Well let me first say welcome aboard!! This site has lots of good information that you will be able to use. This is not something that will happen overnight it is a quest of a lifetime. For the same reason that not everyone drives the same kind of car or wears the same style of clothing EDC (everyday carry) items will vary greatly with circumstance, finances, locality and taste.
If you have not already done so go to the Website and read or at least skim the articles. Look at what is commonly carried for EDC type of stuff and then blend it to your situation.
Start simple then build on that. Start with your EDC put some Band-Aids in your wallet, carry a SAK(Swiss Army Knife), a small flashlight and a way to build a fire (lighter etc.) Get used to what you are carrying use it become familiar with it than build on that.
Do outside reading on First Aid, Orienteering (Map & Compass usage), Survival, and common tool usage (to include knife, hatchet, saw etc.)
Don?t try to prepare for TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) just work toward being comfortable during the next power outage, blizzard or other ?normal? type of everyday things.
Now I will give you at least one opinion on several of your questions there will be others who will add their ideas or clarify some of what I am not clear on.
