Good kit list. 3 litres of water is a joke though -- I blow through this in less than a day when it's hot and I'm working hard. Water is the foundation of survival, along with shelter.

I suggest testing this kit in practice. I keep a small notepad and pencil in my kit when camping, leaving notes to my "very clever abstract planning self." My armchair self rarely manages to capture all the realities on the ground. My 2c.
 
A berm makes a great wind break. And we all like to break wind once in a while. Like this tiny ad:
