What are the most important items to Cache for short term survival?  What about long term Caching? Here are my two lists for both.

Short term survival items:

1. fire starting kit
2. LED flashlight/batteries
3. 550 para-cord
4. multi-tool
5. self defense weapon and hunting tools
6. High energy food pack (MRE’s, freeze dried, energy bars)
7. water filter
8. tent or a tarp
9. sleeping bag
10. Basic first aid kit

Long term survival items

1. Seeds for growing food
2. Salt Blocks will attract animals to hunt for food
3. .22 ammo and lots of it.  I've seen suggestions of at least 5000 rounds
4. A Henry AR-7 rifle
5. A good knife and a sharpening stone
6. Gold, gems, something to trade.  Money may be worthless
7. Shelter
8. Water source
9. Prescription medicines
10. Family 

What would you put on your list?
