Your survival kit is in many ways your lifeblood in a survival situation and your way of keeping life as you know it somewhat stable.

But you will inevitably forget or overlook something; here is a list to help reduce that probability.

Baby Wipes – A very easy and convenient way to keep clean.

Backpack Rain Cover – Keep your bug out bag and its contents dry even if it’s pouring down rain.

Bandanas – You wouldn’t think so, but bandanas have dozens of uses.

Celox Blood Clotting Powder – This stuff is great. It will stop small, penetrating wounds from bleeding.

Glow Sticks – You can use these to mark things in and around your camp so you’re not fumbling in the dark.

Goggles – Useful if you have to swim, and they’ll also protect your eyes from sand and debris in a storm.

Instant Coffee – If you’re a caffeine addict, be sure to pack this so you can avoid caffeine headaches.

LifeStraw – Drink water directly from the source. This awesome invention filters up to 260 gallons of water.

Liquid Bandage – An invisible, flexible, waterproof, antiseptic bandage to prevent infections.

N95 Masks – Filter out dust, smoke, ash, and other small particles.

Moleskin – Protect calluses, blisters, and sore spots from painful friction.

Pantyhose – Has all sorts of surprising uses, from building shelters to hunting animals and more.

Penny Can Stove and Denatured Alcohol – A small, lightweight stove that gets very hot and is very efficient.

Pictures of Family and Friends – This is important in case you get separated. People you encounter might be able to help you find your family and friends again.

Poncho Liner Blanket – A weather-resistant blanket that can also be used for building a shelter.

Ranger Bands – Secure belts, cables, cords, hoses, lines, straps, etc.

Seasoning Kit – Great thing to have if you’re hunting and foraging. Also bring some cayenne pepper as it has several health benefits and can keep pests away.

Sewing Kit – If it’s the end of the world as we know it and you’ve bugged out to a remote location far away from any stores, you’ll have to mend damaged clothes.

Siphon – Refuel your vehicle with gas from abandoned vehicles.

Sling Shot – Hunt birds and small game without wasting ammo.

Solar Charging Kit – Charge your devices and batteries whenever the sun is out. You can attach this to the outside of your bug out bag so it works even while you’re walking.

Spare Glasses and/or Eyeglass Repair Kit – The last thing you want is to be half blind in a survival scenario.

Trash Bags – There are dozens of reasons to pack trash bags.

Trick Candles – Since these refuse to go out, they’re great for building a fire in windy conditions.

Umbrella – Pretty self-explanatory. Being wet isn’t very fun, especially if it’s cold and you’re walking.

Zip Ties – Yet another small item with multiple uses. Even just a few of them could be useful.

If you are diligent and persevering, over time you will greatly narrow the list of stuff you forgot to include in your survival kit.

But even then, chances are very good you will overlook something. The only way to make that reality as rare as possible is to constantly refine and add, with lists like this.
