I put in a few of those cheap, light emergency blankets, a handful of clothespins and some hunter orange yarn. You can make a quick shelter, hudle in the blankets, use them for signaling, collecting dew, etc. The yarn not only makes lightweight shelter ties, snares, alarms, etc., but my husband and I have an agreement that cutting 1/2” pieces of yarn and dropping them on the ground marks our trail if we get separated. Plus, lots of sour candy for quick energy and thirst suppression.

If you plan on being anywhere near the sunshine belt, a couple big bottles of generic sunscreen would help out - assuming that if the SHTF you’d be outside alot more than normal.

Might want to throw in one of those magnesium fire starter blocks (shave magnesium and then run a knife down the flint to generate sparks). You can pick them up at Walmart.
