I got this pulley hanger and spray painted it white, and used this white parachute cord to give it more reach.
Works like a charm. I like to think of it as my "art" centerpiece.
A modified 3-day military pack list. I pulled out the military specific stuff and stripped out some of the heavier items.

In addition:
You should have the skills to use everything in your medical kit. I'd recommend at least taking an EMS course. Tourniquets may seem overkill to carry, but they are about the only thing that can save a life if the injury is bad enough to warrant them. I personally never carry less than 4 spread between a kit and my body.
Know how to navigate on-foot with a map. Know your pace count and how to make an azimuth/reverse azimuth. In a city you should actually have an easier time than in the woods, because you can use terrain association like a motherfucker.
You need good footwear for walking. I'd be wearing my my footwear so, that's why it's not in the packing list. Don't be a mall-ninja who buys surplus Army jungle boots, instead I'd recommend a tough modern hiking boot. I prefer Asolo Fugitives, they feel great, even after days spent walking in them.
Also, you need a vague idea of a plan. Even the best packed bag can only supply you for a short time if you don't have a plan. Have an idea of places you will want to go and the specific conditions you will encounter. In the event of a terrorist attack or large storm, you're going to want to attract attention to yourself and try and get evaced by government search and rescue. Riots (not protests like OWS, but real, no-shit riots)- you either want to hunker somewhere secure or get out of the area as quickly as possible. With that you're going to have to look at how likely it is that you can get out in a short time (getting off Manhattan in a timely manner during a riot seems like a lost cause to me, and you'll have to weather that particular ordeal somewhere secure.). In the event of something even more balls out crazy or long-term you are going to want to leave the island, and have a plan of where you want to go once off the island.
