Answer 2

There are several types of survival kits, and to be the most prepared, you should have them all. This is some basic information I thought of, not a comprehensive list.

Main survival kit

This kit should be located in a safe and accessible place in your house. Preferably in a cool dry location. It should have items you would need to live for at least a week assuming you had no electricity, gas, water, or ability to purchase items. The kit should also have basic search and rescue items. Think about the disaster that's most likely to hit your area, be it a hurricane, flood, or earthquake. You will need a way to boil water, and something to boil the water in: A small camp stove and the fuel for it. Don't pack things you already have in your house, like blankets or canned food. Put the kit together yourself, you can find suggested lists online.

Grab and Go Bag

This is a small kit, in a backpack or a duffel bag that you can grab and take with you if you need to evacuate in a hurry. It should have some water in it, some cash, copies of important documents or computer files, spare shoes, socks, underwear, toothbrush... some food, a flashlight. Think about the very basics you would need.

Car Kit

Have basic car items like jumper cables, tire inflator, flares, tools. Have at least a gallon of water. A first aid kit, a good knife or multi tool, a fire extinguisher, items to keep you warm, a good LED flashlight or headlamp, an emergency charger for your cell. What you'll need will depend on where you are, and the season.

Personal/hiking kit

Check out Doug Ritter's suggestion at equipted to survive for this. If you're going hiking, you'll want some basic supplies like an emergency blanket, water purification, a good knife, a flashlight, a compas, 2 ways to start fire, a signaling device, water... If you're going with firends, one kit between everyone is not enough, you could be seperated.

Items outside of a kit

Have plenty of water, and switch it up yearly. Keep your cupboards well stocked, it's better than having a food stockpile that will go bad. Keep well stocked in candles. Have a flashlight in every bedroom.
