-Bring different food as well.
-Get an extra water bottle.
-Ditch the rape whistle. When your bones snap from you falling off a cliff, carve them into a flute to call for help. It may sound like a terrible idea, but it would make for a kickass news story that I get to read.
-Bring a walking stick. Good for moral support, actual support, shelter improvisation, and for yeeting snakes off the narrow parts of the trail.
-Get some lower leg protection. Most people use gators, I use puttees. You'll thank me later.
