Wekeep a basic kit in the car which includes matches, a couple of batteries, small handheld uhf, emergency alfoil blanket, iodine free water purification tablets, aponcho and a small torch, all in a small watertight container that will fit in a large pocket. Also keep string and rope, an axe, a couple of tarps, etc in the ute.
In my backpack or bumbag I keep somesanitizer, a couple of bandages, stingose, matches, torches, some muesli bars, some needles and cotton, more water purification tablets, batteries, poncho, sunscreen, tinea cream, sunscreen, some of those charcoal hand warmers, flint and steel, a couple of firelighters and a compass with a tiny torch, flint, thermometer, fishing line and hooks inside the back of the thermometer.
Bit overkill, but very compact and takes up beugger all space and adds bugger all weight. I've never needed any of it, but if a situation arises where I ever do, I know its there
