex outerwear
Gore Tex / Waterproof bivy for sleeping bag
Hygiene Items
Seeds for growing your own food
Work gloves
Batteries
Extra glasses, if applicable
Strap for glasses

Like I said, there are items I'm forgetting. Please take the time to add anything and everything applicable to an emergency type situation. Even if you can't acquire everything, it can't hurt to begin preparing, if you're not already.

Peace All!!!

Re: What's in your survival kit when TEOTWAWKI comes?
In my opinion having a place to go and knowing how you are going to get there is the first thing. There are some things on your list that are doubled up, no problem if you have a functioning vehicle and the roads are clear. Big problem if you have to carry it on your back. I would add a small axe, a penny stove with meths and booze. Over proof rum is my choice as it works as stove fuel, antiseptic, pain killer and barter goods.

I agree fer sure, as you're never going to know how things will shake out. Having a plan in place with your friends/family is definitely necessary. All the stuff I have is priority packed. If one bag is all there's time or room for, then it's one bag ya know

No worries. I did that and there are, in fact, a hundred threads. I'm new to GLP so it didn't cross my mind, at first. Guess it can't hurt to revisit for the 101st time. My bad

You fit that in yournbackpack? How much does it weigh?

Wouldn't it make sense to have the very basics in the backpack and the BOL stocked?

Of course it's not all in one backpack. I stated earlier that I'm priority packed. Depending on the situation, I'll take as much or as little as necessary. I do have a bug out bag with the basics though

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34353211


the more practical strategy is to have a secondary stash of survival items and supplies away from the population center

just make sure it can't be found by others and can be found by you!

get to it when TSHTF

you still need the basics: Knife,Fire-starting kit,Canteen,Food,Water etc.
