I have a "chit hits the fan" backpack that has most everything I think I would need for a couple days.
-S&W model 17 22lr and holster for small game (food) with 100 rounds ammo
-S&W model 629 44 mag and holster for self defense with 50 rounds ammo
-folding hand saw for building shelter.
-Randall 2-4 in clip sheath for self defense
-Behring Hunter and Behring Pintail for cooking, meat processing, camp chores, etc.
-Sharpening stone
-Flashlight and extra batteries
-Wind and water proof torch lighter and a Regular Bic lighter
-Bag of Fatwood for fire starter
-Tylenol for fever, headache, broken finger, etc.
-Rope for various uses
-Water purification straw
-Hand warmers
-Not pictured I also have gauze, bandaids, rubbing alcohol, and hand sanitizer.

All of the above weights 17lbs, which may seem excessive, but keep in mind some of that weight will be on my belt and in pant pockets.

-In my truck under rear seat I keep a small fishing pole with light tackle for added dinner options.

Thanks to this thread I have decided to seek out a small light weight skillet to add to the pack.

If I knew I was needing to be out longer, I would also likely grab my BLR 30-06 and a couple boxes of ammo.
