While I was home I checked out the warehouse. Almost everything was just fine. A medium (not dripping) coat of oil has kept things just fine except one piece on one gun. The suboptimal piece of metal was given some TLC, oiled up and put away.
Last time I was home I had to dig all around to find mags, ammo, etc for the weapons I carry/ use while home. I decided to take an ammo container and put the stuff I want while home in it. The contents were 3 glock mags, an IWB holster, an OWB kydex holster, 2 boxes of 9mm JHP, 4 rifle mags and a few hundred rounds of ammo. It worked perfectly. I grabbed a Glock and the box and was good to go. When we went on a longer trip I loaded up a couple mags and grabbed the rifle.
I noticed that I need to add a knife to the box. Not having a normal EDC knife was kind of annoying. Sticking a knife in there would let me have one here and just grab it with the other stuff would be convenient.
If you have a cache or keep some guns with a friend or whatever it might be a good idea to put the stuff you would want to pull out first thing in a convenient and accessible location.

I'd add an empty canteen as well, never can have too much water. Canteen cup, Canteen Shop stove and cover won't add much bulk at all.
Whenever we moved we would have our "#1 Box" and this was a "we pack it, we carry it" affair... it had things like an alarm clock, coffee maker, toiletries, etc. Effectively the box was a "bare essentials" kit that we could use in the event that the rest of our shipment was delayed or if we had to come up with alternate accommodations for whatever reason. Same principle here.
It is too easy to think that if the balloon goes up life with be so dramatically different we will all change our habits, fears, motivators, etc. I don't think it will be the case - it will simply be a radical change to our external world somehow, but we will be the same people at the core. Build the habits and skills now - they will need to be instinctual when you don't have the luxury of planning everything out.
Good advice. I've got one ammo can that has a little bit of everything in it, so no matter which gun I grab I got what I need, including a dozen loaded stripper clips for my Russkies. Oh, and a nice wipe down with Hoppes gun oil kept my guns rust free even stored outside in my old work shop in the humid, salty S. Texas air. Now they live in air conditioned comfort : )
