You are dropped off in the Colorado wilderness on August 1st. You can't come out till November 1st. (No game laws, no guns, strictly traditional bows) You can take 30 lbs of equipment that you own NOW. What would you take? This is just for fun.

As much rice and flour as I presently have, saucepan x 2, a metal plate, a cup and two good knives. A flint. Plastic bags. A couple of water storage vessels, fish netting, ropes. Blankets, clothing and two pair of shoes. Tape, glue, rope, tarp. Archery equipment. That should be about 30 lb

Oh, very importantly, pencils and paper. This can help you from losing your marbles when you get really lonely in the first weeks before you settle in.

Snares are on the list for sure. You are hunting while sleeping or actually hunting, etc.... For that long of a trip I would take 300 feet of paracord. Hennesey Hammock for tent with large rain tarp. Add small ultra light pulleys for hanging kills and cleaning kills. magnesium shavings and steel wool for fire starting.
With that much time a compass or map would seem a bit irrelevant. You have enough time time to search and learn your core areas. I would still take a map and compass.
Skinning knife, and tomahawk. First aid kit. I would not take anything that requires batteries. You will run out of them in that length of time and the device will become useless weight before your done. Use the weight for other items.
Clothing would be a mix of wool and cotton. I would carry the SAS survival guide or similar book in the small version. A small bible. I find that much time alone makes a great time to learn more about and speak with the Lord.
Dry seasonings. They weigh nothing and make everything taste better. Plus a light weight book on local edible plants and herbs. Once you have it memorized thru practice you can use it as firestarter.

Ben, bringing salt and tea is an excellent idea. Luxury. I often think of what aboriginal people used to barter most when first contacted by foreigners. Salt, flour, sugar, blankets and steel are invariably treasured. I guess they are the things most difficult to supply from the land.

Somebody likely already said this and I just missed it, but bowfishing stuff, arrows, points, line, reel. Everyone remembers that scene in Jeremiah Johnson when Paints his Shirt Red happens on JJ while he is trying to fish in the icy creek, and the only thing he is catching is a cold. Later in the movie, Bear Claw tells JJ that Paints said "you fish poorly" ... not me, I'll not be a starving pilgrim if I can arrow some fish!
