The full extent of my gear is sort of extensive. My wife has an identical EDC and GHB. Her Bug-Out-Belt and Bug-Out-Bag are lighter weight versions of mine.
PERSONAL SURVIVAL KIT (PSK)
This is on my person nearly 100% of the time (except in the shower or while sleeping). If you asked me to empty my pockets right now this is what I'd pull out:
(1) Ferro Rod, LMF Army Model
(1) Flashlight, Leatherman Serac S3
(1) Battery, SureFire CR123
(1) Folding Blade Knife, Spyderco Delica4
(1) Swiss Army Knife, Victorinox Hiker
* I also routinely carry a handgun with at least (2) spare magazines.
EVERYDAY CARRY KIT(EDC)
This "pouch kit" goes with me everywhere. It sits on my desk at work, goes with me to job sites, etc. Basically, this small kit allows me to travel light and inconspicuously but with more advanced survival gear. My wife carries an ideal kit.

FIREARMS
My wife's Bug-Out Guns
Handgun = Glock 19 with Night Sights and (5) 15rd magazines with a total of 75rds of 9mm.
Rifle = Ruger 10/22 Stainless with Leupold 2-7x33mm Scope and (4) 10rd magazines.
My Bug-Out Guns (ONE of the following rifles)
Handgun = Ruger Mk3 22LR with (4) 10rd magazines.
Max Reliability Rifle Option = Arsenal SGL21 (Russian made 7.62x39mm AK47) and (9) 30rd magazines with a total of 270rds of 7.62x39mm.
Max Reliability with Common Ammo Rifle Option = Arsenal SLR-106FR (Bulgarian made 5.56x45mm AK101) and (9) 30rd magazines with a total of 270rds of 5.56x45mm.
Default Rifle Option = Colt 6520 (16" lightweight barreled AR15A2) and (13) 30rd magazines with a total of 364rds of 5.56x45mm.

NOTE: The rifle will be selected based upon the situation. My default is the Colt 6520, because its only 5.5 pounds and I can carry more ammo as a result.
