Superb list but alcohol and cigs (I would recommend tobacco and rolls though) need to be higher up.  Alcohol can be used as disinfectant and you can some vehicles on it.  As well, these are the 2 best bartering items, people will always be needing tobacco and alcohol.  Having a large wagon you can tow behind your vehicle is necessary too.  Also have as many 2by4's as you can.  You're going to have to fortify your residence if the time comes.

Super glue and boot/shoe repair kits should be on the list as well.

Guidelines on all edible plants in your location is a must too.

 

Rat/mouse traps are a must too since they'll be on of your biggest enemies and when caught are edible.  Also you must learn how to best clean all types of animals with birds and fish the 2 most important.  You don't want to waste an ounce of meat. 

I also think sewing kit/supplies and wool need to be higher on the list.

Slingshots. Don't forget to stockpile those slingshots fellas.

Hunting small animals as well as something that everyone can practice/play with in their free time.  Little boys love slingshots and when they get good enough they'll be able to hunt small animals. Also, ammo (small rocks) will never be a shortage to find and reuse.
