Leatherman multi-tool
First aid kit. (2 person)
Magnesium/flint (this stuff will burn a hole through steel)
30' parachute rope (small strong stuff)
space blanket
power bars (usually 2)
Water filter pump
Bearbang/flare pen
whistle
compass and area topo

The way I approach it is that allot of items I have in my pack can be used for multiple purposes. For example my first aid kit has multiple items that can be used for fire tinder all in a waterproof package. That used with the magnesium and flint will start a fire in a short period of time. My multi-tool has allot of good items useful in most any situation. I have spent a few nights alone in major storm conditions a long way from civ. I learned a hard lesson in turning equipment into items they were not built for.

One thing that I find is that I try all the items at home in the back yard. nothing worse than trying to figure something out in the bush when your tired and have little or no light.

Great ideas everyone. I am going to take some of your ideas and try them out.
