If you need to survive for a while

I decided a while back that there would be a good chance that I would like to disappear in the wilderness for a while if need be. So I created a survival kit that if need be would help me survive in the wilderness for as long as I like. I live in Minnesota mind you, and I've decided that if I do this, I would head in to Canada to do so.

I would bring:

1, A duffle bag
2. An axe head
3. My Bear Gryls survival knife (it has a steel match)
4. My sleeping bag
5. A small tent
6. 100ft of paracord
7. A two piece fishing rod and reel spooled with 25lb power pro
8. A small sleeve of tackle
9. A tin cup
10. My flask
11. My filet knife
12. Broad heads
13. A bow string.
14. Snare Wire

This all fits in my duffle bag and I can carry it easily. It covers you for food, shelter, fire, it gives you something to store and sterilize water in. And you don't even need the sleeping bag, but I figure that if I am going to be in the wilderness for an extended period of time, it would be nice. The tent could be substituted for with a tarp. I am also assuming that you would already be dressed for the weather appropriately. Good luck out there.
