A bunch of good ideas so far, I agree on more and different tinders, perhaps add some type of billy can.
Now for your basic survival items IMO you should check out the Ribz vest, there was a thread on this a couple weeks ago.
You want your basic items with you in case you are forced to part with your YAK, a Ribz is ideal for this use.
