At the risk of beating a dead horse here, I'd argue that the 10 Essential Systems List does address needs versus specific equipment: http://www.trailspace.com/gear/guide/ten-essentials.html

For example, #10 is Emergency Shelter, not "Tent" or "Bivy" or "Tarp" or any specific type of shelter, though these are possibilities for meeting that need. What you choose to bring depends on a ton of variables and preferences. It may not even mean bringing a piece of gear, but simply knowing how to meet that need, like building a snow cave.
