I'd go with collapsible bottles for water and a small filter system (katadyn I like a lot) instead of 3 pre-filled bottles.
A small mirror is great for signaling and also hygiene or inspection of injuries/etc.
Extra batteries for any electronics.
Wet Wipes - better than TP and can get wet.
Replace those matches with waterproof camping matches.
Ditch the firestart log and carry around a baggie of dryer lint or some camping firestarting stuff. Also you could do a small prescription bottle full of cotton balls covered in vaseline.
Sunscreen and bugspray depending on your area.
Survival blanket (mylar)
Fresnel magnifier (can also be used for firestarting)
That's what I got off of the top of my head.
Edit:
Don't forget some kind of pain relief, tylenol and ibuprophin would do the trick.
Surgical face mask.
pair of earplugsWTB: multiautomatic ghost gun with a .30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. Must include shoulder thing that goes up.

Add a Magnesium Firestarter
Get some snare wire
Add a compass to go with the map
Add a pair of lightweight trousers
Anything for simple water purification?
I'd really boost the contents of your first Aid supplies to handle more serious injuries like broken bones, headaches, trauma, and dislocations. Add a small snakebite kit as well.
BTW, a good place to get small containers of aspirin, q-tips, etc is in the "samples" section of your grocery store.sigpic

I have a few trick candles coming in the mail that i got off ebay for 99 cents free shipping. Good for fire starting
Do you have a shelter? Such as a tarp or military poncho that can be made into a emergency tent?
I myself am probably going to get what is called a woobie blanketActs 2:38Comment

+1 on the magnesium firestarter.
For my tastes I'd ditch:
the firelog
the "cheap" flashlights
the matches
will you be carrying more than the handgun? If not, then the .223 and 22lr ammo are just dead weight
and add:
some sort of tinder/firestarting material akin to cotton balls/vaseline or even dryer lint (as was stated before)
get another mag light (same batteries, same operation make more sense to me, plus more reliable than "cheap" stuff in my experience)
a couple extra batteries
another pair of socks
a long sleeve shirt
more for the first aid kit if you can (bandages, bandaids, antibiotics, antiseptics, painkillers, superglue, etc)
that's what I'd do at least, but different people have different priorities...I think the dryer lint instead of firelog (big time weight savings), extra batteries, and the fleshing out the first aid kit are definitely things to consider though.
Good start otherwise!Comment
