Survival Survey: What survival gear would you buy with an extra $500?

I’ve been browsing through the enormous selection of survival and emergency supplies and resources at Amazon and have filled up quite a few pages in my Amazon store with some good choices. 

Imagine that you have an extra $500 to further your preparations for the future.  How would you spend it?  Use the prices at Amazon as a guide, since they tend to be fairly competitive, and you can get as many items as you like as long as you don’t spend more than $500.  So, what would you get?
