I say again that the absolute essentials need to be on your person, on an operation.

I had a side arm/extra clip, water, bag of reconstituted rice (PIR), basic first aid, strip map, compass, knife, panel, strobe light, survival radio, mirror, snap link and rope for swiss seat.

That's thirteen items all of which I could carry in my pockets or LBE. I also had a light weight poncho. Today you might consider a space blanket. A ball of 550 cord would have been nice.
