That all sounds like good stuff to me. One thing I can think of off the top of my head that I bring is an extra pair of gloves in case my primary ones get wet. They could also come in handy, no pun intended, if you had to stay out there overnight. I also pack a whistle and a little mirror in case I need to try and get somebody's attention.
