Some baofeng radios all tuned to the same channel and some large whip antennas for them would be a nice addition. Normally I detest Chinese stuff, but these are cheap as chips and they work.
Please get yourself a paper copy of "Where There Is No Doctor" and load up on medical supplies. Especially iodine and isopropyl alcohol, as they will have great trade value in addition to great value for first aid.
A pile (6 or more) of combat tourniquets, a bunch of Quik Clot, reams of gauze, some airways, the ampules of saline for washing out wounds and eyes, and a pile of the strongest pain killers you can find. Bayer has some very strong aspirin that is sold now (with caffeine). It's basically like my old favorite "Pain Aid" (which is amazing). Also get yourself some Alleve as well, as that has different properties. No Tylenol, please. It fucks over the liver. Speaking of fucking over the liver, buying a couple cases of Everclear right now is a very good idea. Excellent trade value, good for cleaning things, and could even be used to run an engine.
I should add something important. You mentioned paper maps. I am very happy that your mind is going in this direction.
All of those people who you would like to not die should be issued with a Cammenga Compass, in addition to the map. And be taught to use it, and to "dead reckon". It will be how they make it back to you. Maktub. Amen.
Head on swivel. Stay out of public places. Gas up the truck asap and keep it topped off. Water, food and cash on hand. Shit could get really weird.
Well done.
