If the shit hit the fan, what would be in your bug out bag?
StuUK:
A pack of wipies to clean up the shit that hit the fan....
Lightages:
If there was going to be any test equipment in my bug out bag, it would be a simple analog multi tester. It doesn't require any batteries to test voltage nor current. Beyond that? Test equipment is the last thing to worry about in the zombie apocalypse. You need to worry about ways of gathering, storing, and purifying water as #1. Shelter is tied with #1. Then food and fire. Everything else is just luxury.
HackedFridgeMagnet:
You'll need knowledge so take the internet.
CJay:
Hand crank dynamo, LED flashlight, LED light + cells to suit.
Leatherman wave or similar.
Water purifying tablets.
Condoms and socks.
Fish hooks.
Shovel.
Wire coathangers.
All housed in nested mess tins.
As many survival blankets as I could fit into the remaining space.
Maybe Yaesu FT-817 or similar QRP shack in a box, coils of wire to jury rig a dipole/longwire.

Agreed, having a solar panel and inverter kicking around wouldn't be a bad idea in my mind, not for apocalypse situations that likely won't happen, but general emergencies, natural disasters, or if you get caught out traveling and your car battery dies or something. (though a solar panel that could power a decent inverter would be somewhat large I think, hmm

in the UK you would get about 100W per sqr meter in direct sunlight. a hand cranked jenny might be better power to weight ratio.
