I carry a small pack with a waterbladder. Inside I have a small homemade survival/FA Kit, usually some kind of nutrion bars, a compass, a fire steel, a lighter, some cotton balls soaked in Vaseline inside of an old CVS prescription bottle, some kind of bandana or hat, an extra layer & pair of socks, and my phone (just in case). That's all I can think of at the moment.

Oh and of course I bring some cutlery <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. On recent day hikes I've been carrying my NMSFNO in my pack (while carry on belt when my Rainwalker kydex gets here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />), my rodent solution and a Multi-tool.
