James Rawles has a list of lists on his Survivalblog site.

http://www.survivalblog.com/listoflists.xls

He goes into more detail but I’ve found it useful.

Digging tools should include a backhoe for the shoot and shovel bunch.

With your fishing gear, I'd recommend a trotline. You can set it in the morning, check it at noon, and then again in the evening. Make sure it is firmly secured and it can provide you with a steady supply of catfish and turtles.

Just be careful using it in anything other than a TEOTWAWKI situation, as trotlines are illegal in many states.

I had a couple of thoughts. For OpSec you may want to consider a couple of quiet ways to split wood. One of the cheaper options is the Quality Craft Foot-Operated Log Splitter — 1.5-Ton, Model# LSF-001:



I have this one and it works reasonable well. I also use a hand splitter which is a bit loud. For larger pieces of wood or for some knotty stuff you can use the Wel-Bilt Horizontal Manual Hydraulic Log Splitter — 10-Ton:

The Wel-Bilt splitter is heavy and you may want to keep it stationary somewhere. It does work very well.

Finally, in a grid down situation electricity (electric splitter) or fuel may not be available. These tools provide a non-fuel powered option and are quiet.

Toilet paper and pint bottles of booze. The more the better, as they can be used for barter.

I keep reading that ammunition is the best item for bartering, but you must have the right caliber. TP is one size fits all!

Rolls of duct tape and hefty garbage bags. Great for toting, storing, and sealing off windows and doors.

Pick up a few old style beer can openers (aka Church Key) at yard sales.
Put one in your tool box, bail-out-bag, kitchen box, etc.

Might want to consider a still. Liquor could be used as barter.

A pair of 10" curve jawed vice-grips (with the wire cutter).

A pair of those will get you past a wide variety of mechanical fasteners, and chain link fence.

Also handy for cooking and rigging.

IMHO
