Today I am writing about things you need for most survival situations. Food and Water are of course two of the main items needed to live but beyond that you should have shelter and warmth.
Sleeping Bags are great if space is not an issue, if space is an issue, then a solar blanket or solar sleeping bag are a great substitute and work extremely well.
Backpacks are a must for a "bug out bag". These are a kit that should have all your necessary items already included and are ready to grab and go an emergency situation.
Radio's are great to have with your gear so you can keep up to date on the news and emergency announcements. I highly recommend a crank or dynamo style radio that includes a cell phone charger and flashlight. This way you have multiple tools in one device and they don't need batteries!
Items you should have in your survival kit or bug out bag (B.O.B.) are a compass, flint fire starter, matches, candle, first aid kit, water storage device (preferably with filtration), flashlight, radio, food and water, solar blanket, small tent (tube tents are ideal since they are lightweight), pocket multi-tool, folding stove, medications, change of clothes and comfortable shoes. This is a basic list and I will expand on other items in the near future. If you have at least these items in a pack, you will have a decent pack ready for an emergency.
