Its always a good idea to have a fanny pack with some snacks, a compass, utility knife, a map of the area (a GOOD one .. preferably a topo map), and maybe a hiking pole.

While it seems retarded you should prepare for the worst ... watch the survivor shows on the Discovery ... they can survive for a few days on a handful of nuts and a good knife ... makes you think in case you get lost ^^
