That all adds up to $263.

brand isn't that important, but you can also find the following on Amazon for probably around or under $60-$70 total.

1. a wool hat and gloves
   
   
2. stormproof matches (look for the NATO approved ones)
   
   
3. water treatment tablets
   
   
4. a space blanket
   
   
5. a basic first aid kit
   
   
6. a sewing kit
   
   
7. a bandana or other cotton scarf (keffiyeh, etc.)
   
   
8. A stainless steel or titanium backpackers spoon or spork (spoon on one end, fork on the other)
   
   
   The remaining money, probably about $150, I would put on a gift card to EMS, REI, Cabela's, or some other outdoor goods store where he can get some basic outdoor clothing or fill any remaining gaps with his gear, such as a pack. I generally don't recommend bags over the internet because it's so important that you try one on in person before buying it.

+1 for Sawyer (I have the squeeze but I hear good things about the mini too).

I was going to mention your cooking setup in my other comment too, but I decided against because I didn't want to be too critical. I agree with /u/deztroyer99 ... I think two stoves is super overkill (maybe go with one... or even none (I don't have a stove in my BOB)).

As for your pot(s), I would consider ditching those too. One thing that is missing from your list is a single walled, stainless steal water bottle. These can be used to boil water, and can replace a pot in most instance (esp. if you get a wide mouth bottle). Here is a link to a bottle I bought recently (thought it might be bigger than you need, it's a good starting place in your search): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093IS22I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Klean Kanteen

Mine has been through hell and back. This 64oz goes with me every day. I also have a 20oz double insulated that I use for hot coffee. Keeps coffee hot almost all day. Mind you I live in Arizona. However, even up north in "cold country" it does just fine. Only advantage I see of the Hydro Flask is that it is insulated. The 64oz is 41.19 on Amazon. While Klean Kanteen 64oz non-insulated is 26.51. Guess it depends on how important insulation is for you. I can not speak highly enough of Klean Kanteen though. Hope this was some help.

For water I would recommend a Klean Kanteen Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Bottle. I personally carry the 64 oz. (1.9L) bottle.
