I agree with Chris: too redundant and not focusing on the right items.
- no need for a rifle, shotgun, and handgun; if your need a gun to hunt, it just pick a rifle or shotgun, depending what you plan on hunting in the area you will be in
- no need for three knives/multitools; a single multitool is fine for 99% of needs, the handsaw will take care of the rest
- no need for a life jacket, just stay away from any large bodies of water
- no need for trip wire…you wont be in Vietnam
- no need for a cooler; nothing will be cold enough to keep cool in the first place, and a cooler wont keep things cool for more than a day at most
- map and compass should be essentials
- I would add snowshoes if you plan on being in the mountains
- Add high strength duct tape and replace the shoe glue & superglue with Seam Grip, as it will cover mulitple needs and is better at sealing waterproof items
- dont forget fuel

There really isn’t any point in putting together a general survival kit, unless you plan on getting lost without warning in the mountains. You really need to shape your gear around each trip depending on location and season. Plus, this is going to weigh probably upwards of 100 lbs, so won’t be reasonable to carry around as an emergency measure. The fact is, you really can’t count on any survival situation as being long term. To survive in the mountains in an emergency, you should focus on getting found or getting out ASAP.

EDIT: Judging by a couple of the answers below, I see some of us live in a fantasy world of paranoia and delusion. Don’t worry, I promise zombies and the evil government won’t be taking over the Earth and running us into the mountains any time soon.

@Bear Crap: None of those recent disasters you listed required long term survival in the mountains. I’m sure having 100 lbs of mountain survival gear would have helped those people in Pearl Harbor and during 9/11. The only one that required survival was MAYBE Katrina, for those that were too dumb to leave in the first place. All you needed to survive that was stocked food, water, and a pump. Stop living in a fantasy land where doomsday is lurking around the bend and only those with stockpiled “survival” gear will live. If you are really concerned, you should just build a well-stocked bunker, which would be far more useful than a duffel bag of toys from the Army surplus store. I think you “survival” nuts just like to play pretend! Of course there is a 1 in a billion chance a meteorite could knock out most life on Earth, but if that happens, you will end up dying anyway, and your survival skills will be irrelevant on the drastically changed planet. Like I said, I think you guys just like to gather a bunch of little “survival” toys like big useless knives, paracord, whistles, and other junk and play pretend…in fact you probably hope society breaks down because it would be “cool” to have to “survive” LMAO!
