greeneyes:" Don’t we have a bug out thread?
Don’t forget alternative power supplies..
i.e. Batteries, portable AC battery supplies other DC battery needs!"

No, unfortunately, we don't have a "bug-out thread",
because each individual has individual needs, prescriptive medications, water, food, refrigeration, wound medications, tools, etc,. etc.. which are unique to them.
Water :In general, an average one gallon of water weighs #8 pounds each,..
much better to have a good, reliable water filter that you are familiar with, and in which you are willing to bet your health if you are moving around.
Shelter : , knowing how to use various materials to establish a weather resistant domicile to protect from cold, winds, rain, or snow.
Food : dehydrated food is good, flash frozen is even better nutritionally, but is bulkier where space is a consideration.
Better to have seeds which are easier to transport, but require time and patience,
, fertilizer, access to water in order to grow your own food,;
have both hybrids for food production, and heirlooms for historical persistence to disease,
and for food reliability and 'open pollenation', heirlooms are the best and remaining true to seed.
Medications : vary individually, but be most mindful of those medications which require refrigeration (electricity) or understand "swamp cooler", or "spring house".
or, those which require battery system, solar collectors, wind tunnel generators, etc.
Tools : hand tools, wrench, pliers, hammer, axe, knife, lineman tools, etc., etc.
And that is just the start ....depending on your needs, and comfort ! !
