Although I agree with a lot if not most in your post, too many people quote this.
Following this quote you should take THREE knives ..... to me that is overkill.
Remember other sayings/adages as:
improvise, adapt, overcome
there is no shortcut for experience
and
if you need it and don't have it, you don't need it (R. Jardine afaik)
Now that last one, I mostly use to train myself to find different solutions. I too, used to carry multitool and a fixed blade knife and depending on trip axe or saw. Nowadays I try to get everything done with just a Mora (or equivalent), stimulates my brain... Next step ... flintknapping
Just kidding....
Btw, good idea to list the items you didn't use. Think about the items you did use too and find different solutions or multi functional items. All that aside: HYOH and stuff...
