This all reads a little bit useless, or worse. Dreaming of how you'll match up when the apocalypse comes is a cute hobby, but full scale survivalism is an all-consuming passion. Survivalists have a moral system and a politics that is corrosive to good social order. They're nuts, scheming on how much better they'll do when choices are not complicated and everything comes down to life or death.
One thing that's clear about survival after civilizational collapse is that few people will make it as isolated mountain man types. All of the skills and the equipment this guy covers in 43 pages (I pasted it into Word; it's that long) will be good for extending one's life expectancy from a few hours out to a few years, possibly long enough to reproduce, if one's style is to be a family alone in a shack on a ridge. What will be much more typical is that people will bond together and form miniature societies, whose main functions are mutual self-protection and food production, and they will impose rules and order upon their members. It will be immeasurably less free and democratic than American society is now, but that's how the real survivors will survive. Think medieval Europe, thousands of fortified manors centered on serfs, priests, and men-at-arms.
I'd much rather pour my creative energies into making a community that works for more things than raw survival. Like the one I live in right now.
