I would add a collapsible shovel to your list. Get one with a serrated edge. You can cut tree limbs and make your own traction mats with branches (for mud or snow)

until you actually need one. then, much like a winch, or a parachute, you will wish you had it. cheap insurance as far as im concerned.
this was from one of my last trips this winter.
we were able to reseat the bead, and air the tire up. after about 30 minutes, we were back on our way. it would have been VERY long night without that jack...
