What is the reasoning for the Constitution?

I dunno, my uncle sent it to me from Amazon and told me to stick it in there. So I obliged.

What is your plan?
To leave your home and all your stuff to bug out where?
A get home bag makes much more sense, and most of your stuff doesn't make any sense with the goal of getting home to your main store of stuff.

Just a survival bad more or less. No plan really. If shite hits the fan, I'm not trying to make it home. I'm trying to make it somewhere else.

I'm bored so here you go. without getting into the merits of a BOB or overall planning considerations, etc., here are my thoughts on the items you have chosen to carry.
overall: you have a bunch redundant or less than optimal stuff leading to a weight that is too high without food/water. You'll last longer than some, but still be dead within a week
In the bag:
cloud ID cards - why? you'll either be dead before this becomes handy or figure it out easy enough as you go if not
rope knot ID cards better to just know this, but maybe useful. does it tell you how to tie them and when to use them or just show you what they look like? latter is useless
The Constitution of the United States no
LED flashlight switch out for a headlamp
AAA Batteries for flashlight
can opener redundant, you have a Leatherman and 17 knives
leatherman tool
snake bite kit absolutely worthless. throw in trash, don't just remove from bag
trail flagging not worth carrying
deck of playing/survival cards
signal mirror
2 compasses how do you know which one is wrong? 1 or 3
550 paracord
mini water filtration system
heat reflective waterproof sleeping bag this might not be worth anything, depending on what it is
hand crank/solar powered radio
gerber hunting knife calm the frick down on knives. you don't need this many
first aide kit very important, but only as useful as the contents. I'm not optimistic
CRKT folding knife calm the frick down on knives. you don't need this many
Fillet knife calm the frick down on knives. you don't need this many
2 ponchos
5 big lighters too many
3 pencils
paper tablet
thermacell no
3 thermacell fuel refills no
6 thermacell cartridges no
toilet paper no
folding saw you are way to obsessed with sharp shite. You're carrying all this stuff. don't take the perfect tool for every job. Take a decent enough tool for the most likely job that will work in a pinch for something else or 5
hatchet see above
duct tape probably way too much. wrap some around a water bottle or something else you're already carrying. don't need to carry a full roll
4 chem lights unnecessary
fire striker i'd have more than one thing in this category if this is supposed to be a long term deal
50 rounds of 9mm
50 rounds of 38sp lol, no. sell this gun and the ammo.
Needs:
mini shovel
maps
sewing kit
camp fire cookware
go time gear life tent
zip ties
cotton balls in vaseline
dryer lint
off w/ deet
fishing line and hooks

I don't know why you would need the constitution, playing cards, a cloud ID card or 7 knives. I would also lose the snake bite kit and the thermacell.
I would add a few bottles of water. If SHTF you'll need some immediate provisions to get to where ever it is you're going before you can set up and filtrate/boil water.

Yeah my thoughts exactly.
I pretty much have a knife,cc gun and spare mag and a single triple a battery flashlight on me at all times.
If the world truly get to a BOB scenario I plan on loading a bag with
(22rifle and 1000rds, extra 9mm and 500rd 4K cash, 4 bottles of alcohol)
I will then either buy or barter my way for long enough. If the world hasn’t gotten better when my supplies are out I don’t know if I would even want to be around anyways …

I'd take all that shite out and add some bourbon.

A get home bag
This is what I'm putting together.
In a SHTF situation, I have seven people to worry about. Ain't no bag gonna allow all of us to bug out. My goal would be to get home, secure what I can in my truck (most of what is needed is already stored in weathertight containers) and my wife's SUV (if possible), and then get out.
