Define "big"?
These are 1/2 inch by 6 inch in a pack of two.
They work well.
I'd go Saw instead of Axe, less exersion/calorie use, better cuts.
Dump the gill net, in the case of season 3, your inland, not on the ocean, if you don't get lucky enough to get a stream on your site you wasted one of your 10. If you are lucky and get a stream, building fish traps is easy.
Maybe Bow, but only if your skilled in it's use
Definately cordage should be added, there are too many things that you can do with it.
Here is the list of what I would bring...
1, 100 Yard 30lb test (Additional Cordage, Snare wire)
2, 100 yard 20lb test (Additional Cordage, or use as heavy line)
3, 100 yard 15 lb test (for actual fishing)
for the 25 hooks, get the "red" colored hooks [Here is why] as they may be a built in attractant, a bonus within the rules is a bonus...
My Start
Day 1, job 1: temp shelter and fire building Prep for first night... NOTE! If in an area of Large Predators (Boar, Big Cat, Bears, etc) First order of Business Make a Boar Spear! 8 feet long, and mount a cross bar about a foot down (Boar Spear, else they will climb the spear torwards you)
Day 2, water production and evaluate the site, dig into a little of the rations for food for the day. Plan out the permant camp (if located), fishing/food prep/trapping areas, Freshwater sources. Try to make the permant cam centrally located between food and water, but away from food prep area and possible larger predator areas.
Day 3, Water Production, Hunting gathering morning, Camp building after noon. Food prep and bed.. Basically I'll follow the rule of 3s mostly (3 minutes air, 3 hours exposure, 3 days water, 3 weeks food) everything has it's priority, Shelter fire 1st, water 2nd, food last, beyond that is comfort to survive and thrive in the situation.
At first I was like, damn, thats a lot of money for a firesteel. I bought decent ones for $8 that work great. But then I saw the pic of the guy holding it. Shit, that is huge. I may have to get me one of those. Go with a two pack, different brand and no lanyard, but the reviews are just as good.
