Loose the shovel.

Most important is add an extra light bulb and extra set of fresh batteries. Or have a second flash light source.

First aid kit additions, 2 non-latex medical gloves, two (6"x6" dressings), two cravats, and roll of 1 inch tape. Two cravats can be made from an old clean cloth bed sheet square 3 feet by 3 feet and cut the square diagonally making two triangle cravats. Butter fly bandages are also very useful to pull together the skin of a laceration cut, which is a good way to keep dirt out of a deep cut.
