Forget the Mylar Blankets and get yourself some Wool Blankets instead. They'll insulate and keep you warm even when wet. Mylar doesn't insulate, it just reflects infrared light. It's a nice supplement to a good sleeping bag, and great as a heat reflector inside a lean-to or on a windbreak opposite from you at a campfire, but they're no substitute for an actual blanket.
Otherwise, I would recommend the following:
- Firesteel I have a Firesteel Armageddon and wouldn't trade it for the world, but the LMF is cheaper and gets great reviews as well.
- Bahco Laplander One of the best purchases I've made.
- Stainless Steel water bottle With this you can boil water to purify it, cook food and transport fluid.
- 50' Paracord
- Lifestraw
- 4-Pack of Ponchos It sucks getting caught in the rain.
- 8' X 10' Tarp Improvised shelter, wind break, etc.
- Cotton Twine & Vaseline For making firestarters, tying up stuff and lots of other things.
- Knot cards Because sometimes it's difficult to remember how to tie some knots correctly.
- Emergency Whistles You'd be surprised how hard it is to yell for help when you're exhausted.
- Lansky Puck sharpening stone. I have one and use it all the time. Just spit on it first, make sure you have the correct angle and move in small, slow circles.
