OK, HOPEFULLY my pack will be here Wednesday or Thursday. Here is a list I've made up of what it's gonna contain (or would like for it to contain). Please feel free to add anything you think I've forgot.

1. Water (2 USGI quart canteens/W cups) Eventually 2 40oz bottles and a 3 lit bladder.
2. 7 strand flexible plastic coated wire (30 ft spool)
3. Emergency candle in a round (2X1 inch tin)
4. Knives. I'm thinking about one of my swamp wardens, along with a larger fixed blade and Lansky carbide/diamond sharpener. And I am thinking about tossing in my Mora "Light my Fire" knife with the built in Ferro rod in the bottom for a "Just in case". **
5. P51 can opener (also a p38)
6. Fire Kit(wetfire and DT's fire kit W/ferro rod and magnesium rod)
6. FAK including a CAT
7. 2 all weather emergency blankets W built in hood and hand pockets
8. Ponchos (eventually when I can find them!) to include liners depending on weather conditions/time of the year.
9. 550 cord
10. "Survival" whistle
11. Gloves
12. AA LED flashlight PLUS my headlamp and spare batteries http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-HL2O-Ozark-Trail-LED-Flashlight-Headlamp-220-Lumens/35762496 )
13. IF I HAVE ROOM, a USGI WWII 2 section mess kit, the oblong one with spoon, and knife stowed inside.

Eventually a tarp I think. http://www.austinkayak.com/products/4783/Kelty-Noahs-Tarp-9-Shelter-9-x-9.html

** I'm thinking about the 911 or my Tali-Whacker for the larger knife, strapped to the outside of the pack. The Tali is the only reasonable thickness I have in the 7 inch range. Man I should have gotten a 711. frown That would be the prefect knife for this setup.

I'll see how everything fits and how it feels and go from there.
