For one thing I always carry a Swiss Army knife which is something a lot of "normal" people carry. This way I have a knife, two screwdrivers, a hand saw, a leather awl, tweezers, and a couple of other little gadgets with me at all times. I also keep a disposable cigarette lighter in my pocket, even though I don't smoke.
On my keychain I have a metal match, a fire striker that looks a lot like just another key on the ring, but can be used to strike up a fire with great ease.
My wristwatch is just a regular digital model that my son gave me. He knew that I would like it because it has a small compass attached to the wristband. The compass is accurate too. I made sure to check that.
In my wallet is my fishing license which comes in a little cardboard envelope. Also in the envelope is a card that holds 3 fish hooks, a needle, and about 10 feet of mono-filament fishing line; an a little sealed plastic bag with some cotton that has been coated with Vaseline. This make an excellent fire starter.
My most important survival tool that I always have with me is my brain. Knowledge and attitude are always the keys to survival. With them your chances of survival are good. Without them, it doesn't really matter what else you have.

Your post is very helpful, thank you. There are many survival fishing kits sold on the market. Many of them are very simplistic in their content and could be helpful for the novice enthusiast. They contain some fishing hooks, a sinker (a heavy object) and some fishing line. See more http://survival-mastery.com/skills/scouting/survival-fishing-kit.html
Thanks for this informative post. I invest in high-quality camping gear and it's easy to see why - our survival depends on these. One of the things I don't forget to bring is my survival lighter and some waterproof matches to boot. Finding the right lighter is crucial since my buddies and I go on long periods of camping and going to high altitude sites to set camp. The lack of oxygen may sometimes be a pain, especially in emergency situation. I've seen a lot of survival lighters and some of the best are on http://myoutdoorslife.com/gear/camping-and-hiking/best-survival-lighter.html
