how do you guys find the jetboil/ canister fuel type stoves work in extreme cold? I know they have fuel thats supposed to work better in colder weather but I still use my old, heavy but reliable whisperlite.

Andy I haven't gone yet.
I would agree with some others on the cutting tools. I would ditch the axe - too much weight, too many calories and too much energy to use. I would get either the SAWvivor or the Sven saw. Then pair it with a large fixed blade survival knife like the RTAK-2 which you use to baton the logs.
I would also consider MREs and plastic flatware. Pair it with a survival straw if near a water source. That way you don't need to pack in as much weight on the food and cooking wares nor doing dishes.
