In reply to dustin. In an urban area a rifle will be hard to come into play unless you carry it in your hands. Not a good idea in an urban environment. Handgun much better choice.

mylar survival blanket. when folded for packing, they each occupy about the same amount of space as an empty wallet. when unfolded for use, one could easily be the deciding factor when facing extreme weather. in cold, they’ll preserve about 98% of the body heat lost to expiration, preventing hypothermia in freezing temperatures. they can provide protection from heat as well, a use that goes overlooked.

i’ve seen them for anywhere from 4/$1 to $1/unit in stores, and even found them being freely distributed.

get yourself a hi end hammock. I use a clark nx 270 model and sleep very well at 63 yrs of age. in the morning I roll out with no aches, pains, bug bites or wet clothing. all up with tarp over and titanium flyz and biners I have about 4.5 lbs to tote. think quality gear and lightweight to be mobile like the grey man philosophy.

On the subject of entering and getting out of buildings, I’d get a couple of those door stoppers (Those little wedges). They sell them at Dollar Tree along with cheap string (3 Packs of colored twine), wire and hairbands which are all useful to tie, bind or secure a door or tie things together or even rig a trip line.
In an urban environment, a few tools might be helpful to remove screws and nuts or to repair something. And maybe some penetrating oil to loosen rusty bolts.
I didn’t notice anything about cooking. Seems like a small cook kit would be a necessity.
