Agreed, Malu...

Where will you be surviving OP? Sometimes it is best to start by reading a military survival manual.

Remember, if you are fleeing an urban area don't listen to all of these rookies with the tent, tarp, sleeping bag, cooking kit, knife, saw, hatchet, water filter, and first aid kits...
Not to say I don't have them, but you won't be playing fucking dungeons and dragons when the shit goes down. All you will need is a good set of synthetic layers depending on your location and a good set of footwear. I always carry a knife.
Run at night and sleep by day. Supplies are everywhere and your situation will dictate what you need. You probably won't begin with cutting much wood and the weight of all of that extra shit will turn you into a crying pansy in a couple hours... You need to train to carry weight across distances. Walk a couple miles everyday with a 30lb pack and see how that goes...

Say, for example, I lived in NYC (glad I don't and I live in the wilderness of northern canada)... I would keep a daypack sized backpack with a water bottle, tazer or gun, synthetic layers for weather changes, a medium sized tarp, some strong nylon guy rope, a badass pair of nike or addidas running shoes, and about 5000 calories worth of junk food. You won't want to eat anything the first few days running, then cheetos and snickers are best.

Anything else will slow you down. Trust me. I don't want to list credentials but I have been on the fleeing side of a search before... I live for the blood of moose and salmon.
