Ammo ... especially .22 and appropriate shotgun shells in several different size shots (buck & 4 or 6 for small game, maybe some bird shot too)
Rifle ... have calibers that are common and they will be like cash in your pocket (that gains value as time goes by)
Fish hooks and line ... especially small hooks that will work on smaller panfish that you can find in any body of water (what we call brim or sun-perch) protein is protein.
A Brita (or equal) water purifier that you can pour not so clean water in and get clean water out as well as a few gallons of bleach to do the same with.
Good knives, folders and belt plus a good machette or two as well as axes.
For longer term, some non-hybrid seed for gardens would be a nice thing to have ... I think they are called heirloom seeds ... of stuff you like to eat and that is know to grow where you will plan on being.
Cords, ropes, twine, string, baling wire, pliers, screw-drivers, hammers & nails, hand-tools.
A nice bit of fuel, both propane for cooking and light, and gas or diesel for the generator, 4-wheeler, car, truck or what have you that requires fuel.
Good footwear and outerwear especially if you live where weather is liable to get cold (the good footwear is applicable anywhere)
Just a few things off the top of my head.
... and OK, to satisfy those that think this way, lots of solid gold coins to buy stuff with.
I prefer to go ahead and spend the paper money now for what I would have to spend the gold on then.
In my life-style, pretty much everything I’ve listed above is stuff I will be using even if the TSdoesn’tHTF so I’m not wasting my money on a maybe.

Cotton socks.
Pour water through cotton socks before adding the bleach.
I question for you, sir, regarding this part of your post: “lots of solid gold coins to buy stuff with.” Just what are you going to buy with a gold coin that is worth maybe $1,500. A loaf of bread, quart of milk, etc.?
Don’t you think that a piece of silver is more, “negotiable” than a high-priced piece of gold?
