On the seeds front, you really have to be practicing growing food from seed for several years before depending on them for basic caloric needs - after a few years of providing a fraction of our household calories on the property I can see the pitfalls, effort and planting diversity needed were we to need to scale it to that level. The previous me would have had some seeds and a dream, and have died real quick. Even now I give myself 50/50 that water, weather, pests, poor soil, or something unexpected would lead to starvation.

Yes we provide a few hundred annual calories from seed. Not nearly enough to survive. But hopefully enough to learn from while foraging or enough to link up with actual experts who might just be lacking in seeds or labor.
These items aren’t in my earthquake bag (I have enough energy bars to last until the National Guard shows up). Instead these are for a Carrington Event type of solar storm, civil war or some sort of other long-term disaster.
