If I am out and about the just in case items in my bag have had most use to fix other peoples issues.
I think you are bang on by what it is about and should be about.I think perhaps if I (and others) approach this from a very personal (not intimate ) point of view then it'll probably make more sense I guess.
....
Now having lived in the countryside, when I return to it in the future, I'll likely adapt things a bit more so that I carry a bit more either in my vehicle or on my person, but those are the reasons for me why I think it's a bit redundant.
i use a small headtorch, a large one and i just blind ther people, supplemented with larger handheld as a dim headlight isnt enough....I think you are bang on by what it is about and should be about.
The best bit of advice I have seen recently was to carry an angle head torch and I can honestly say it is possibly the most used EDC item I have. A little single AA torch and it just rocks.
Ref the dog bags have you tried nappy bags as they are scented.
Considering the number of mountain rescue call outs, I would say extreme situations can happen anywhere especially if you are unprepared and a button compass is better than no compass if you know how to use one. Compasses are bloody useful even in towns.Imho extreme situations rarely happen in the UK but if they do knowledge and experience count for more than a button compass and fishing lines.
The best argument I have heard for prepping was a prepper who lost his job however he had a year's worth of food so was ok while hunting for a new job.I don't say not to prep what I mean is I the UK there's no need for the extreme prepping. Two years of toilet paper and flour, a medical kit better than my local GP's main surgery, several hundred litres of water, tins of food to last you through a nuclear winter, etc.

Based on covid having more toilet rolls than you need is a good idea however I do wonder if everyone who bought floor used it.
Consider our of how many visits to the hills those callous are for? 15.8 million visitors and so far this year 182 callouts. Call it 400 a year 0.0025% of visits get a MRT callout. Very rough figures and not all relevant but makes a point I think.Considering the number of mountain rescue call outs, I would say extreme situations can happen anywhere especially if you are unprepared and a button compass is better than no compass if you know how to use one.
