Stuff that breaks apart or fails you in a moment of need is worse than useless.<\/p>\n<h1>Foodstuffs:<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Long-shelf life and nutritious stuff. Canned goods&#8230; meats, dried pasta, ravioli, fruits, veggies. Canned sauces. And of course&#8230; a can opener.<\/li>\n<li>Dried milk.<\/li>\n<li>If you have to feed babies: Any kind of baby formula, baby food, soft fruity stuff.<\/li>\n<li>Flour, yeast, spices, salt, sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Rice, beans, honey.<\/li>\n<li>Multivitamins.<\/li>\n<li>Chocolate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Survival essentials:<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>A roomy, solid, comfortable backpack.<\/li>\n<li>A durable knife of quality steel, with a whetting set. Should be lockable if folding-type. At least one.<\/li>\n<li>Durable gloves, water resistant. Kevlar-reinforced gloves are smart in some situations (fx. taking care of threatening goons with knives).<\/li>\n<li>Solid, durable footwear. Hiking boots. Boots with metal toe shieds\/crush resistance (also useful for self-defence in such situations).<\/li>\n<li>Flashlight\/torch: Preferably a Maglite-type, metal-casing\/solid version with a LED powerful light with low power draw. Small &#8220;reading&#8221; flashlights are also good. Plenty of batteries, preferably ones with low self-discharge rates (classical Alkaline or 2nd generation NiMH). Headmounted torch\/headlight even better than a torch in most cases.<\/li>\n<li>First Aid kits.\u00a0Bandages\/wound dressings. Disinfectants. Hospital-grade alcohol (do not drink unless you&#8217;re Russian).<\/li>\n<li>Antibiotic tablets. Painkillers.<\/li>\n<li>A water jug\/can\/canteen, possible with an active carbon filter for removing noxious compounds.<\/li>\n<li>Water disinfectant tablets.<\/li>\n<li>Stored, clean, potable water in storage-safe containers: For drinking, cooking, and essential bathing.<\/li>\n<li>Your continued sanity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>Needs:<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Warm, weather resistant outdoor clothing.<\/li>\n<li>Thick, durable socks and replacements &#8211; wet feet are not good at all.<\/li>\n<li>Watertight ziploc\/zippered bags for clothes (and other stuff that ought not to get wet).<\/li>\n<li>Hat\/hood to keep your head dry and water\/dirt out of your eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Soap; both bars and liquid types.<\/li>\n<li>Candles\/kerzen, oil lamps (w\/ oil supplies), alcohol furnaces (w\/ alcohol), matches (preferable storm-safe or water-proof ones), lighters.<\/li>\n<li>Sleeping bags, blankets (both for covering yourself and for rolling up and using as a pillow), mats to sleep on (trust me, sleeping on a hard, stony surface is difficult and very uncomfortable).<\/li>\n<li>Propane\/Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) containers and appropriate burning devices. <strong>Guaranteed<\/strong> to become scarce!<\/li>\n<li>If you suffer from a medical condition, stock up with plenty of the medicines or pharmaceutical products you need to keep going!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>High-grade conveniences:<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Spices for your foods: Pepper grains, ground pepper in airtight containers, salt, garlic, anything. Even the most boring and yucky foods become edible with spices added.<\/li>\n<li>Brand-name or high-quality ingestible alcohols. Not the favorite intoxicant in human history for no reason. Can also be used as disinfectant, or a valuable barter item.<\/li>\n<li>Coffee, tea, chocolate, wine&#8230; (as above)<\/li>\n<li>Toilet paper, tissues and various hygienic products: Conventional razors\/shavers with razor-blades, feminine hygiene products, toothbrush, deodorants. Nail scissors.<\/li>\n<li>Tarps for covering wet ground, covering off your hideout, tent, whatever.<\/li>\n<li>Large plastic bags.<\/li>\n<li>Duct tape.

Extremely useful in certain situations.<\/li>\n<li>Sugared colaor soft drinks are useful for fast energy in low-food situations, but don&#8217;t waste valuable space with it otherwise.<\/li>\n<li>Cigarettes &#8211; if youre not addicted yourself, it is a valuable trade item with those who are.<\/li>\n<li>Tools for your house\/hut: Hammers, saws, axes, hatchets, nails, superglues\/adhesives, duct tape. Sharpening kit useful for sharp objects.<\/li>\n<li>If its legal for you to acquire and own: A firearm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pretty useless stuff:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/haxor.dk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/give_a_fuck_ometer.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123\" alt=\"give_a_fuck_ometer\" src=\"http:\/\/haxor.dk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/give_a_fuck_ometer.gif\" width=\"400\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iPads, Facefuck and Angry Birds<\/li>\n<li>What this year&#8217;s &#8220;celebrities&#8221; are doing with their tits, ass and genitals<\/li>\n<li>Rosy promises of politicians<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Sources and other places to go for inspiration:<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepowerhour.com\/news\/items_disappearfirst.htm\" target=\"_blank\">100 things to disappear first<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/archives\/120-powerful-pieces-of-advice-for-preppers\" target=\"_blank\">120 powerful pieces of advice for Preppers <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For &#8220;preppers&#8221;: In general: All the stuff you get should be durable, reliable, and be able to take some punishment.
