Where I live isn't exactly Manhattan. In the unlikely event that we should, say, lose electricity and the county road not get plowed, we're pretty much in wilderness. That hasn't happened for a couple of weeks, though.

It's good to have certain basic survival supplies close to hand, in your home if you aren't traveling, in the car at least if that's how you're traveling, on your back if you're on foot. More important is the knowledge of how to use what you have.

Swiss Army Knife. Carry it.
