Had a guy show me a Kel-Tec Sub2000. The first thing I thought was how it would fit in a backpack.
I personally am of the notion of never bring a knife to a gunfight and never bring a pistol to a rifle fight. I would still want an AR variant. I'm still a 5.56 fan. My current is a hand built 16" mid length. Good all around. I would lighten my basic load to probably 4 mags.
I too would go with my XdM 5.25, it is a competition gun but would be excellent for engagements with a longer sight radius and slightly better accuracy with the longer barrel.
The idea of a portable .22 survival rifle appeals for small game but for 100 miles, I'm not sure if food is high on my list. Travel light, freeze at night, but get there more quicklier.
This is more about the weapons and I consider pyrotechnics to be in that category. I'm going to carry a few to 3 HC Smokes IOT break contact and if we can carry anything and one could get them, a "drop kick" Claymore™ with time fuse would be on my break contact battle drill list.
