Well putting together a BOB can be a little tough, so ill just mention a few things. It also can get pricey when you start getting good quality stuff.

Make a kit that will fit you living region(live in cold weather,prep for cold.)
Never buy cheap knives. Go for a real good quality knife. Remeber quality,not quanity.
Im kind of weary on crank lights and radios.
Are those matches waterproof?if not dip them in wax, or buy some wind and water proof matches.Its worth the $.
Make sure you get a high quality light,it doesnt have to be a surefire thats 400 bucks,but something nice. I like princeton tec's line because they are waterproof. You said you had a mini mag,i have one and i like it but try the mini maglite led-its much brighter and only a little bigger. But choosing what gear to use is a different discussion in its own.
i could comment on your whole setup but ill let everyone else do that. Ill send you a list of my bug out bag componets.
