Roger. First up is my gear followed by the wifes gear
Weapon Choices:
I'd have to take my .308 Rem 700 for stand-off purposes even though it weighs as much as a buick. I'd carry 60 rounds which I think would be sufficient for the short-term. My small take-down .22 Marlin 70P will be slung and I'd carry roughly 200 rounds (100 regular, and 100 very quiet Super Colibri rounds which can kill a squirrel at 30 yards) for it between the pack and wear. M9 hip-holstered with dual drop leg rigs set up to carry my .22 and 9mm mags (helps distribute weight).
ProTech folder knife (auto), and this dinky Smith & Wesson "rescue" knife that has served me well skinning/butchering game without losing it's edge.
Pack:
Camelback, 3 MRE's, a pack or two of crackers, small bag of Fritos (good fire starter) and a loaf of bread. Light and fills you up, plus the bread doubles as bait to catch real bait with. Small first aid kit, 550 cord, small roll of 100mph tape, fishing line, a few sinkers, bobbers, and hooks. I like the idea of snare wire, but my limited experience and lack of time to wait (due to the E&E) would render that moot I think.
Also in the pack would be a sharpening stone, a few ziplocks, a few Bic lighters, a pair of small bino's, E-tool, extra diapers, and a healthy dose of motivation.
Wife's kit:
Baby, baby carrier (front load), Camelback, diapers, pacifier, and a few extra rounds of whatever will fit. I need to keep her light so she doesn't tire out too quickly. An interesting fact for those who don't already know, is that a breast-fed babies shit doesn't stink all that much and will not be detectable by nearby threats (either 2 or 4 legged). It's also a plus not having to lug around formula.
ETA: 2 ponchos and 2 woobies
