    When he takes the fishing line from that plastic bag he will, doubtless, spend much happy time untangling the mess. As for the snare wire, unless you are practiced in snaring technique, you will waste valuable energy. If you insist on trying, I recommend a couple of slightly larger swivels to go between the wire and the anchor. Your prey will be most uncooperative and trash the snare. From experience the X-Acto blades are next to useless unless you need to lance an infection or similar activity. Back-up for a knife?? WOW! Carry a spare knife. I never leave home with fewer than 3. Can iodine tabs be used for antisepsis? And forget the cable saw; another energy waste even with a green sapling bow; even if the saw stays together.
