the other two items should be a Cold steel shovel, modified to have 8" of real saw edge, and a highly modified Crunch multitool. when you know how to make EFFICIENT shelters, you dont need to cut, haul and process lots of wood, wasting all of that time and calories. These 2 tools very efficiently replace the belt knife, axe and saw that almost everyone "thinks" that they "need", saving one gear-pick. You dont need the ferrorod, cookpot, paracord, or gillnet, either. On vancouver Island, in patagonia, and in mongolia , they'd never have needed the sleeping bag, if they'd known anything. They left before it got to +10F. That's nothing, given all the clothing they get to take.
