There are literally thousands of different types of survival lists on the Internet.

Here is one more with some novel ideas you may want to incorporate into your survival supply!

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

Axes – How else will you chop firewood?

Baby Wipes – Really easy way to keep clean.

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.

Bullion Cubes – These make boring meals much more delicious.

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

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

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

Condoms – TEOTWAWKI is not a great time to get pregnant, but people still have needs. Use protection.

Cotton Balls – Great for first aid, cleaning, tinder, and many other things.
Floss – It’s even more important than your tooth brush. If you’re not flossing now, get started.

Glasses and Repair Kits – If you wear glasses, make sure you have a backup pair and a way to fix them.

Goggles – This includes safety goggles and swim goggles. You never know.

Hand Sanitizer – As I mentioned above, there might be a lack of proper sanitation after a major disaster. Stay germ-free.

Map of Your Town – Most of us have gotten used to relying on Google Maps and GPS, but those could become things of the past. Paper maps never stop working.

Pet Supplies. Don’t forget about your pets! There’s a detailed list of pet supplies in this post.

Plastic Sheeting – For repairing leaks, collecting water, keeping out contaminants, and much more.

Saw – Axes are good for chopping firewood, but you’ll need a saw for everything else.

Sewing Kit – If your clothes tear, you might not be able to afford or even get access to new ones. Learn how to sew.

Shoe Laces – Again, you might not be able to get new ones. Plus, shoe laces have several uses.

Shut-off Wrench – Very important if you have gas power. A broken gas line is extremely dangerous.

Tampons – You really don’t want to be without these.

Tarps – Use them to keep stuff dry, provide shade, carry things, and so forth.

Wind-up Clocks – So you don’t have to waste batteries.

Ziploc Bags – Great for keeping things dry and organized.

A big part of being adequately prepared is making lists of survival items you need and over time collecting them into various “kits.”

No matter how hard you work at it though, some stuff will be forgotten.
