depends how moldy it is. What I do if any of my camping stuff gets moldy, I just run it through the wash. You will probably have to scrub by hand for a while. If you can spare a few bucks just go rent a backpack from somewhere.

There shouldn't be a problem.

washing it will be fine. unless it has so much mildew on it that when it gets washed the fabric tears apart.
If the trip is just two days why do you need a ton of gear?

you can ditch the saw, just bring the axe. dont pack a ton of clothes. when I go camping I just bring an extra pair of socks and an extra shirt.
