Again, your mileage may vary.
1.) Firestarter (any, and two different types)
2.) A belt knife, full or quarter tang. Rambo knives need not apply. Look for at least a five inch blade, and good retention on the hilt. Make sure you toss a sharpening stone into your kit.
3.) A multi-tool. Make sure it has a saw, scissors, and pliers. A leather awl is a bonus.
4.) A sportsman's emergency blanket. Two of them. One for shelter, the other as a blanket.
5.) 100 feet of true paracord. Shelter building, trapping, nets etc.
6.) A container for boiling water. Quart sized or better. I like the liter sized stainless steel bottles.
7.) A decently stocked first aid kit. Leave room for basic medications.
8.) Several large bandanas. For treating wounds, cooling off, and protecting your head from the sun.
9.) A food gathering kit, including snare wire and fishing gear. Just line, hooks, sinkers, floats, and a few lures.
10.) Gloves. A good pair of impact or cut resistant gloves are more than worth their weight. Hard to do anything without the use of your hands.
