From just off the top of my head:
>tools are important. Cutting wood, making shelter, making fire. They all require some tool to fashion.
>warmth. Goddamn warmth is important. Socks, blankets, thermals, you can get by in summer without these but in winter Jesus Christ my kingdom for a wool blanket.
>learn how to trap animals using cordage. Learn how to fish without modern fishing equipment.
>calories spent need to be replaced with calories earned. You don't want to spend 1000 calories to earn 300 ya know?
>proper clothing. When I was out all I had on me was a pair of pants, t shirt and a hoody. Learn how to layer clothing.
>documentation is important. You can go to a job center if you've got your paperwork.
>always bring a gun. Seriously. You can hunt with a gun, kill yourself if need be, rob a liquor store, whatever. It's a tool, and an important one. I'm not condoning robbing a liquor store, but it's an option if things get bad enough.
>a good pack, have it ready at all times.
