and leave the fishing kit and the machete and the raft making-supplies for the expedition kit.

That makes perfect sense--for your situation, not mine. For example, where I hunt there are innumerable small lakes and ponds that are sometimes teeming with smallish trout. It would be foolish of me not to include some small way of taking advantage of that. I don't know, maybe carrying a machete makes perfect sense in the Everglades. Maybe somebody living in the bayou might need to make a raft, who knows? Once size fits all just doesn't work in a country--and world--as vast and diverse as this.
