I used to have a backpack ready to rock with survival crap in it. I put a US Military survival guide in there as well. The skills were probably useless without practice, but I figured it would be better than nothing.
I think if you're serious about this you should get a gun. I don't have one, but I think that would trump everything else in a SHTF scenario. In the States everybody has a gun so it kind of wipes out the advantage; however, in Canada if you had a gun it might give you a leg up.
