obviously this is subjective....

I would add 2-3 methods for starting a fire. (oh wait, you are in SoCal. Scratch fire methods.....the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...better to die in SoCal than to start a fire) smile
A poncho.
Another shelter option, like BIG trash bag, or a small tarp.
A couple energy bars (food)
A method to purify water.
A method to boil water.
Tape
Some type of cordage. I really like bankline as opposed to mason line or paracord.
Sunglasses
A beanie and leather gloves for summer.
signal mirror
