Because I drive into so many remote locations, I have a survival kit in the car that includes food, supplies and gear for several days.

One of the best things to have in your survival kit (even in the car) is a jar of peanut butter. The salt, fat, protein content is excellent for survival and will keep you nourished for days. Plus, it doesn't go bad.

Coyote, we're seeing eye to eye on a few things. Makes me wonder if the apocalypse is near.
Pictures:
Note that the flashlights, FA kit, and fire extinguisher are on top. Wet wipes are up there as well.
If you de-package some of the food and other items, you'll have even more room in here for clothes. I might even ditch one of the jugs of water, though I'm not recommending it.

Food items. Peanut butter, scooby snacks, can opener, bowls, etc.

You know, boating can make a person think along these terms, too. A good "abandon ship" kit is essential for offshore travel. Most of my aquatic meanderings are in the Chesapeake Bay, so I limit my stuff to a damn good set of PFDs. But, I've seen some really well thought-out grab and go kits for use when the ship is going down. Might be worth some research since you're into this sort of thing.
Here's a good page on "ditch bags:"

Your kit looks very nice and thorough. I know there is an endless list of things people could recommend, however, how about a signal mirror, some type of signal/safety flare, and how about some glow sticks (like the ones we use around halloween) incase we are not sure of a gas leak, and cannot use any item which may produce a spark (flashlight, radio, etc...)?
