A fishing rod, a spear and a bible.
Men are not wild beasts. If it all breaks down I doubt man will forget every advantage he has over dumb animals straight away.
A fishing rod is the best and simplest method of catching food that I know how to use.
A spear will be sufficient defence against wild beasts in most cases.
A bible (since I cant carry around lots of books) because knowledge, the ability to share knowledge and create communal means of production and co-operation, is the most powerful weapon man has ever had, is the one power that made man in the first place the most feared predator in the history of earth.
I would not seek a gun to defend myself from other man. Does not he who live by the sword die by the sword?
You are more likely to be safe from other men by having (1 - no great surplus they can steal and 2 - posing no aggressive threat to them) than by being armed to the teeth.

A break barrel .177 will make for some quick and easy Dog Tacos and Cat casserole.

I am genuinely not trying to take the piss... but you really seem to be overlooking the obvious. You CAN and grow vegtables and other crops before you have to go around shooting peoples pet dogs with a rifle.
