If you are talking loose items carried with you I would have to say drink plenty to drink.
most important non essential is the camera - you never know what your going to see out there...

Tim, I think charts of some kind (gps/backup gps/charts) as I'd be lost without them .
Non-essential kit which travels with me is the credit card in case there's a sale in Cowes or Gunwharf

Essential:
- Charts/ maps & compass.
- Extra fuel & and an extra fuel line.
- Knife & a small sharpening rod
- An absolutely reliable, submersible fire starting device/system that does not require fine dexterity (matches therefore do not qualify)
- Completely waterproof bags for sleeping bag(s) & extra warm clothes
- Extra rope, tie downs & carbiners.
- Tarp or tent.
Non - Essential, but still really really important (in no particular order, but any 1 makes the other 2 that much better)
- Camera
- Dark Beer in cans or plastic bottles (preferably a good stout)
- Attractive companion

VHF has got to be the most important; covers pretty much all situations (if need be).

Most essential
Common sence
Knowledge of your craft and its systems
Basic tools inc a sharp knife
For those of us with 2-strokes older than an e-tec, a plug spanner and a spare set of plugs.
VHF
Least essential
My Jolly Rodger
Nasher.
No thats me signing off, I'm not saying I'm on the least essential list.
