The Perfect I.N.C.H / Bug out Bag...?

Hey gents, been working on perfecting my bag for the past couple years and really getting down to the wants and needs of things.
I feel that I have it down to a pretty well rounded kit, but I always like to hear critique from experienced folks.

It is designed to be a bag I can pick up and disappear into the woods for a week comfortably / longer if I add a bit more food or find suitable areas to fish, forage, and trap. Kind of a mix between a INCH bag and a Bugout bag, while still being light enough to slug around the Oregon terrain

So here she be. weighs in around 50-55lbs lbs without water. Would like to get it down lighter but it is currently set up for winter outings ( and a few luxury items
