One time long ago I read one of these threads and realized I had to get to my safe place. Why do all the work to set it up and not be able to get to it?
My vehicle has a second trunk space under the open one. I added an inflatable boat and all the gear to get me and the dog home. Causeways closed? Probably. River to cross. Tide maps, food and water for both of us. Life jackets and dry clothing are just the start of the gear packed.

I hope to stay in place but if I have to leave I have a 3 day pack. I can add on a larger one for 5-7 days and a long term rolling duffel if LONG term. Ocean shore is limiting in escape routes. Few duplicate items. Extra food, batteries, more rope etc is added right up to the small tent. Dog food is heavier than mine. Any suggestions?

I do4X a year updates to supplies.

Have you considered a native American travois (drag cart of lashed together wooden poles),
or a modified child's wagon similar to the bicycle "tow behind" ?
The wagon is ideal for level and asphalt surfaces; the travois can and has been used for rough and unfinished surfaces.
Selection of which woods to use for the travois might best be found in research at a library, or native American reservation.
This way the dog is responsible for transporting it's own supplies.
If travel is by waterway, don't forget to have a life preserver for your best friend/ nighttime sentry.("Woof")
