just a knife and your heart is enough...
I carry a swiss army camper in my pocket a leatherman rebar on my hip.. in my pack is a 2 liter hydration bladder. a fak. a bear grylls pack it towel. a poncho. a bag of trail mix. a small survival kit. coleman camp soap sheets. a trash bag. a small head lamp from harbor freight. a few chem sticks. a bandana. a compass. spare pair of socks. a small flash light. and of course some beef jerky and a cliff bar!
I wasn't going to mention this earlier, but it is important. I can safely get along without for hours, but just in case there is a need, I carry extra undershorts and a pad. Before you are tempted to crack wise, I am a prostate cancer survivor and on occasion I have a little surprise. Cancer is a life changing experience but it doesn't always have to change one's lifestyle. I don't go far without this kind of protection, having promised myself that the damned disease wasn't going to stop me from enjoying my life as I always had.Fwiw, a good exercise regime has helped with the incontinence immensely. All the more reason to get outside with a pack.

Doesn't matter if it's pills, pads, dentures, or simply prescription specs or contact lenses, pack what you need, and get out there and live the life you desire.Hat off to you mate
