I might recommend a more robust fixed blade in the BOB, like a Mora or maybe even a KA-BAR or Cold Steel SRK. I would look at swapping out the mini mag for a hand crank LED flashlight, or maybe carry both.
I have a standing recommendation for all that they should EDC dacron or similar kite/fishing string rated at 50+lbs. I EDC 25 yards of 120 lb test spooled up on a tongue depressor along with 8 yards of duct tape and 10 yards of electrical tape. It is small enough diameter it could be used as sewing thread, yet it is strong enough to lash together a shelter. It is darned good garrotte/snare material to boot.
