Then work your way up to a week, two weeks, a month, etc. Accumulate food, water, security measures first then worry about comms, advanced medical supplies, and everything else that is a survival aid but not necessarily an essential. When it comes to food, if you do decide to stock up on MRE's avoid the cheese spread.
