MR2:
The reason for the bugout is irrelevant. The point was the weapons selection, and secondarily, the bugout bags.
Living that close to the Interstate would cause serious bugout planning. Glad that you have discussed it.
sterin, good packing list, thanks.

Probably take my SAS Survival Handbook by John Wiseman since I only have limited knowledge from the Boyscouts.

I would not take the shotgun afoot except for hunting. While great in the static defense role, the weight of the ammo and limited range make it of questionable value. Just the 40 rounds you listed adds nearly 4 more pounds.
Just my .02, YMMV.
