Well, my intitial thought was that this was going to be a survival scenario in a temperate climate. I had the time, so I made a list based on that.

Hey, we can hope for the best, right?

This would have assumed assume a no ruck, pockets empty scenario.

Most of us would have the lighter, the Leatherman, and a flashlight on us at all times, along with 550 cord laces. Checking right now, I have all of the above, keys with a Photon flashlight attached, coins, cash, ID and credit cards, a Sebenza, a drive on rag, a hat, a multifunction watch, pens, a chapstick, reading glasses, toothpicks, a cell phone, and a Nylon riggers belt.

When I am out and about locally, my assault pack has most of the below, plus a ton of other handy items for travel and life on the go.

1. Butane Lighter
2. Leatherman Charge Ti
3. 100 feet 550 cord
4. Space Blankets
5. 35 gallon garbage bags and Ziplocs
6. Silva Ranger Compass or GPS with spare batteries and an area topo map
7. Water- MSR MIOX wrapped with dental floss covered with electrical tape
8. First Aid Kit
9. Surefire L2 Flashlight wrapped in Spiderwire covered with electrical tape
10. Small Axe or hatchet with stainless steel wire wrapped handle covered with 100 MPH tape
11. Adventure Medical Kits Pocket Survival Pak or Pocket Pro Survival Kit
12. Radio or cell phone

Some of these will carry over. Let me think on this for a bit, I may post an interim solution tonight and try again tomorrow.

I would say that the basis for your requirements would be medical, mobility, fighting, and commo.
