I don't understand why on a day hike, on pavement - as you relate - there's a need for a folding saw and two fixed blade knives. Besides increasing the weight of your pack to make the walk a more strenuous workout, what's the point (note clever pun ...)?
Well, it's her standard dayhike kit. No mention in her post of pavement or shopping for designer shoes.
It's easier to have a standard kit that you know and is ready to go. That's what I try to do: standard kit, grab that bag and head out the door. I tie the main compartment with a coloured twist tie that tells me I have replaced/refilled everything and am ready for blastoff.
Speaking of blastoff: If you survey the kit that new moms carry, you quickly realize that the Apollo astronauts were practically buck freaking naked in space. A new mom stroller could colonize Mars with stuff to spare.
