I figure it's about time I actually posted something about actual survival, more specifically in a wilderness setting. The first thing that comes to mind outside fo the obvious Food/Clothing/Shelter necessities, which I pretty much already have narrowed down, and is probably the first thing any real experienced backpacker is going to look into is a camp stove. 5 minutes on google, and man have I found the big one. Check it out:

Yeah, The Optimus Nova Multi-Fuel Stove. This thing will run on anything liquid that burns. From the gas in your car to that bottle of 151 that you've been saving, and everything in between. I imagine it will run on ethanol as well, which is the important part, because I think that's going to be the most prevalant, or at least renewable, form of fuel left when SHTF.
It's a little price, and a little bulky, but it's rugged and flexible, and will see you through 3-5 years at least of the worst case cenario you can think of.
I'm also looking into some non-lethal means of protection I can carry around with me legally. The most effective looking item I've come across are the Blast Knuckles. Just google'em. Essentially thick plastic knuckles, like brass knuckles, but not metal, with a stun gun attatched. From what I've seen, they should be legal in any stat that allows stun guns, but check your local statutes to be sure. Can you imagine the sheer volition you could inflict whilst wearing two of these? Combined with a pair of combat gloves, they would be outright deadly.
That's all for now.
