I just posted this in another thread as well...
THE LIST
1. Water (5 day supply at one gallon per day per person).
2. A good canteen and basins to catch rainwater. Also have a good supply of water purification tablets or bleach, or plan to boil your water. (one teaspoon of bleach per 5 gallons of water)
3. Food, per person, for one year:
-Wheat - 300 lbs.
-Rice - 100 lbs.
-Beans, Peas, Lentils, 50 lbs. each
-Honey or Sugar - 60 lbs.
-Salt - 3 lbs.
-Cayenne Pepper - 1 large can
-Herbal Seasonings
-Dried Milk - 80 lbs.
-Peanut Butter - 50 lbs.
-Dried Fruit
-Canned food, or dried (ready to mix) food
-Oatmeal - 50 lbs.
-Alfalfa Seeds - 10 lbs.
-Canned Sardines, tuna, salmon
-Military MRE makes a great meal
* If you have a baby, include formula and baby food. If you have
pets, you will want food for them ass well. Store food needs in waterproof containers, capable of also protecting against
insects and mice. Use Steel garbage cans or plastic 5 gallon buckets. The vacuum sealed method is also very good. If you are storing nuts or oatmeal, they smell and taste bad after a while, so they will need to be rotated. For all storing of food, the rule is: use up the old and replace with the new.
4. Manual grain grinder
5. Medicines - Assemble a standard first aid kit, with a comprehensive first aid book. Also include things for headache, upset stomach, congestion, colds, such as Pepto Bismol, aspirin, Tylenol, Excedrin, disinfectants, prescription medicines; and anything else you use regularly. Include vitamins, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, sage tea for colds, mint tea, golden seal, brandy (good as medicine), herbal tinctures, hops, catnip (which helps you sleep), herbs for cooking, including dried garlic and onions, cayenne pepper, cumin, basil, and coriander and salt. After you've been eating rice and beans for a few days, they'll need lots of help to make them taste good.
6. Toothbrushes, baking soda or salt to brush with, a good supply of dental floss (which can be used for other things as well) and another items you need for good tooth care. Deodorant, Q-tips, toilet paper, other hygienical goods.
7. Extra glasses, goggles, sunglasses, binoculars, telescope, etc.
8. For a camp kitchen you need: camp stove with good supply of fuel (in wooded areas, all you need are rocks and a flat tin or grill), pots and pans, plates and bowls (unbreakable)(you can use Army surplus camp kits) cooking utensils, knife, forks, spoon, spatula, biodegradable dish soap, towels, bucket to carry water, dish pan, aluminum foil, toothpicks.
9. A good tent, sleeping bag for each person, extra blankets, sleeping pads, and ground cloth - and another waterproof tarp to cover your camp gear.
10. Clothing- Have clothing for all weather. Include a good warm coat and sweaters, hat for rain or shine, rain gear, a good pair of hiking boots that will take years to wear out, warm winter underwear, wool socks, summer socks (don't wear socks with holes in them as they cause blisters) work gloves, hats, and whatever else you need for warmth and protection.
11. Hunting equipment. Hunting might be necessary for survival in some situations. Be prepared both with equipment and knowledge of how to use the equipment. First choice of a gun is a .22 caliber rifle. You can kill anything up to a deer with it. Purchase .22 hollow point bullets. If you are not a good marksman, then get a 30-30 or 30-06. A shotgun comes in handy for shooting things flying or running. The bow and arrow is still one of the best weapons.
12. Fishing equipment- Get basic equipment. Include assorted sized hooks, fish lines, sinkers, etc.
13. Wood stove- Get one with a secondary burn chamber. It uses less wood and creates less pollution. Get one with a flat top for cooking.
14. Net or netting.
15. Hand tool set (wrenches, ratchet and sockets, hammer, screwdrivers, allans, saws, pliers, cutters, scissors, bolts, screws, nuts, nails, etc.)
16. 550# test Para cord and rescue rope with carabineers.
17. Axe, hatchet, files.
18. Splitting maul
19. Flashlights with extra batteries and bulbs; long burning candles; propane, kerosene, or Coleman lantern with plenty of fuel, and extra wicks and mantles.
20. A good pocket knife and a sharpening stone.
21. Hammers, assorted nails, assorted screws, wrench set, pliers, wire cutters, screw drivers, pipe wrench, 200 feet of 1/4 inch nylon rope, duct tape.
22. Shovels, spades, hoes, and rakes with strong teeth
23. Charging system- wind, water, or solar- to pump water and provide electricity
24. Backpack- Waterproof.
25. Compass and/or GPS.
26. Up-to-date maps of the area you want to live in. This will show you land and water away from human habitation.
27. A 4 wheel drive vehicle with extra parts.
28. Tire chains for snow.
29. Radio. Have more than one. Electrical and battery operated.
30. Soap for laundry and bathing.
31. Natural insect repellent.
32. A mirror.
33. Extra toilet paper. Also keep old newspapers and telephone directories for emergencies. (Hint: if you need to use old newspaper, crinkle it up and straighten it out several times first- it's much softer!)
34. Female needs- (Use cloth pads you can wash)
35. Baby diapers- (Use cloth you can wash).
36. A basic sewing kit (needles and threads)
37. Safety pins
38. Swiss Army knife and/or Leatherman
39. Bobby pins (you can work wonder with these)
40. Pencils, pens and paper
41. Entertainment (musical instruments, games, cards, books, etc.)
42. Crazy glue
43. Patch kit
44. Cell phone
45. Cash and other items that might be used for bartering/trade.

