So I've always been into survival stuff. When I was a kid the only vacations we took were rustic camping, so I learned how to do a lot of stuff including how to properly poop in the woods. Then I spent a lot of time in the military "camping" in places like Afghanistan, so I kinda think about this stuff at times. 
1 Ruck Sack or large backpack
1 Thermal sleeping bag (this includes desert survival, desert gets ####### cold at night)
1 Pair of really good boots with foot powder and some insert replacements (this is so critical)
1 Back up survival kit you can buy off the shelf
2 water purifiers like Lifestraw™ or whatever. Get the steel ones not the plastic ones
1 guide to eating plants in nature
2 Tactical knives, one small knife sharpener
1 Survivor fishing pole and tackle kit
1 fire starter kit like this and matches, lots of them
1 Compass, preferably on a watch
2 pair of cargo pants (wear one)
1 utility belt to hold various things like a knife and maybe a sidearm
3 T shirts
1 fisherman's hat
1 Gortex overcoat with hood but it can't be bulky, buy to fit your pack since this is the most voluminous item you have to carry
1 hooded sweatshirt, something with a zipper preferable
1 thermal long-sleeved shirt
1 stocking hat/skull cap
1 pair of high end all-weather gloves (can't be too thick, probably gortex)
1 tube of ball cream
1 Poncho
Artificial lights are needed, solar charging lights the best but a few very small flashlights with a red insert cover would be nice. Lots of options out there but you don't want anything with batteries over a AA for the weight consideration
1 Tactical/portable bow and arrow kit
1 Tactical Shotgun with Scabbard (carried on outside of pack) If you are operating from a base you would bury your ammo in something airtight, if not maybe 50 rounds or so because of weight
1 Hand gun, probably a Gloc for weight consideration and functionality in all conditions
1 Copy of Juggs Magazine
-I would consider a small emergency radio depending on the situation
-I would consider underwear
A rifle would be nice but I think in any case, whether it's zombies, a natural disaster that turns people into animals, or Trump's people are looking for you the use of guns is probably not going to be your best option for sustenance. The guns are for self-preservation and emergency.
All that should fit in a ruck sack and you can configure the shotgun to be in the pack as well and you can have the sidearm in a cargo pocket. I did not list any food because generally carry food beyond snacks (jerky, smoked fish, etc) is too much weight.
Thoughts? What did I forget?
Shtick welcome.
