Those of us with small SUVs can only carry so much, this is why it makes sense to some of us to keep what's needed and lose what's not.
Like the OP, I too have pared down my numbers to focus on what is actually 'needed' if 'it' hits the fan. Having 2 complete ARs (or other primary rifle of choice) is a minimum and should be basically the same, add in a couple of your favorite handguns (1911s) and that should be a good to-go package. Focus the rest of your 'gun money' on ammo.
Of course it may be a good idea to have a few 'barter' weapons, and extra ammo, since the dollar will be worthless. :eek:
