Pizza's idea of the Sawyer was an excellent suggestion and would be one of my top recommendations as well. To hit some other categories for ideas:

Viral/Contamination:

this?

For the machete a Cold Steel kukri is an excellent option.

Field strip the MREs: here's how.

Get the Chinese military shovel instead, it's really awesome. Here's one link to buy it.

Would advise a Camelbak or other mini-backpack style hydration bladder, much better for mobility.

For the rope: get milspec 550 paracord.

Gorilla brand duct tape is advised.

For the multitool either SOG or Leatherman are excellent choices. A couple of good picks from each: SOG PowerAssist and PowerLock as well as the Leatherman MUT and the Charge TTi.

Check out 4Sevens for excellent quality flashlights - really these guys are among the best in the flashlight market.

For the gun I would advise a Ruger 10/22 with a folding stock for compactness. Add some 32 round interlocking magazines and a box or two of ammo (.22LR is cheap, they come in boxes of 500 or so).

I would also recommend a Red Cross multifunction solar/crank radio.

The SAS Survival Handbook and of course the Zombie Survival Guide would make good additions.

These aren't under $5, but definitely worth getting and HAVING. I've been increasingly interested in surivalism (as a result of hanging out with my paranoid dad), so definitely get these books:

u/CourierOfTheWastes · 2 pointsr/zombies

i actually posted about the bible.

>Ignore the bible (Unless you're religious, then add whatever scripture you like. Make sure it's waterproof or at least compact. Ill have This Book)

And you're probably right about the bible.

And cash is great in the first few days after SHTF. If stores wont take it, some idiot will. Money, even today, is only worth what we believe it is worth. Otherwise it is still cloth paper....but even after the dead rise, SOMEBODY will believe it worth something.

u/SNAFUBAR · 2 pointsr/collapse

The SAS Survival Handbook is a good one. There's a broad range of material covered; in just one book.

u/Derporelli · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

SAS Survival Handbook. Not a novel, but definitely a useful real. It doesn't hurt to know a little about survival.

edit: spelling

u/digit0 · 1 pointr/AskReddit

I would be most concerned with the following:

Survival
Health
Education

u/TheJerseyDevil123 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon
  1. For when you need to take a minute away from class


  2. For those art projects when you run out of the answer


    3.For when you need that after class snack and don't want hair in your food


  3. For when you want to get away from it all you need to be prepared


  4. One of these in my trunk would mean I'm always ready for a study break


    Bonus. Gotta keep those school books dry with this cape like item

I know it's not a book. The Colony is an interesting watch if you ever get some time to sink in information.

I'm newer to this but also live in WA state and intend to "bug in" rather than out in a shit scenario.

SAS survival guide is awesome so far. I'm reading through it and I got a spare copy to keep in my SHTF can. http://smile.amazon.com/SAS-Survival-Handbook-Revised-Situation/dp/0061733199/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398350073&sr=1-1&keywords=sas+survival+guide

As a nooby hunter, I grabbed this one too- "Basic butchering of livestock and game" http://smile.amazon.com/dp/0882663917/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2MVWQ49SCGVGV&coliid=I3SD7QD3U8DZBD

also "A guide to canning, freezing, curing, and smoking meat, fish, and game."

http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0050H1EZI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2MVWQ49SCGVGV&coliid=I33TWUFB25UNYA

I'd say that Ed and Jack there are a bit overzealous. You SHOULD have these books and be reading them before SHTF but the idea that books are worthless is... stupid, frankly. In the first 72 hours? Sure. You need to KNOW what you're doing to make it through the first couple days. But if the power goes out or something, what else are you going to do? You're gonna get bored and keeping your mind busy is a big step toward not going crazy. Keeping your mind busy on stuff that will HELP rather than sudoku makes a lot more sense to me.

Anyway- First aide, food, resource storage/gathering, and defense are the ways to go, IMO.

I recommend surplus Army .50 ammo cans for your cache! Those are fantastic.

People that have robbed banks have used those to store weapons and money in remote caches I'm the woods.

I recommend either
U.S. Army Ranger Handbook: Revised and Updated Edition by Army http://www.amazon.com/dp/161608877X/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_BLBntb125B68G

Or

SAS Survival Handbook

Wilderness Medicine

Where There Is No Doctor

First Aid For Dogs

These are the ones I have. The SAS Survival guide is great for general survival know-how. Wilderness Medicine and Where There Is No Doctor are both great resources on field medicine and first aid. I got First Aid For Dogs because I probably wouldn't go anywhere without my dog and I want to be able to take care of him like he's part of the family.

If you buy all these off Amazon, then they will give you many more suggestions on good resource books. These are just the ones I keep ready and good overviews of many different scenarios.
