[Ask SN] What is in your emergency backpack?

I've been thinking about this more and more, and would like to learn more from all of you.
Besides the more obvious things like clothing, and first-aid kits, what else do you keep at hand?
  • Battery bank
  • Portable solar
  • Water cleaner (make it drinkable)
  • Heat/cold blankets
  • Long-life food
  • ... what else?

I didn't know SN had a bigger prepper community.
I always have a swiss pocket knife on my key chain (i have this one: https://www.swissarmy.com/us/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Medium-Pocket-Knives/Huntsman/p/1.3713).

I don't have an emergency backpack. I'm not a big 'planner' but I'd like to get better; I tend to spend most of my time thinking 2 weeks out at most.
Prepping in this way though increasingly seems reasonable to me.
Possible good additions to the list:
  • self-defense "tools"
  • actual tools: rope, duct tape, multitool
  • emergency comms, e.g. satellite phone, walkie talkies
  • flashlight

If Internet goes down then 2-way radios will be a high priority item.

Just 12 / 24 words One copy in my head (memorized) One copy inserted into an online blog One copy inserted into a nice picture (steganography) and saved somewhere online One copy in an encrypted USB memory (with TailsOS and with me always) One copy in an encrypted USB memory hidden in a secret place, easy to recover
I don't need anything else.
