What items can you not live without in your camera bag?

That is me most of the time since moving here. Now if I was in northern Arizona it is totally different my bag is packed with all sorts of stuff, and not just photo gear. Where I was going when I was there could end up being one of those 50 mile walks home. I have been what most would call stranded a few times, but I just put on the pack, and start heading towards civilization. I have always found someone that would give me a ride within 20 miles max. Some areas you just have to cut cross country, because you know that there will be nobody else driving that way for a few days, so you go to an area that gets more traffic.
