I can get some here, and a little there, but where are your sources for your survival gear? Is there a "Super Survival Store" of sorts that has the best selection and prices?

Negative. There is no ONE do it/sell it all store. A lot of times more sophisticated stores won;t carry the cheap basics. But to name a few:
www.tadgear.com - I don't like them (personal experience) but they have great selection of stuff
www.rei.com - great selection but pricey
www.countycomm.com - they carry a wide selection of supplies, good prices but they don't get to deep into survival

I'm sure guys will recommend other stuff. This board doesn't have trade forum but other boards do. So... Check there.

I understand where you are comming from as far as asking for one superstore. Whenever I replenish my kit I always get pissed off that I have to order supplies from multiple sources which makes my shipping charges crazy.

If you have not done so, check out Doug's listings of retail supply companies, it is a wealth of information.

Nice. No prices or "add to cart" buttons though, darn it.

Yeah, the site is only a few days old. Prices should be up soon from my understanding.

Also try www.campmor.com www.basegear.com, www.cabelas.com. I have recently done business with all three without a problem. Gander Mountain is a local (chain) store that is pretty good. Also you local hiking, climbing and canoe store is a good place to shop. Lightweight backpacking is pretty close to survival gear. Also check your local gun shop they often have useful stuff.

I had a bad experience with botach. I don't remommend them
