"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) from character Lazarus Long in Time Enough for Love

My mother-in-law has graciously put together emergency survival backpacks for my oldest three - so I can cross that off my list.
Here are some of my ideas for my own kids, ages 2, 4, 6, and 8.Good quality rubber boots for all of them. Great for muddy mornings when chicken chores need to be done.
Pocketknife
A homemade apron for my daughter to protect her clothing when working, in her favorite colors and motifs
Set of real walkie-talkies for the family
Stainless steel water bottles in fun prints according to individual taste
New child-size sleeping bags
Fishing equipment
Good life vests for boating and water sports
How-to hobby books
Scaled-down real tools
CDs or mp3s of scripture memory music (what good are sufficiency skills if you don't know the Word? LOL)
Sturdy digital camera for kids to do nature photography
Candle-making kit or supplies
Bike trailer for younger ones
Box of classic games: chess/checkers, bingo, dominoes, battleship, playing cards, and co-operative games
