PREPLANNING - Tell a friend or two as detailed route as possible, and a deadline after which they immediately send for help. - Plan the route, or plan a specific area where you'll stay. Also deside on a beacon point where you'll try to head to if things go bad, and make sure your backup knows where it is. - Test your equipment well, and make sure you know how to work them and if necessary fix them (you wouldn't believe how many trackers I've seen who bought a tent the day before their trip and can't set it up)
ESSENTIAL SHIT TO CARRY - Water bottle (you can find water but if you have nothing to store it in you're fucked) - Sleeping bag - Flint, matches, lighter (I recommend good flint because no matter what it won't run out) - Knife - Good clothing (water and wind-resistant, dries quickly, sturdy, warm) - Bag to store everything
OTHER USEFUL STUFF - Cellphone if you're not for certain going out of range) - Compass - Watch - First aid kit (including plasters, disinfectant, maybe insect repellant and water purification pills/drops and those tinfoil safety plankets, anti-venom if you think there'll be snakes or scorpions or shitload of bees). - Flashlight or strong ledlight for emergencies - Nourishment (power bars, dehydrated food, dried fruits, nuts etc.)
