OK, this is going to look like a criticism but it isn't. 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.

Recommendations for babies: formula on-the-go packets (*Similac* makes them), basic baby bottle(s), no-spill water bottle adapter (*Gerber* makes a great one) or even a straw, diapers and wipes (disposables and cloth), portable infant foods (*Plum* screw-tops need no dishes, squirt it out onto the spoon, *Sprout* is a ziploc-type pouch that is BPA-free) pacifiers (a must!), bibs, some sort of infant carrier (*Bjorn* carrier, *Moby* wrap, *Kelty* backpack). 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.

Great list to work from. You achieved your goal of a master multi-user list. I just wanted to jot down a few other suggestions:
QuikClot
Copy of eyeglass RX
Epinephrine (EpiPen)
Orajel
BodyGlide (prevents blisters and chafing)
Thanks for all your research!

Sorry folks, I messed up the public link in the post today. It's fixed now! It was fine in yesterday's post but I apparently copied in the wrong link when I wrote this one.

That's a great list. I can't think of anything to add right now but I will review it further.