Agreed. Maybe several lists...break it down to keep it simple. Food, medical, clothing, shelter, bug-out bags, defense, etc.
"Bug-Out Bag" and Evacuation Kit Contents

medications
I've often thought of how many prescription only medications there are that would be priceless to have in survival situations. Pain Killers, antibiotics, and I'm sure plenty more. Anyone have any good ideas for substitutes for these?
OTC pain killers obviously would be better than nothing....I guess I'm thinking more about antibiotics. They have a short (1 year, or maybe less?) shelf life I think.
Antibiotic creams, etc. may be a good first line of defense, but we all know how a simple injury can get worse if not treated properly. Something all purpose...or will we have to start getting penicillin from cheese again?

Denny's list looks very good, I would add a couple of things; from a medical perspective a fireld surgical kit can be essential, and medicine for diarreah (many people have died from this if untreated), stailess steel safety wire, zip ties and a "storm whistle" (which can be heard for quite a distance further than a human voice). Just a thought...

Heres one. Not 100% complete by any means but I think it's a good basic outline. I've compiled LOTS of these over the years and they have been fine tuned to fit our family.
*Gas in cars, always. (Ask the people trying to escape hurricane Rita)
*Non-electric can opener
*Clorox, plain kind
*Dishwashing detergent
*Small scrubbie
*Paper Towels
*Toilet paper, a very important item
*Tissues
*Matches
*Long-snout type lighters
*Candles
*Portable heater
*Emergency radio
*Emergency lighting
*Camp stove & fuel
*Games, playing cards, craft supplies, hobby supplies, free word games and other games off the net
*Containers, including at least one 5 gallon or similar bucket (emergency potty and many other uses)
*Plastic bags, different sizes, including large ones, many uses
*Duct tape
*Scissors
*Disposable plates, forks, spoons, hot and cold cups
*Knives
*Cooking pots and a few utensils (in case you are forced to leave)
*Hand beater, non-electric, like in the old days (many uses including mixing dry milk)
*Ziplock bags
*Aluminum foil
*Extra set of car keys
*Sleeping bags or plenty of blankets
*Sturdy shoes
*Glasses, sunglasses
*Clothes pins
*Clothes line rope and other rope (multiple uses)
*Surgical type gloves
*Work gloves
*A little shovel (what if the potty doesn't work.. and other uses)
*A small saw, tools or toolkit
*Non-electric clock or watch
*Batteries
*Duct Tape and sheet plastic
*Mylar type emergency blankets (good over windows, too)
*Sunscreen
*Purell or generic alcohol gel hand cleaner (Very Important)
*Nail brush
*Wipes or baby wipes, refills are usually cheaper (get several kinds, brands smell differently)
*Bug repellent, skin type
*Insect killers, flying type also
*Shaving supplies
*Nail clippers
*Toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss
*Tampons or other sanitary needs
*Shampoo
*Soap
*No-rinse face wash, like Cetaphil (generic OK)
*Mop bucket with wringer to use as a washing machine (Dollar Stores, discount store, inexpensive)
*Maps, atlas
*Compass
*Metal garbage can to burn trash
*Paper and pen
*Magnifier
*A Sharpie type waterproof marker
*Note paper
*Photocopies of important documents such as birth certificates, drivers' licenses and so on for the entire family
*A cell phone charger, if you have a phone. Even when phone service was available, many Katrina survivors could not call out because their phones were dead and there was no power. When phone service is bad, small text messages can sometimes get through.
*A corded phone, they don't need electricity like a cordless phone
*Camping toilet, or perhaps your family has a bedside potty stored?
*Generator
*Solar panels and battery system
*Oil lamps and pure lamp oil
*Firewood
*Coleman lanterns with fuel & mantels
*Items for self protection
*Good locks on doors and windows
*Water containers
*Gasoline containers
