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.

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.

No piss taken. But as LordEden pointed out, produce takes time to produce. And again as LE stated, there's a limited growing season making it necessary to stock pile goods for the winter, which would give you a stock pile for people to steal.
I'll also highlight the fact that people lie, cheat, steal and murder now, when they have an option. What will they do when they think they have no options? I'm sure there will be groups of peaceful people who band together and form agrarian groups, but there will also be groups who'd rather take what others have, than make their own. Just sayin'. When the shit hits the fan, all bets are off and if you aren't prepared to defend what is yours, you will loose it.
Really, I wish more people thought like you, nice and peaceful. But I've witnessed, up close and personal, the riots, looting and aggression of desperate and really pissed-off people. It's a vivid reminder that we're only one Chromosome away from Ape with a far worse attitude.
Fishing pole is a good idea though, as long as you have the ocean, a big lake or river near by.

Oh, and personally I just couldn't go vegan it's not in my nature. I need to kill things and eat them to feel superior.
