"...Add bicycles to your list, as well..."

Extra tires for the bike are a must, and for every tire you should get 10 extra tubes.

When you run out of tubes you can stuff the tires with almost anything soft, like old clothing to make the bike ridable. A mountain bike survivalist once told me that even grass works in a pinch when you're out in the boonies.

Good point, and good info. I'm considering filling my next punctured tube with some of that urethane-foam-in-a-can from Lowes or Home Depot to see if I can't make puncture-proof inner tubes. I know they're available, but last I checked too expensive for my current budget. Survivalism on the cheap can be fun, but also a PITA.
