My list

Assuming my nice bunker was already stocked with food, water and other essentials enough to survive the apocalyptic event my list would include:
There's probably more but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

- An old-fashioned treadle sewing machine in good working order plus spares and a repair manual
- Hand sewing supplies
- drop spindles
- a basic rigid heddle weaving loom and a book on how to use it
- a really good first aid kit plus reference books
- Soap making supplies and information on how to make more supplies once they run out.
- open pollinated heirloom seeds (not just food ones but also flax).
- seed tubers/growing tips not only for multiple varieties potatoes but oca, jerusalem artichoke and sweet potato as well. (I'm a great believer in food diversity).
- Self-sufficiency books.
- Books on simple pottery and kiln building.
- Instructions on how to build a rocket stove from scavenged materials
- A good selection of hand tools.
- A book on basketry
- Books on basic carpentry and building
There's probably more but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
