Food water shelter defense and mad skills will be more important IMO. Unless it's fast zombies -} then we're screwed......
IMO you should have everything on hand but the american dollar. an alternate currency, a 3-6 month stock of supplies (at least), and a way to defend yourself and your family (including your possessions that are keeping those people alive) should you HAVE to. This includes a way to make your property self sufficient, water, heat, food... all needed if SHTF. And those without, will certainly be looking for yours at about 2-4am.
