Then fleshing out the rest of the preparedness/survival plan from there.
Preparation really starts with what you carry on your person every day, pocket knife/pocket tool, CCW, cash, lighter ect.
Also how you are dressed, my dad always said, don't drive anywhere if you aren't ready to walk back, in WY when you are broke down 30 miles from anywhere you are walking. You know, just those few things are huge advantages over what settlers and pioneer types had. With such things you can handle a variety of situations and would be fine for a few days.
From there it goes to the "sissy gear" that makes long term living more comfortable, sleeping gear, shelter, water purifier and a good pack to carry it in along with what ever food and water you can aquire and store. When such gear and the skill to use it you could go on for a long time.
When you get right down to it, what you can store and how much food and water ahead of hunger and thirst you control, are what define the level of your survival.
I think you have to take care of your personal gear first, then flesh it out with food storage, means of production ect.
Teuf,
