I love a list like this, complete and thought provoking. The problem is you couldn't fit all this stuff in a U-haul truck. If TSHTF you "may" try to take all or most of this stuff with you but soon enough you will be forced to leave it behind. Everyone should have a backpack that is light enough to carry for 10 miles a day or so with the essentials. If you need to decide in minutes/seconds what to take then at least you have the important things with you. If you live in tornado alley, flood plain or along the South and East coasts where they have hurricanes consider renting a small storage unit some distance away for your supplies. If you live outside of these areas perhaps a cache at an alternative site will work. It is not hard to imagine scenarios where it is necessary to "get out of Dodge" but it is next to impossible to know every possibility. But if the situation calls for a quick decision and moving fast on foot you need to be ready. And if the situation calls for long term survival at an alternative location you may well need all the things on the list. Somehow you need to prepare for both and everything in between.

Sun hat, hoodie, socks, shoes, blanket, toy, books. Infant acetominophen, ibuprofen (diversify sources! Think: Tylenol and Motrin massive recall.) Plan adult supplies to ensure it's safe for baby: baby-safe bug spray, suscreen, baby-appropriate adult foods - applesauce packs, pudding, oatmeal. Freeze dried yogurt melts are great for older kids. *Kashi Go Lean* is very high in protein and can be softened with formula/water. For babies <1: no fish, no honey, no nuts. Don't forget your good, all-terrain stroller. Don't have kids? Doesn't matter. You never know who you'll need to help, including taking on a baby.
