I'm gonna be Captain Obvious with this but whatever you've got, make sure everybody knows how to use it.

Paper map for backup. Does everybody know how to read and use a map?

Fire starting materials. Make sure everybody has actually tried and succeeded in starting a fire with that gear beforehand.

Portable radio, etc. Y'all won't believe this but make sure everybody knows how to change the batteries or charge it up if needed.

These may seen elementary to many of us but consider. Students today are not taught how to write in cursive. I was surprised to learn that when I handed a nephew a Christmas gift list and he gave me that look. So the map thing is a good one.
Come to think of it. My will is in cursive. Will my kids be able to read it?

Potassium permaganate, multiple uses. Anti fungal and can use to start fires, even in snow, with glycol, just punture a radiator.
