Don't get me wrong. I probably have most of what you have in your list. But it's packed in a full sized backpack behind my seat along with several mountain house meals for an extended trip. I also have a large Plano storage box with lots of side of the road camping gear in the back of my truck under my Bakflip cover should the need arise. One of the things I started doing is something I saw in a video a while back. The woman was solo camping in the woods. She had full sized 75L backpack but when she got to her sight she opened the front of the large backpack and inside she had a smaller 25L pack with all trail essentials and took off exploring with it. In her larger pack she had everything she would need for making camp. Tarps, tent, Axe, etc.. If I was in a situation where I could get home in a day or two I would take out the smaller pack and just leave the bigger one in the truck. I wouldn't need stuff for extended camping when I could spend the night against a tree or just laying against my pack. Remember this stuff is supposed to be used just to get you home. If you don't need it don't burden yourself with it. When talking about a INCH (I'm Never Coming Home) pack if you should live in a city and are trying to get out than that's a totally different subject with lots of other things to take into consideration. Sorry to carry on just loving talking about this stuff. If you ever want to read a good book read https://www.amazon.com/dp/069267280X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title guy is pretty good. He makes his living dealing with all types of scenarios and he spells them out in this book. If you want something to really chill your bones read the follow up, The Psychology of Survival. In the beginning he discusses real survival in past time and other countries during times of total famine and starvation and what some people did to survive. Really chilling shit.
