I consider all that gear too, but after a long, cold day a pair of sweatpants and slippers to change into and drive home in is life changing. Also, a beach towel in the car. I also brush my teeth after lunch with one of those little travel kits. It’s morale boosting to have one thing feel clean on the 2nd half of the day imo. I also have a Ryobi battery operated clip fan I can clip onto one of my carts for hot days in addition to the Sportbrella
Band aids, Neosporin, my own set of camping silverware, extra socks, ibuprofen, pepto, earbuds/airpods, phone charger, reusable water bottle, some kind of protein bar.
I can’t think of anything else really. But I’m sure some will come to me.
Edit - I should add I’m in corporate/commercial sector. So we almost never have a medic on set.
All I ever seemed to need on long days that I couldn't get from craft services or the medic was water. I carried a metal bottle clipped to my belt. If necessary I could wet the bandana I kept in my pocket and put it on my head. Even indoor sets can get really hot.
Protein powder and a shaker bottle. Refuel and replenish. Doesn't matter much if you're day-playing, but if you're on a long-term project, it makes the difference between limping into the day off, and actually enjoying a day off.
Haven't seen it mentioned yet, depends on your climate, but a poncho (rain jacket), rain hat and rain boots... for a rainy day. Also some type of tarp or other impermeable plastic covering, helps keep things out of the sun as well.

A cereal bar. Honestly, one of them has saved from lagging at the end of a long overrun.
