I've been thinking about a B.O.B as well.
I'd add a few heavy duty ziploc bags to store these items in. They come in handy as storage as well as being water resistant. Fold up a few plastic grocery bags as well, table top football style.
I try to have safty pins on me everwhere I go they come in handy for when there's no time to sew.
In my camping gear I carry emergency candels for light and fire starter; trick birthday candels are good. My vaseline soaked cotton balls are carried inside an old 35mm film canister; the canister could double as a bobber onece empty. I just obtained a magnesium fire starter, but have not tried it yet. Thinking of looking into getting a flint and steel as well.
I've got a pocket chainsaw. A colapsable cup, metal chopsticks. Tiny magnifying glass is attached to my compass.
Hand towel size shammy or microfiber towel.
Sunscreen, bug repellant, some sort of antihistamine, tums, eyedrops, travel size container of bagbalm (works as a moisturizer for skin, lips, wounds, and fire starter), dental floss, couple sharp tweezers as well. Chemical ice packs. Reusable heat packs, the kind with the metal disk in them you boil to reuse.
Foodwise: bouillon cubes, mint tea bags, jerkey, hard candy, powerbars, granola bars.
On the fem hygiene products, tampons and pads double as wound dressing. If you're thinking long term multiple use though, some people do make their own washable pads out of flannel. In which case you'd need some way to disinfect them after use. I'm not sure if boiling alone would be enough to kill pathogens.
I'd also throw in a deck of cards, a bit of wire, leather gloves, and condoms.

I'm glad I am not the only one preparing.
