50 Survival Items You Forgot To Buy

50 Survival Items You Forgot To Buy

If you’re reading this, you probably already know the basics: water, food storage, first aid, etc. But even hardcore survivalists can overlook things. In this post I want to mention 50 survival items you might have forgotten to buy.

I already mentioned several of these in the post, Unusual Survival Gear, but this is a much longer list. It’s not comprehensive, but hopefully it’ll remind you of a few things you still need to get. For everything on this list that you already have, give yourself a pat on the back.

1. Acoustic Instruments – For entertainment and morale.

2. Aluminum Foil – Great for all sorts of things like cooking food, boiling water, enhancing antennas, keeping sunlight out, etc.

3. Axes – How else will you chop firewood?

4. Baby Wipes – Really easy way to keep clean.

5. Baseballs, basketballs, footballs, etc. – Playing ball is a great way to stave off boredom and keep morale up during hard times.

6. Bicycle Gear – If gasoline is in short supply, you might need your bike to get around. That means you’ll need a bike pump, extra tubes, etc.

7. Book lights – It’s difficult to read by candlelight and you don’t want to waste your flashlight’s batteries. Book lights are cheap and last a long time.

8. Books – You might be surprised how much free time you have after the SHTF. Now’s your chance to read those books you always meant to read (like Atlas Shrugged).

9. Bug Spray – There is usually a major lack of proper sanitation after a disaster, especially if there isn’t running water. That means there will be more roaches and other critters. There might also be a lot more mosquitoes.

10. Bullion Cubes – These make boring meals much more delicious.

11. Calendars – You’ll need a way to track the day and date if the power is out for a long time.

12. Candy – Huge morale booster during difficult times. Just don’t overdo it.

13. Cast Iron Cookware – If you’re cooking over a fire, your regular pots and skillets won’t cut it.

14. Cloth Diapers – Other than the obvious usage, these are also great for cleanups because they’re so absorbent.

15. Clothes Lines and Pins – Because your dryer will be a waste of space.

16. Condiments – Imagine eating a typical meal without mustard, ketchup,  more at http://urbansurvivalsite.com/50-survival-items-you-forgot-to-buy/?utm_source=SHTFPreparedness&utm_medium=Advertising&utm_campaign=SHTFPreparedness
