Re-reading this long thread, James Mattis' post really struck home. Clean, potable water would be a top priority.
You are probably familiar with the myriad of devices from straws to cannisters and pumps, for purifying water. Most all of these work well.
There is a simpler technique, however, Betadine (tm) SOLUTION (NOT SCRUB; the scrub has soap in it) is available over the counter, and is a good wound cleanser (dilute to 1 part Betadine (tm) in 10 parts clean water).
You put 10 drops of Betadine (tm) SOLUTION in one liter of water. This kills bacteria, viruses, amoebas, and Giardia. It is widely used outside the US for water purification, but the manufacturer is not interested in selling small amounts for this purpose in the USA. It is easier than carrying around the Iodine crystals, and doubles as a wound disinfectant.

I'd have to have:
Busse Battle Mistress
Large Sebenza
REKAT Pioneer Drop Point.
The gun I'd take would be a .22 LR, for the same reasons (carry a bunch of ammo). Picking the "right" .22 would be difficult as i have over half a dozen of them.
I would likely end up with my Thompson Contender with a 14" barrel and 4X scope.
True it's a single shot, but it can pop an egg at 100 yards.
If I needed a bigger gun, well, I'd just have to take someone elses.

I have several knives in my long range/long time bugout pack..., but the two primary knives are a CS Trailmaster, and a Dozier Personal Companion..., along with a Leatherman PST.
I've been waiting for over two months, for a Mad Dog ATAK, which will replace the Trailmaster..., and I may swap in my Dozier Pro Guide for the Personal Companion.

Here are the results! As you can see, the Sebenza and SuperTools are the overwhelming vote getters. Leatherman far and away wins the "most votes for any manufacturer" award, with Chris Reeve second and Mad Dog third. Some very interesting results!

I could think of many other combinations that would appeal to me as much but these would do for a first round shot. It's been fun reading the many responses.
