>navigation
Some kind of map. I’m basically a boomer and like things on paper, especially directions to the trailhead.

>illumination
A flashlight is good, but a headlamp is better. There’s a chance that if you need light you also need your hands.

>nutrition
You’ll want a food bag, and a way to hang it to keep critters out. Also utensils.

>insulation
Get a ground pad or an inflatable. It will keep you insulated from the ground. Sleep clothes are nice and keep your sleeping bag from getting funky. A pillow is a nice luxury too.

>first aid
Really basic stuff so you stay comfortable. Blister treatment, peptobismal chewables, ibuprofen, maybe some OTC allergy medication. Why suffer?

>repair tools
Just some tape for emergencies, maybe a sewing kit. Really it depends on the length of the trip but a small strip of duct tape wrapped around a credit card doesn’t take up much space or weigh anything.

get a second water bottle and an airmatress

Sensible posts. You can't do without a mattress of sorts. Swapping the fire kit and the water filter with stove and fuel might be more sensible depending on how you're organized.
One canteen is enough only if water is very plentyful. You won't need a pot if your canteen is unlined steel and your food doesn't require cooking.

Rain gear is a must.

An unexpected soaking can be dangerous and ruin a trip really quick. I recommend just getting some packable pants/top as opposed to a poncho. I find that ponchos always let my arms get soaked and they blow around too much in the wind. Frogg Toggs is a reliable and inexpensive brand.

get a sleeping pad as well. get an entrenching shovel (you can use it for digging, and as a hatchet). use a BIC lighter. get a water bottle with a nesting cup, and use the nesting cup as your pot.

Also, about rain: Get a rain cover for your bag and shotty. Big trash bags are good as an inside liner. A couple big gallon ziploc (ones with the actual zipper, not the "press-to-seal" bags) for your ammo or sensitive electronics you might be taking out there.

Keeping your sleeping bag dry is going to be the most important thing.

I've got a (virgin) Helikon bergen with a drawstring close mechanism and "hood"/compartment that folds over the top, would a bin bag make a worthwhile difference?
I can see it being a cheap lightweight and effective, at the same time I can see it ripping easily as you rummage around in there and getting in the way

Get one of those extra thick tear-resistant composter bags. If you get some holes in it here and there, that's fine as long as you aren't submerging your pack.
