quick and dirty review:
headlight & flashlight are redundant, skip flashlight
what is a p38?
sporks suck, fork & spoon better

rain jacket & poncho reduntant, skip poncho
NO JEANS - too heavy, take forever to dry. light cotton or nylon pants. lots of guys like the zip-off leg ones
what is the difference between a hat & a beanie - can you skip one?

need long finger riding gloves, possibly toe covers
what are you wearing on your legs if it's cold while you're riding?
only 2 or 1 tee shirt
only 2 cotton socks
I would use quick-dry sythetic bike jerseys, looks like you're using t-shirts.
make sure you have something to wear that when it rains, drys quickly or stays reasonably warm. some people like wool
i'd take a 2nd long sleeve thermal-ish top for in camp when the first one is wet from riding in the rain
one bandana
are you riding in your one pair shoes? (no clipless? that's fine, otherwise, you forgot your bike shoes?)


why do you need even one presta valve adaptor, i assume your pump is presta?
how are you getting your cassette off if you break a drive-side spoke? fiberfix spoke, stein cracker, or chain whip (kidding about that last one)
what is misc lube and can you use chain lube for it?
add a brake cable

skip the laptop if possible
