I have stripped my kit down over the years and basically what I need is my bacpack with 3changes of clothes, my boots, knife, some line and a couple fish hooks and a couple books of matches to survive comfortably for quite a while.
The less I have, the more mobile and concealable I am and if it comes down to an SHTF situation that is what I want.
