Serious cool looking packs. I like the idea of using a chest rig for your emergency stuff, I've got an old butt pack I could do that with. (I've got a shelf to keep it in place, at least for the first few weeks. :P )
The one thing I'm not familiar with is the H.E.E.D. product. Is this an electrolyte powder?
What I didn't see was something to use as a pot with the jetboil. Do they come with one? If not, let me suggest an empty soup can. They fit around the base of the 500mL Nalgenes almost perfectly and hold about 10 ounces of fluid. For a handle, a piece of coat hanger wire and a small binder clip, after you drill a pair of holes in the side of the can.
