Well, I tried to get up to 100 items and maybe by breaking out each part of the first aid or toiletry kit I would get there but the bottom line is that you can survive on not much stuff. I try to keep the stuff that I carry to a minimum because, well, I have to carry the stuff and I would rather be light and fast instead of bogged down and hyperventilating halfway up the trail. Plus, in an emergency survival situation, you may have to move quickly, you may have to hide or defend your stuff, you may only be able to bring one bag with you...there are a number of reasons why it just makes sense to bring the basics and skip all of the extraneous junk.
CNi: I like your lists. I would add binoculars.
