Very practical survival manual.

This is a compact reference source for medical information. You can save money by purchasing older editions. I would especially look at the directions on making oral rehydration solution to keep people with diarrhea from dying of dehydration.

Freeplay makes durable self contained lighting products. Wind up source of light for when the power goes out. Great manufacture durable product. I would stay away from the $5.00 lights that fall apart after a couple of uses. I have one freeplay light that is used each year and is 15 years old. It was made before the LED lights of today and it still works.

Self defence item that is not lethal.

Useful for fires in wet and cold situations.

10 year shelf life, a variety of foods are available. What would you or your family do for food if you have no power and must remain in your home for a week or more.

LED flashlight. Long lasting with batteries, bulbs will not wear out. Red LED will preserve your night vision but allow you to still remain active.

This is a hand crank two way radio. The ability to comunicate over a distance without ready access to power is a wonderful thing in a disaster. If you are like me the batteries in your radio or flashlight are always dead when you need them the most. Discuss with your family a channel that you would use in an emergency.

You can always use a tarp. Cover the ground under a tent. Provide shelter.

A ceramic filter can be cleaned and used again for a longer life. Purchase the filter sized for your needs. To be safe I would get a filter that would allow you to easily filter 1 gallon for each person per day in a reasonable time. If you spend half of your day filtering water when are you going to work on food, shelter, and security.

Salt is cheep, stores well, and will be in demand especially if you live far from the ocean. The iodine in table salt is just enough to prevent goiter, but not enough to protect the thyroid from a radioactive event.

You should have a good first aid kit with extra supplies

These are very useful scissors that cut through most anything however they have a limited lifespan and can not be resharpened. I suggest that you buy a few.

Multiple fuel stove. Compact and can handle larger pots.

Self Explanatory. Toilets stop working if there is no power or water.

for general use and the toilet

Power tools will no longer work. I would have a manual drill, some drill bits, a box of 100 2" screws, a hand saw, hammer, nails, plywood, and 4'X4' wood on hand for repairs. Store the wood out of the way in the attic between the rafters. I store the plywood on wire shelves and store supplies on top.

We want to survive, but we do not want to eat like an animal. Light weight durable and cheep.

Large light weight sealable cooking pot. Store supplies in cooker until needed. Can be used to cook over an open fire. Large enough and sturdy enough to last. It is not water proof because of a small steam vent on the top
