Awesome kit. Like always WW. Well thought out and appointed.
A few thoughts:
I agree about more fire. And obviously keeping it simple for her with lighters. But I think they should be spread out. Like one in her pack, one in her jacket, one to just put in her pocket and one in her fanny or waist pack. Which brings me to my next suggestion.
A fanny or waist pack. I'm gonna come about this opinion from a different angle. As the many tragedies that could befall a woman alone on the road at night - fly thru my head. I like more and more the idea of her carrying two sets of essentials - fire, light, water etc. etc. One in her pack and one in a fanny or waist pack or even a chest pack. This way if she has to ditch her load and run. She can do that without complete loss of lifesaving essentials. Hate to be so blunt about it. But being a woman on the roads at night is just a sad reality I don't wish to even think about. But you have to plan for it.
I even have my kits broken out in the same way. And I'm a big dude. An Ex-Marine. I still have a plan for running. lol. Ditch my pack and I still have my fannypack and chestrig. Ditch my chest rig and I still have my fanny pack. Or visa versa. Or if I lose it. Or if I drop it in a river. Or if I don't have time to pick it up again and take it with me.
Maybe a Sawyer mini? Or Squeeze? Can't hurt. Or even just some water purification tablets? I like the ultralight approach you've taken here though. And sacrifices have to be made. I just wonder if you might start training with her a bit or taking her with you on all those most excellent hikes (Ok. Maybe just the dry ones. LOL!) you do. And maybe thinking more along the 5C's or whatever you want to call it route? The smart bottle is highly effective as an ultralight item. Just wondering how important it might be in your locale to change it out for a SS bottle she can boil in.
I know the 550 bracelet was probably thrown in cause you had it on hand. And if you're like me you have boxes of stuff "on hand". lol! But some separate strands of 550 would be good too. A 100ft or so in her pack. Same in her fanny pack. Etc. Or bankline. Some water purification, extra blade (like leatherman in the fannypack and main blade in the pack or on her belt), trying to remember all the 5c's. But you get what I mean. Two sets. One smaller in her fanny pack or chest rig. And one in her pack.
I really like that you put a sleeping bag in. That's smart. Nothing compares to it. Even a tarp and a woobie or wool blanket. Is not as good as a simple sleeping bag and a tarp.
I would swap out a wool watch cap for the synthetic one. I have one that is lined with Goretex. Kills two birds with one stone. No bill to keep the rain off your face. But better than just a synthetic.
I'd add a mountain house or equivalent meal. Just to have a hot meal with you. And it weighs next to not much. She could split it up into three meals easily.
Gauze pads and the duct tape are all kinds of awesome. You can make any bandage with that. Really no need for the bandaids. But they weigh nothing and are quicker for small stuff. Good call on this one.
I know it's only a 1-3 day bag(?). But you might throw in some single use triple antibiotic creams. And maybe a pain pill or two. Just in case of larger injury.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Car port cell phone charger". But you might consider one of those bad ass cell phone battery back ups like you've been testing. (I know. I know. She can't have all your toys!
NDuR water bottle - I just saw this. I think it's a water filter right? So scratch what I said about the Sawyer mini.
Lastly, I'd consider a USGI bivy. You've got the tarp and the sleeping bag. But we both know in a driving rain or even one that floods the ground - your sleeping bag is going to get wet. A USGI Bivy weighs what? 2lbs at most? It's an iffy thing for the weight. But gold in my opinion. I'd even consider it over the tarp in certain situations. It just seems a little more fail safe with a sort of untrained person in the woods or by side of the road. They may not have the knowledge to pick the best camp site. And they most certainly will get wet in the rain. And drying out a sleeping bag is no easy feat.
I agree with the map and compass. If she can be taught how to use it. Otherwise a simple gps or phone gps app device would be good. Something simple she can turn on and just see where she's at and where she needs to go. Maybe a phone app would be better for this. She's probably familiar with Google maps. I know your thinking normal disaster here and not PAW. So it does make sense. Just don't go all Garmin on her. Or her eyes will roll back in her head. lol. Mine did the first few months of operating one.
Lastly, a signaling device beyond the mirror (I think I saw that on your list). Maybe even a couple round flare gun. They are super lightweight. And if she's lost in a normal disaster could save her life. And help those looking for her - greatly.
But I see what your trying to do here. Something ultralight weight. That can be thrown in the car and forgotten about. That she can use in a pinch. Not a BOB by any stretch of the imagination. It's a great base you've got even without any additions.
Keep us updated as you add and subtract to it. Looks like an excellent bag.
P.
PS - I almost forgot. A set of synthetic or merino wool top and bottom. Takes hardly any room. and can add that last bit of heat retention that cold nights can suck out of you. Or even cold days.
