However, when I read the entirety of this thread, I'm sure my list will change. Great thread!

On my "duty belt" - Small knife (sog seal pup elite), swiss army knife, small flashlight (cree), bowie/kukuri (depends on what i feel when I'm bush wacking), ammo pouch, flint.
On me - A few pairs of nitrile gloves, wipes (i hate using leaves), wallet with license etc., cellphone. And whatever the weather requires.

On my person? Extra bullets.... I think that's about it. Everything else is in the daypack. For short little hikes not straying too far from the vehicle? Toilet paper, bullets, phone, lighter.
Not trying to derail but, I always stash the keys near the vehicle, as keys have a tendency of getting lost. Imagine a brutal day on the mountain, soaked and frozen. Get back to the vehicle only to realize that your keys are gone. Yikes!

leaving key at vehicle is wise also if buddy that has the key in his pocket. may not be able to return with you..fall over an edge, or maybe separated an lost now.

Keys definitely at the vehicle, especially if 2 or more people are relying on said vehicle. Could make an argument for packing them on a solo venture, but IMO they're the epitome of dead weight.
