While you are in town, go by Bennett's Military surplus Downtown on 3rd street down by the convention center, They have paracord, esbit stoves etc reasonable.

JoeBob, to get out of town you might consider using Chenal or Cantrell to go west, but you have to remember nuclear one in russellville or Pine Bluff Arsenal to the southeast(most of the nerve gases in US are down there about 30 miles southeast of Little Rock.
