just happened across this link, which has some issues I've rarely seen mentioned in other threads: 7 Ways To Stay Alive in a Post-Collapse Society

My new project is to assemble small survival kits for stashing in several bags and vehicles. I'd also like to use these as gifts for friends/family as several only have a main kit at home. The preferable size is something that could fit in a glove box, center console or a pants cargo pocket...
Here are several of mine:
1) The pretty standard strategy of acquiring firearms in standard chamberings, regardless of the advantages of other non-standard cartridges (e.g., 7.62x51 vs. 7mm mag, or 5.56x45 vs. 6.5 Grendel). Not just gov. issue standard cartridges, but also 'standard' civilian...
