I highly doubt you're going to carry the food buckets. If you have another way of carrying it, great.
Duct tape will go fast. A small roll won't last long. BoB's are for 72 hours minimum and should be tailored to the user.
Fire: Can you start one in the rain and heavy wind? Not with matches. Firesteel can start one in almost any weather given good tinder and fuel.
The grenade is a POS. It's a novelty item and once unraveled is done. Most are one use items. It's light but I wouldn't buy anymore. I have a better idea for TP:

Canadian Prepper review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP9U7cuzpuY
These things are far more durable than the tissue packs.
I don't know what the clear plastic bottle bag thing is, but a Sawyer Mini filtration kit or a Lifestraw for each (maybe a spare) is better. I see one, but the Sawyer is smaller and lighter.
I prefer full tang knives for heavy duty use and foldables for lighter, smaller tasks and are good at hiding.
Deoderant? No. As a BoB and if you're trying to 'hide and be silent' perfumed products will be a giveaway; to humans and animals. Not needed.
You can't carry everything. That bag might end up having to last you longer than 72 hours. As for it being heavy, you'll have to get used to it or you'll be hurting bad should SHTF tomorrow. Maximizing space is a must. I prefer packs with MOLLE webbing on the outside as well as extra pouches that can be attached. To each his/her own. What works for me and others may/may not work for you.

> wool socks

Is this in addition to the 2 pairs of socks mentioned in your "transportation" section?

> Sleep/Shelter (light tarp, 2 x 50 feet of 550 Titan survivor cord, emergency Mylar blanket, portable hammock? wool blanket? woobie? bivvy bag?)

You said "4-season." Have you tested any of this in the extremes of the seasons? Especially winter?

> Illumination (LED flashlight, headlamp, spare batteries)

Enough spare batteries? Rechargeable batteries? Way to recharge said rechargeable batteries?

> Combustion (waterproof matches in waterproof container, 5 Bic lighters, Fresnel lens, Magnesium block? Ferro rod? Survivorsteel? travel lantern? 12-hour candles?)

More ways to start a fire is always good. I see no tinder, though. Having some on hand in case you can't gather any (none around, or it's all wet) is handy, and it won't take up much space. Something like Wetfire or even cotton soaked in petroleum jelly (you can store this in a ziploc or cut straws to an inch and a half or 2 inches stuff it down in there, pinch the ends with pliers and melt them with a lighter). Maybe even just carry a tiny jar of Vaseline and some cotton swabs to make a cotton tinder stick on the spot.

> Hydration (filled 40oz stainless steel water bottle, Sawyer Mini water filter)

Consider a few collapsible water bottles. No need to keep them full. If you either know you're going to go a long stretch between water sources or you're going to wander into an area where you're not sure about the water (quality or availability), you can fill them up.

> Protection (two high-capacity 9mm handguns… make and model? How much ammunition for 2 weeks?)

"How much ammo?" depends on how much you actually need to use them. Hopefully, you'd use them zero, which means that you need zero ammo. Worst case that you live through is lucking your way through daily extended gun fights. The truth would likely be somewhere in the middle.

Let's consider weight for a moment

Most handguns sold as new in the US come with 2 magazines. Standard magazine capacity for a Glock 17 or M&P9 is 17 rounds. Glock 19 and M&P9c carry 15 rounds in their standard capacity magazines. So, 2 full mags with the gun is 34 rounds for the full sized guns or 30 rounds in the compact guns. That's about a pound of ammunition in 2 magazines (rounding because I'm lazy). If you've got 2 guns that each came with 2 magazines, you have 2 pounds of ammunition between the two guns, plus the weight of the guns and the magazines themselves.

The Glock 17 has a 4.5" barrel and weighs 24.87 ounces (1.55 pounds) with an empty magazine.

The M&P9 has a 4.25" barrel and weighs 24.7 ounces (1.54 pounds) with an empty magazine.

So, for each gun with 2 full magazines, you're talking about roughly 3.5 pounds of weight, so 7 pounds if you're carrying 2 guns. The compact versions of the guns (G19 and M&P9c) aren't much lighter, so not worth factoring the difference.

Most handgun ammo comes in 50 round boxes (some of the higher end defensive ammo comes in 20 or 25 round boxes). That 50 round box weighs between 1.4 and 1.6 pounds (depending on the weight of the actual projectile used).

1 box of ammo will give you 2 loaded magazines and 16 rounds left loose (for the full sized guns, 20 rounds for the compact guns). Might as well pop for a third magazine to stuff at least most of the ammo in. And you're adding another half pound to your load for each gun you do this for.

So, 8 pounds for 2 guns, 6 loaded magazines, and 100 rounds of ammunition. How much more weight do you want to carry?

Also, please define "high-capacity."

Make and model is debatable. Lots of folks will say "Glock" without a second thought. They're reliable, no doubt, but they don't naturally point straight for a lot of people. If you're going to practice plenty, that's not a problem. If you're not, it might be. I prefer the M&P over the Glock. It naturally points straight for me.

