Everyone's survival supplies are going to be different depending on the scenario. Here's my scenario for this list:
Complete, long-term collapse of society. Bug out to mountains. 5 - 6,000 ft elevation. Temperate climate. Not super cold. Some snow in the winter, but not much. This list is for 1 person, but it is also assuming that this person may add numbers to his group. So for more people, just multiply the items or get larger items when necessary. Doesn't take into account the needs of females, infants, elderly, or handicapped people. Be sure to add your medications to this list if you have any. Clothes are assumed and not listed, except for some accessory type clothes. Some of the items are actually lists within a list, like the first aid kit, tool set, or doctor's toolbag, etc. I would be bugging out with this stuff, so large vehicles and trailers are valuable, but there is an option of taking multiple trips or pre-storing this stuff in your bug-out location. For a better visual of this list, you can watch this survival supplies video.

Nothing more I can think of is really worth bringing. Just go back and double up on the most important items, barter items, and items most likely to break. Or add major infrastructure facilities/equipment/materials, like refinery equipment, large radio towers, storage warehouses, backhoes, bulldozers, wood pallets, etc, but this is really the kind of stuff you would need to have at your bug out location beforehand.
Here are some helpful questions to consider in creating your own list:
How long will it last?
Can you make it instead?
Can you scavenge it instead?
Is it a need or want?
Is there a better alternative?
What is the value/space ratio? (flint high value, small space; wood stove mid-high value, large space)
Is there a manual and a powered version of it? If so, get both, as long as you can power it.
Stuff you don't need:
gas stove
regular batteries (Except for the ones that you already happen to have at home. You can bring those.)
matches (Likewise, you can bring whatever you happen to have at home.)
water stored at home (since you’ll be bugging out, but you might want to do it as a favor for a neighbor)
