Carring all that gear may look aesthetic, but it's ridiculous

NO you don't need to carry and axe or hatchet. Axes and hatchet are civilization-building tools. They are NOT useful for the lonesome hiker or survivalist. They're heavy, and using them they're going to suck the living energy out of you like nothing else. Axes and hatchets are tools that need to be put into a shed when not in use, like they always were. They should never be part of a part of your /out/ kit.

And look at those shoes you are wearing! Why are you trying to imitate the military? They're like anchors on your feet! Using those will soak up a ton of calories. Shed them! Use moccasins or go barefoot where it's allowed.

No you don't need 3 pots and pans, a collapsible saw,

Survival is a calorie game. You can't be wasting all that energy on carrying dead-weight. You should be building a kit that is as lightweight as possible, the less shit you have to haul, the more calories you'll save, the less you need to eat. Survival bushcraft is not about larping and looking good, it's about knowing the essentials and way the around the forests, and how to conserve the most energy and make the best of little.
