Same one my dad had. Black or OD, but black costs $11 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00598KU7Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1411095717&sr=1-2
Basically you got a kit that is a GearWhores dream, what you don't have is a kit that will keep you alive for more than a few days.
A) the ability to clean and carry water.
B) the ability to make fire.
C) shelter to keep dry/warm (a simple poncho and Mylar Blankets at first)
At this point you could live for a couple weeks, and you've spent $40+ cost of pack
D) food, start with compact shelf stable foods, like the dry emergency rations or these.
A couple weeks worth is like $20, now if you ration you could live for over a month.
3)Now throw away everything else left on the floor.
As the other person pointed out you have 60+ pounds of junk. That fact is a kit to keep you alive for over a month should cost $60 and fit in a shoe box.

this one is cheap and works just fine.
I like to have a simple army canteen set with a canteen cup so I have a way to both store and boil water. If I want to travel light I wear my Lifestraw around my neck.
