I would include 2 more items to the list.
1) Bicycle. Much better than walking when there is no more fuel for cars. You can go faster and farther than walking. A bike will greatly expand your area for foraging and hunting. You can also get out and assess local conditions. Bicycle charging kit can be attached to charge up personal electronic devices as your travel. It also provides you with excercise and entertainment and give you a sense of freedom compared to those walking or confined to one spot. You will need some supplies on hand to service the bike such as an air pump and patch kit.
2) Backpack. Lets you keep your hands free to carry other things. Useful when hunting, fishing, or foraging.

With a little mechanical know-how, a bike can also be used to run all sorts of handy machinery. Look up "pedal powered" online and you can find plans for bike-powered blenders, water pumps, sewing machines, woodworking tools, etc. Heck, I'm thinking of building a bike/lawn mower if I can scrounge the parts.
