Umm...do what the other people here suggested, and go to the links they provided. That's all I can say. There will be so much information it'll almost drive you mad but hopefully you'll get a ton of useful ideas.

The most important thing (what I did, anyway) is to make a list with the budget you have. From there decide what you think you need to buy based on where you live, interact with others, and work. Then just kind of go from there.

Reading materials on preparedness and survival help GREATLY. They can give you a ton of ideas on everything from building a pocket-sized survival kit from what kind of small equipment you should carry from day to day. Just check out your local library or bookstore, there's a ton of information there. That's what I do!

And welcome, BTW!
