In my AO I would choose different items than he has chosen.

Death from hypotheria/exposure is biggest risk here.

Have rain gear and an extra insulating layer which is warm when wet, always.

Have bomb proof reliable fire starting gear. Vaseline and cotton ball tinder is good and I do carry it, along with a spark wheel starter in the mini kit, repacking an old Zippo with tinder and extra flint works well.

Instead of a condom, take a real food grade water container, which doubles as cooking pot. I carry USGI quart canteen, cup, warming stand, mess kit spoon, and my Zippo fire kit in the canteen case.

In hunting coat or ruck a Sawyer mini filter and a drinking tube.

Instead of mouthwash, I use vinegar for various personal hygiene uses,

If you prefer alcohol based or hand sanitizer can also be used for fire starting

A general-purpose folding utility knife like a SAK or Mil-K-818

Also multi-tool, Leatherman or Gerber

50 feet of sturdy utility cordage, something smaller diameter than paracord

Small single-cell AAA personal LED illuminator such as Fenix EO1 or Maratec

Using tampons to stop a major bleed is BIG no-no, only in the cinema!
instead carry a SOFT-T or CAT and Celox or QuikClot ACS.

Signal mirror, whistle, VS17 panel doubles as rain cape.
