Focus more on maintaining good relations with friends, nieghbor's, and family, and don't worry about the lethal efficiency of self defense weapons and utility tools, domestic supplies, and sporting goods merchandise, since the worst case scenario, should be the only scenario, to require an option of last resort.
Removing yourself from a hazardous situation is not going to be nearly as effective and simple as avoiding a hazardous situation all together, and denying opportunities for someone too do you harm, is easier and safer than defending yourself after the fact.
A job that required me to carry a sidearm while on shift made the legal carry and concealment of that weapon a requirement for working on that job, but on the few occasions in which I had to defend myself from an attack off duty, I learned that drawing that weapon, acquiring the target, disengaging the safety, and squeezing the trigger, took about 6 seconds longer than the 1/4 second I had available to me to do all that stuff, where the key ring I already had in my hand, with all the keys on it, proved an effective distraction when driven into the eye or mouth, that gave me valuable seconds to decide to disable my attackers, or remove myself from that situation and contact authorities in safety.
I've had experience in staying alive and ending lives on deployments, with ground combat engagement being my MOS (Military Occupational Specialty), I have learned to use the simple, least complicated means of simultaneously disarming and disemboweling enemy combatants when ammunition was expended or magazines needed replacement, in the same fluid movements that keep me out of thier line of fire or path of thier edged weopons. The simple applications of quick, efficient movement and intent, are always the most effective and easy to apply, and have the best results for survival. The tools you use everyday in your workplace or at home for cooking, cleaning, and basic maintenance of yard and home, are the tools you have the most familiarity and experience with handling, and those are the ones that should be the most readily available in any given situation you are in at home or at work, and should be used if you have to defend your life against an attacker.
It's like like my great grandmother always used to say, "A bird in the hand, is worth three in the bush!", and is true of everyday life. and upon failure to avoid the situation that puts you in harm's way, whatever you got in your hand is guaranteed to be more effective, than something unfamiliar and devastatingly lethal, that will take more time than you have available to you, to pull out and use on a surprise attacker.
That being, if the attacker is unkind enough to step back and give you the time to hurriedly pull out a deadly "unfamiliar" weapon too sever one of your own finger's🤬, or shoot yourself🤯 in panic😳 driven🥺 haste⚕️ makes🤕 waste👻, while your assailant goes 👉😅😂🤣🤑😘🌹💸👈, for your trouble⚰️.

What kind of survival are you talking about? Are you talking about protection or are you talking about when your out in the woods? If your out in the woods you need to figure out what animals are going to be around i. e. bear and have a high enough caliber gun, preferablly handgun (for emergencies when you don't have a rifle or what have you with you) that will stop them.

If your talking within a city, that is a different story. You need to figure out what the laws are in your state, but more then likely you will want a 9mm which will be easy to handle, hollow points (they expand in the body and do more damage with less chance of them exiting and hurting some one else), also train to use it and specifically do a double tap i. e. two quick consecutive shots to the main body mass (the double strike causes a shockwave effect that increase over all damage done).

For unarmed, knives work, but also a hard blunt object like a combat pen can also work and be unassuming and is likely going to cause fewer problems with the police, pepper spray/mace (don't use tasers, they are not as effective) and things of that nature.

I like knives for close range.

It sounds like we're talking various survival weaponry and not necessarily actual survival gear. So I'm running with what I'd want as a loadout during a zombie apocalypse.

Long Range:
- Rifle (whatever I can find/one that is easiest for me to maintain/find ammo for)
- Bow and arrow (hunting/quieter weapon)

Mid-Range:
- Machete x2 (for utility and combat)
- staff/long straight stick (utility mostly, could fashion into a spear or fishing rod, too)
- handgun (optional)

Short Range:
- Pocket knife (maybe two)
- Push knife (somewhere I can easily grab if I'm restrained - will have to figure out where this might be)

Fishing and trapping stuff, a knife and something that keeps rain off from you.
If you insist on taking that stupid gun with you that others propose: once you have missed all your shots, and no bullets are left: you can still use it as a tent pole.

Survival how? Like wilderness or day to day protection?
You said you have knives so I’m assuming you mean wilderness but if you meant day to day I’d ditch the knives and just get a tiny hand gun. I don’t know much about them but that’s what I’d do

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I have a couple combat tomahawks. they are decent tools and lethal

The wilderness doesn't give a shit what sex you are, it kills us all the same if we get careless. Don't worry if any particular item is for women or not just take it but I'd say be careful not to overburden yourself.
