What people need the most is basic camping skills and hunting skills to survive a SHTF situation.
All that mess in your list will last you a few days, especially if your talking about taking care of a large family.
So I think you should put at the very top of that list..and list it as priority first..are hunting skills, weaving and building skills, recognize natural resources to make tools, shelter,clothing, how to find water even in a desert setting, find food etc etc.
Master those skills and you wont need a single thing from that list.
Cheers!!!!

Hi Northern Raider. That's a good list you presented.
I have a problem with two things on the list.
What is Fairy Liquid and what are Star Drops?
I'm from the deep south and have never heard of either of these.
Have traveled extensively in the US and abroad and never ran across those two products.
Please enlighten.
Thanks

I cannot emphasize how critical it is to stock up on dehydrated water.
It is in extremely short supply right now although there are a few cases to be had if you look hard enough.
Liquid water is heavy and hard to transport. With dehydrated water you can store literally thousands of gallons in a small area.
To use it you just add one gallon of fresh water to the dehydrated water and Voila! you have a gallon of fresh drinking water.
I can't believe more people aren't mentioning this.
