The little things in life.
This post is meant for all the little things people tend to forget about while dealing with zombies. It can pretain to survival, keeping moral up, anything really.
An example is tea and sugar packets. Adding flavouring to drinks and food when supplies are limited is a great way to give yourself an extra boost. Seriously. Try hiking with nothing but plain water to drink. Sure it feels good but you want some taste. Add an instant tea packet and its a huge mental boost and lightens things up.

it will be things you dont realize you miss until you dont have it any more... coffee, tea, toilet paper, soap, cigarettes
eventually, i should think, you'd forget about the niceties of life, and begin to focus on survival...but who knows

Necessities vs nicetities:
Sling-shots & pellets or good stones: good shot will kill zombies, small game and help fight off marauders
High powered air gun - see above when filled with sand or small rocks
sharp "rambo" knife: no explaination needed
cloth "toilet paper": duh (btw, bandanas are PERFECT for this)
Bandanas - face protection, head protection, sweat band, dog collar, bite-down during emergency surgery, tourniquet, field dressing.
iodine tablets: sparingly used for treating water & so you don't get goiter (yeah, I am serious)
salt cakes (yeah, the kind the animals lick)
Hard candy MINTS - helps keep you alert and awake
fire-starter FLINT
All purpose poncho with multiple grommets so you can use it as a tent as well as rain protection (black or olive)
Light-weight nylon ropes in multiple thicknesses - at LEAST 20 feet each
space blankets - buy at least 12 - light weight, multi-purpose easy to carry
General First Aid Kit - waterproof bandaids, anti-bacterial creme (iodine from above), crazy glue, tongue depressors, elastic bandage, pepto, asprin/non-asprin, cough medicine + field surgical kit (a good disecting kit with a straight razor and scapels will do - make sure to add sutures, needles or crazy glue and duct tape/electrical tape)
Cloth diapers - good for any use including wound dressings
Binoculars and signal mirror (inside of a soda can will do)
Boy Scout Handbook - pocket size & Herbal/Plant Handbook (pocket size)
Small candles - buy them in bulk like tea candle size - warmth, small cooking, etc
Wooden matches and cotton balls - seal in zip locks to keep water proof
1 light weight pack pack per person with your bug-out items - always packed and ready to go
Dried foods - lighter weight than canned goods: fruits, nuts, soups, coffee, tea, meat, jerky, veggies, rice, beans, oatmeal, cream of wheat, home-made granola, etc. - does not have to be the expensive kind, just what you find in the store. You are going to run out of food before 20 years comes, believe me.
LOTS of zip lock bags & tin foil
General vegetable seeds - can be grown in buckets and containers
Good quality back back that you have tried on and know fits you and that you'd be willing to carry your "life" in
T-shirts, light weight jeans, SOCKS, good hiking boots, undies (optional), water-proof light weight wind-breaker jacket
Dynamo/solar radio-light (get the combo kind)
Dynamo/solar flashlights and lanterns
At least 1 direct crank Dynamo generator for small DC electronics - cell phone if they are working, laptop, smart phone, GPS, etc (they sell on ebay for about $25)
Vasoline - Big Jar - helps with sunburn, wind burn, temp water proof leather including boots, rust preventer on tools
1 small basic handtool kit - screwdriver, hammer, etc.
Collapsable Water carrier usually 2.5 or 5 gal
Several 5 gallon bucket with rubber seal and lock to store everything in and keep moisture safe. Can also double as a latrine (toilet), sink, etc. once you have set up camp.
Dogs - protection (early warning system), hunting and emergency fresh meat
This list will get you started - remember, keeping a low profile and silence gives you a better chance of survival

I also thought of medicine. Like not life saving medicine but I have some allergies during spring/summer that are extremlly irritating. Watery/itchy eyes, sneezing, just feeling down. That would be a serious drawback.
