Making a list

I'm going to list my list.

What have I missed?

1-2 week survival kit

MREs (found in the sporting goods section)
Water
Water purifying tablets
Battery radio
Flash light
Spare batteries
Toilet paper
Wet wipes
Alcohol pads
Small first aid kit
P-38 (to open the canned food I plan to grab on the way out the door)
Big gun (to blow any looter to hell, so it shouldn't be too large a gun, because I don't want to blow them to hell and back)

Each of us should have a survival pack. Not only that, we need to have several ways to find our families if we're seperated from them in a disaster.

Our first line of survival and defense is ourselves. As all of us have learned, in a huge disaster we can't count on any form of government for an immediate rescue.

What's on your list that I've forgotten?

Add to the list:

Matches, enclosed in ziploc or at least a couple lighters
Candles
spare eyeglasses
extra ammo
lantern and little propane bottles

I like the communication with family idea. I think we should all have a contact point miles (or states) away everyone would contact for a central point.

Once again... from personal experience... don't use a fire safe for documents. They don't work. Spread family pics amoung others. Keep important documents and copies at the bank and at trustworthy places, not in your house alone... preferably copies at your communication points.
