Re: Help EDC/ GHB kit
Coins for vending machine. I carry about £5 worth in my EDC bag.
Notepad.
Spare glasses or reading glasses (even if you got good eyesight, a pair of +2 from the pound shop can help with fiddly tasks)
Forget shoelaces, carry a couple of metres of paracord.
phone charger/cable.
disposable poncho

Re: Help EDC/ GHB kit
In my kit ( similar to yours) is an Anker power pack ( will moi do three phone charges),a mini FM radio and spare batteries. ‘Proper’ heavy duty space blanket with brass grommets, and can double as a tarp or blanket.There is a Mylar blanket in there, and bin bags. All weigh next to nowt. Also a military style poncho which again, has multiple uses. Cigarette lighter X2 ( they weigh nothing).Paracord and small amount of duct tape.LED head torch AND conventional hand held torch- plus batteries. Swiss Army knife. Mess tin ( doubles as mess tin, shovel, water gatherer,emergency alarm signal) , hexi stove and fuel , 24 hour calories,500 ml bottle of water, and in a 1 litre wide neck nalgene bottle which contains a Sawyer water filter , and associated accessories. Plus water purification tablets. Lightweight waterproof jacket/ trousers/ hat/ gloves and high vis jacket. All contained ( now) in a lightweight nylon rucksack. Oh yes, I have a ‘traditional’ tobacco tin survival kit in there. In the event of a yomp home, that will go in my pocket, along with my EDC. That is in case I have to dump the GHB.
Believe it or not, that lot weighs just shy of 9 pounds. Hope that helps.

Burner phone with credit, charger and important numbers
Enough (hidden) money for a taxi/Uber/bus If travelling into London an Oyster card is a good idea too
Comfy shoes & socks for walking (and some blister plasters if you are not in the habit of walking any distance)
Paper based maps of the areas you visit.
Bottle of water and painkillers in the first aid kit.

Depends on how far you are from your home and other equipment when youre at work. I work a long way from my home and it could take me a couple of days to walk home if needed. My get home bag includes:
A knife
Lighter
Duct tape
Heavy duty trash bag
Mylar blanket
Candle
Klean kanteen
Peanut butter
High powered torch.
Your pack should compliment your skill set. I went really deep on bushcraft and outdoor survival skills so i dont need a lot of equipment. That will allow me a couple of days on it's own and to get home.
Re: Help EDC/ GHB kit
If the kit is going to live predominately in the car then a few car related items might be a good idea. Fuzes , bulbs and tools for changing wheels . I'd add a pair of disposable overalls and gloves for the time when you are going somewhere nice and don't want to get your decent clothes dirty. Flat tyres don't just happen in the zombie apocalypse , actually if tv is to be believed they very rarely happen during a zombie apocalypse. Add in some jump leads , a tow rope and a can of fuel.
