Items List

Have your list of things, here's a sample of what's in mine. There is no such thing as a complete list of things you should have. This is a list of my things in a car bag, yours may/should vary. You have to prioritize based on location, space, and mobility. On your person, back of your car, watertight container in your house. And a laminated inventory sheet, so that it reminds you of what you have, and where. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2022-05-10

All the below items are my car bag: a Molle Backpack w/many compartments and many containers (some preferably aluminum to cook in)

Batman utility belt items

• Gloves (work & surgical)
• Dust masks
• Duct Tape
• Wire Saw
• Knife
• Multitool - Gerber's is lots cheaper than leatherman

Convenience Bag

• Reading/safety glasses

Crisis kit

• Food: Ration bars(3 days) = $12
• Pack of gatorade powder (makes treated water palatable)

Survival kit

• Shelter: Large garbage bags (also sanitation, utility, etc), Mylar Emergency Blankets x5 = $3.00
• Food: and emergency fishing kit, or sometimes hunting supply & defense (slingshot, gun, bow, string for snares, etc)

Personal Defense Weapon (PDW)

This gets into a whole separate issues that are hotly debated, of how much do you trust your fellow man, and so on.

Lots of people carry around tools of defense. But if you live in a people's republic (like California) the State highly frowns on trusting civilians with anything that could harm their oligarchs (sticks, guns or sharp tools on their person). Only politicians and their state approved security force is allowed to carry those.

Since the odds of running into trouble with the law exceeds the odds of running into a catastrophe, I tend to stay on the legally safe side of the fence when in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Californistan. Others have the "tried by 12 is better than being carried by 6" philosophy. But I live in Texas now, so I tend to carry things that could protect me from no longer being the apex predator on the food chain.

I don't judge, either way. I figure even in a bad situation, I can probably make it to home. But YMMV.
