I wanna shred with this fucking goomba right here real bad.

BINDING PARTS!

I didn't see parachute cord. Tie knots in it, and boom you've got a cornice saw and something to cut out the back side of a block or pit or whatever (for OP), it's just really versatile as a tool, can help build a shelter, could tie you off if you had to attempt a sketchy rescue, and on and on.

New to my kit this year is this little solar cell phone charging device. Never hurts to have a backup cell battery (somewhere warm!! like taped to your body, or in an internal pocket) if you're in an area with good coverage.

vape pen, gram of that bumbaclot wax and let's get it.
 
This is a great list. The only things I would add are water purifiers (like iodine or auquamuira), a multi tool, and a tarp, to make a shelter with, and extra socks. The tarp takes up a bit of space, but could definitely be a life saver if you need to spend a night in the back country.
