Wildman,

You had too much redundancy to travel light. Wow, 5 water bottles.

Recently, I had got a MSR MIOX water purifier and that work great. What I would do is to take 2 water bottle, 1 filled for my immediate needs and 1 empty. Along the way, if I come across a water source, I would fill the empty bottle and purifiy the raw water and let it stand for the required waiting period. The treated water will be filtered into the bottle I am drinking from. If you can swing it, suggest you get this MIOX purifier.

First aid items can be consolidated into a single bag and reduce in number.

Remember you are trying to get out of harm way / disaster zone and you have to do it fast. Looking at your packing list, I would imagine you are going for multi weeks safari trip to Africa.
