Marlin - I use the massive nylon bag that came with the air jack for carrying tools in the wife's Axiom. In the VX I keep everything in the Tone box (and hopefully the JAMAS rear door box in the future).

From a serious aspect, surviving needs to be looked at objectively.

First, where you live needs to be analyzed. What is the environment like? Jungle? Desert? Urban? Woodland?

Then, based on that, you can put together your plan for eating and shelter.

But before all that, I think "survivalists" often overlook the big picture. People seldom think about the breakdown of civilization and the possibility of hostile people trying to thwart your survival plans. Imagine you are sitting at work, reading this very thread, when the chit hits the fan ala Red Dawn. What's your plan? How do you get home to your loved ones to enact your well prepared survival plans? These are the things I like to think about. My AK is sitting at home in my safe, but to get to it RIGHT NOW is not going to happen. I don't think anyone can seriously PLAN on every scenario.

Of course, most survival plans are based on food, water, and shelter while our modern conveniences are "down" for a bit. Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, etc. These things can be planned for adequately, but in my opinion, these are not survival plans. These are just "I can't go to Walmart or take a hot shower right now" plans.

What about a REALLY SERIOUS situation. A widespread disease outbreak, or a hostile invasion or massive terrorist attack, a widespead food or water shortage, a globally cripling environmental disaster, the always present possibility of a zombie apocalypse, then, what do you do?