*Hatchet or Axe
*Wound closure strips
*Gauze and tape
*Band aids
*Betadine or Hibiclens to wash injuries
*Anesthetic, like Lanacaine or Solarcaine
*Vitamins
*Imodium (generic is fine and cheaper)
*Tylenol or Ibuprofen
*Theraflu
Vitamin C, or Ester-C, Emergen-C
*Extra bottles or packages of all of your regular prescriptions, B.C. pills
*Contact lens solution
*Antibiotic ointment
*Thermometer
*Pet supplies
Emergency Food Storage List for People with Limited Incomes
30 cans of meat (15 tuna, 15 chili)
8 pounds oatmeal
40 pounds white rice
40 pounds flour
15 pounds corn meal
30 pounds pasta
10, 26 oz cans of spaghetti sauce (or 30, 8 ounce cans of tomato sauce & some spices)
30 boxes macaroni and cheese
30, 15 oz. Cans Mixed Vegetables (15 Oz. Cans)
4, 3 pound cans shortening (or equivalent in oil)
15 pounds sugar
3, 32 ounce jars grape jelly
salt, bouillon, pepper, some hard candy, spices, yeast, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa
5 pounds dehydrated hamburger (see recipe below)
12 lbs dried milk (60 quarts liquid)
12 lbs dried beans or peas
This list can be bought for about $160 (look for sales, buy generic and store brands), and provides 30 days of nourishing meals with 2500 calories per day per person for a family of 4.
Additional items that would enhance this diet include cream of mushroom soup, instant potatoes, syrup, sprouting seeds, tea, more canned meats, vegetables, fruit, & dried beans/peas, tomato/spaghetti sauce (another $30 - 40). From these ingredients you can prepare: donuts, chocolate cake, chili mac casserole, biscuits, macaroni & cheese, tortillas, chili & rice, bread, rice pudding, Spanish rice, pasta and various sauces, hush puppies, gluten steaks/meatless loaf, bean loaf, cookies (among the many possibilities).
Measure portions carefully. If you typically don't include these foods in your diet, and this is what you plan to store, start cooking with them now. Don't wait for an emergency to start a new diet. This helps save on your current food bill too, and thus helps you to put aside more food now for an emergency later.
If you can't buy it all at once, buy a little at a time until you have 2 or 3 months emergency supplies on hand. Store carefully so roaches and rodents don't get in -- look for food grade plastic containers such as 5 or 6 gallon buckets with lids, you can often get them cheap or even free at bakeries, donut shops, restaurants, or other places that serve a lot of food. Empty 2 liter pop bottles are another cheap storage container for dry goods like beans, rice, and flour.
Rotate your supplies, use some of the flour, rice, beans or whatever, and then buy more. "Store what you eat, and eat what you store." Use this list as a guide, customize it to meet the needs and tastes of your family.

Funny you mention cost. My wife and I (by the list I posted above) figured our family of five to be able to eat plenty for less than $5 a day. Sounds like one of those "Save the Children" commercials. LOL!

10 million candle led light
6 cases (24 bottles) water
2 5 gal water containers
4 5 gal gasoline containers
wading boots
full trauma kit
flashlights
3 cases MRE's

10 pair leather gloves
2 fm transceivers
6 GMRS radios
handheld GPS
assorted canned goods
gas stove
gas cannisters
personal care products
4000 w generator
cleaning products
Clorox
This is a partial list of what I keep stock of. Although this was secured by me, I do use it for whatever comes along.

Hi,
We share a common concern about meds. I am First Responder certified by Red Cross, and recent CERT vol. I recommend it for everyone! I paid only $150 through our ambulance squad. Check around with community orgs, FD, PD, etc.
I have used prescriptions personally 2-3 yrs passed expiration. No problems.
There are many useful herbs and household items for severe bleeding, antiseptic, anesthetic, etc.
I'm working on publishing a book and a pkt guide on urban survival. Until then, I can share more. Just ask. I also post on myspace.
