If needed I have my fly line as cord or rope, and my wading and pants belt material can be pulled apart and is one long zigzag piece of string, can't remember the name of the material now?

Knife is sharp, at all times, I have used dryer lint in the past, but was given a Combat Pilots survival fire starter kit and it is great.

Is that one of the "old" army canteens? That metal cup is aluminum, and I would not drink from it too too often! I carry a 1lt BPA free Nalgene bottle, light and very strong, and water purification tabs. Start the day out with Tang or G-aid, and then if needed in an emergency I would refill and purify.

Again it is a matterof what you are 1)familiar and comfortable with, 2)have confidence in, 3) realistically useful in your given situation or possible life threatening emergency.
