Here are a few handy survival items which I have already purchased and can highly recommend.
The first one is the 'Solar Light Cap' developed by a New Zealand company and is the only one of its kind so far. It has 2 powerful LED's build into the peek of the cap to provide continuous light at varying intensities and can be set to SOS mode as well. There are no batteries to replace. The peak is a sealed unit, waterproof, floats and has a solar panel in the top. It recharges during daily wear and provides light at night. Hands free operation - a great feature. Comes in many styles and can be purchased online here:

A small, high impact, waterproof case contains:
1. A unique fire starter for one-handed operation even with thick gloves on. Works in any weather condition and produces intensely hot sparks.
2. An unbreakable signal mirror which floats and can be seen from up to 100 miles away. Used by the US Airforce.
3. A high frequency whistle, especially designed without a bead which could freeze up or clog with dirt, making it non-functional. It produces a 122Db ear-piercing shriek above any other natural noise.
4. Some wet weather tinder which can be ignited and placed on water without extinguishing.
5. A hand-operated 24" chain saw which cuts through fairly large diameter hard-wood trees and logs. Cuts in both directions and is self-cleaning.
You can buy the items separately but will find it much cheaper and more useful to get them in the kit. Here is the link:

A compact unit which will filter up to 13,000 gallons of water through a silver impregnated cartridge and is guaranteed for 20 years of use. Consider one or more replacement cartridges for years of Aftertime use. Water is likely going to be contaminated by volcanic ash etc. Our bodies are 70% water!

Another thing which I have not researched yet would be a high quality gas mask which can be comfortably worn for extended periods of time. I am thinking of toxic gases released from the earth and volcanoes. Anybody who has followed the research into the earth rift which suddenly appeared in Ethiopia in 2005 may know that it emits poisonous gas that can kill a human with one breath intake. I saw this in a documentary a few months ago. Some info here:

For those of us contemplating the use of rechargeable devices and batteries in the future, there could be a problem with insufficient sun light for solar cells. I found this pull-string charger which works without light, just in case your iPod is still working. Have a look here:
www.yogenstore.com/products.html Last not least here is something completely free, which you already have, but may not be inclined to use. It can save your life - your own urine! It's a universal panacea for most health conditions and to maintain good health. Yogis have used the 'Auto - Urine Therapy', called 'amaroli' in Sanskrit, for thousands of years. There are many references for it's use in the 'Vedas'. Currently there is a wealth of books available on the topic and I urge you to read up on it. An old-time classic is "Water of Life' by John Armstrong. In the Aftertime it may well be the only medicine available to you.
It was used in the Middle Ages for gangrenes wounds and brights disease. It is totally antiseptic and works great for conjunctivitis.
The body dumps antidotes and hormones into the urine for any condition afflicting us. Unfortunately we have not been educated about it's benefits and know nothing more than to piss it out.
I have been drinking my urine for almost 30 years now and have never visited a doctor in that time frame. The only obstacle to it, is negative programming into the mind from birth, which can easily be overcome with the right kind of knowledge. Remember, you can change your mind!
Most doctors won't recommend it because they don't know about the benefits and of course, there is no money in it for them and the pharmaceutical industry.
Please do yourself a favour and inform yourself about this important topic now. I can't emphasise this enough.
I wish to meet you in the Aftertime physically and emotionally intact. We need each other.