Honestly, this is a big can of worms with no single "correct" answer, and it actually brings more questions than answers. Things like:

1. What is your experience level with firearms?
   
   
2. How much do/can/will you practice?
   
   
3. How much training are you willing to get?
   
   And many more questions, really. It deserves its own post.
   
   > Medical Supplementation
   
   You asked about antibiotics. Do you know how to determine what antibiotic to use? How much of it to use? Are you allergic to any antibiotics? Allergy to the penicillin family is fairly common, for example.
   
   Seriously consider consulting your physician about this. Tell him/her you're planning an extended camping trip and you're worried about possible infection if you get a serious cut while out. Ask about a prescription for a prophylactic course of antibiotics for such an event. They might do it, they might not. If they do, fill the scrip and make note of what it is and the dosage amount and instructions and use that as a launching point for future research.
   
   > toilet paper coins
   
   That looks like a bad implementation of a good idea. Carry some actual TP (same type you're used to at home, pull the cardboard tube out of the middle to help it squish flatter) and/or some wet wipes. If you don't mind the bulk and the weight, go to the baby section of Wal-Mart and grab some Parent's Choice brand baby wipes. They're not flushable, definitely not septic safe, and I have no idea how biodegradable they are, but they're surprisingly tough, and reasonably cheap. I don't recall what a pack of 80 costs off the top of my head, but a case of 1200 costs $20. If you don't want to brave the baby section, grab some Charmin wipes (which are flushable if that matters to you) from the regular TP area of Wal-Mart. Avoid the Cottonelle wipes. Their structural integrity leaves much to be desired.
   
   Also, a way to wipe your ass isn't a "creature comfort." Personal hygiene is a necessity that becomes doubly important when SHTF.
   
   > -folding solar panel?
   
   If you have the space (volume and weight) and have batteries to charge (like for your lights), sure, go for it.
   
   This is starting to get long (does Reddit have a character limit?), so I'll try to breeze through a few other things:
   
   If we get the "WW3/national SHTF/anarchy scenario," that .22 will be good to hunt with, but crap to fight with. In that scenario, a proper AR-15 in 5.56x45 NATO would be preferable, but I wouldn't want to hump 250 miles with it in the open if I didn't have to. Consider a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) that takes the same magazines as your handguns (Kel-Tec has a few options, Ruger's PC9 is promising, too). It's not as good as a proper rifle, but it will extend the useful range of the handgun ammunition and magazines you're already toting. It will also add 4-6 pounds to your load, but a decent AR will ad 6 to 8 before you factor the extra magazines and ammo.
   
   NVG are bulky and expensive. Unless you plan to move and/or fight a lot at night, I'd skip them.
   
   The use case you make for a gas mask can be handled by a bandana or shemagh, either of which is lighter, more compact, and have other uses. If you're expecting actual gas, grab the gas mask, otherwise it's unnecessary weight.
   
   A lightweight vest is going to stop handgun rounds but probably not rifle rounds. It's also probably going to be hot. This one's up to you. Helmet is also a personal choice. I expect it would get more actual use saving you from tree branches and falls than gun shots, but not sure if you want the extra weight, bulk, and potential heat build-up.

Just a quick comment because I'm on mobile, and at work.

Fire starters - have backups for your backups. That could be extra water-proof strike anywhere matches in a container, Bic lighters, ferrocerium rods. You don't want to be without a fire.

Medical supplies - DO NOT SKIMP ON GOOD MEDICAL SUPPLIES, you need stuff for everything. While hopefully you never need to use it, it is imperative that you have a good comprehensive medical kit the normal bandaids, gauze, hydrocortisone, Neosporin, antibacterial wipes, alcohol pads, etc, etc. But you also need more less thought of things like: a good suture kit, splints, pain relievers like ibuprofen, advil, tylenol, even Nyquil maybe. Any of you your personal meds, or family member meds. (This is a very simple list btw)

Toiletries - Yeah, it's a topic nobody wants to discuss, I know. But hey, shit happens. You don't want to be in a stressful situation, and be drity, and uncomfortable too. Things like, toilet paper (some compressed coin tissues are small, light, and convenient. Will link below), wet wipes, condoms, tampons, feminine pads, soap(s), hand sanitizer, toothpaste, tooth brush, mouth wash, tooth brush, floss, lotion(s), BABY POWDER (very useful, and a godsend for if anything rubs down there). (Again this is just a short list)

Clothes - Rotate with the weather. Good comfortable breathable underwear are a must, same with socks, also double them, nobody likes soggy socks and underpants.

That's all for now.

I suggest https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZIY9YG4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AJG8DNQ11S48S&psc=1

it has a lot of uses. If 2 is 1, then 1 is none.

These are just as strong, reusable too if you want, and you can add your own scent/water: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZIY9YG4/

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZIY9YG4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_vCOLBbRQ94024 these are awesome, just drip a little water on them and they become a wet wipe.

I like to carry these, can be used for tons if stuff, including TP.
