I hate to break it to you Levi but your EDC is flawed; you are missing a essential item.
The Grappling Hook
Only messing lol, you have a pretty extensive setup :biggthump Have you got any pics?
One thing I always carry is a pack of Wet Wipes. Not just for the kids, they come in handy for me all the time :)
I've not bothered with wet wipes because I already have dry tissues, hand sanitizer gel and antiseptic wipes in the FAK, so I think I have that side of things covered... I do normally have a few of the KFC wet wipes in my jacket pocket for cleaning the bike's headlight, screen etc. but they seem to be very stingy with them at the minute. The grappling hook? I'm not going to lie, I have thought about it... but really, how often does anyone need a grappling hook? Not sure how I'd explain that one.
Here's just a few pics of my manbag (Snugpack Response Pak, also available in black - a copy of the Maxpedition Proteus Versipack but costs ~£15 rather than ~£50) just so you can get a better idea of what it is I'm lugging around, but I can't be bothered completely emptying it and laying it all out :P

Pocket that's open houses the camera (in use obviously) and Deluxe Tinker. There are pen holders either side of the front pocket.

Other side pocket has all the 'hygiene' items; tissues, earplugs, lib balm, gum, hand sanitiser and mini FAK in a plastic baggie.

Front pocket has the little things; lighter, flash drive & card reader in one pocket - sewing kit, glue & tape in the other. There are cable ties behind the notebook at the back, and that mini screwdriver set to its side. 550 cord and Nitecore D10 fit nicely under the front pockets (behind the batteries).

And then all the bulky items in the main compartment (iPod lives in the hat to protect from scratches).
Those chocolate bars give a good indication of scale - it's not a big bag; you'd struggle to fit a packed lunch in the main compartment, yet it's laid out nicely enough to fit all the things listed above comfortably with room to spare.
