Since you asked, I think you have way too much stuff. 72 hours requires very little; shelter, signal, water.
As an example, you have at least four ways to cut wood. That Fiskars saw is probably the best little saw you can buy for the size and weight; it'll cut to length and provide fire starter as you do it (saw dust) but the chain saw is just extra weight. You may need fire, but you don't need to cook. You state you'll be remote, where "traditional radio/cell/satellite (especially when in the valleys) may not work". Then don't take any more batteries than you need for one flashlight. One fixed blade knife, or a multi-tool.
You literally have enough gear for a month, not 72 hours.
No offense meant, but it really looks like a tacti-cool set up and not a well thought-out set up to me; it's not a 72-hour kit. Less is more; slow is smooth.
