Re: A brief list of survival supplies
"survival" means different things to different people. If one is used to living a plush lifestyle, survival might mean not being without 2-ply toilet paper and an internet connection. To me it means being able to live on what you have in your pocket under almost any conditions. Hopefully none of us will ever be forced into action so fast that we aren't able to collect a few necessities and such, however, as they say, "be prepared for the worst and hope for the best".
Personally, i keep a very small pack that includes only the most important items to make a survival situation a bit more comfortable -- stuff such as a multi-tool, space blanket, fire starters, cordage, GPS, first-aid, head lamp, etc.. It's a grab-and-go kit (it's actually my everyday hiking pack), should i have the time to grab it. I really don't think things will get that desperate for most of us, but, as they say...
