I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Container to boil water would be my first choice. I would make a knife from stone and then all other survival necessities can be made from that. A container to purify and transport water can be extremely difficult to obtain in the wild. Can be done though. A good bow drill is easy to make if you practice ahead of time using a sharp edged rock.
Just remember your rules of 3.
3 minutes without breathing (drowning, asphyxiation) 3 hours without shelter in an extreme environment (exposure) 3 days without water (dehydration) 3 weeks without food (starvation)
And the most important rule. Stay calm, use your head and think it through. Panic kills

There aren't any woods around here big enough for me to get lost in.

All depends on the environment your lost in. You wind up lost in the summer in Utah or Arizona miles upon miles from water sources and civilization. A knife, gun, fire starter, GPS, ect will do you absolutely no good if your looking at a 20 to 60 mile walk between water sources. Without a way to transport it you will be dead in a couple of days if you don't find another source and are smart about your travels.

definitely a good silva compass. i have an ancient magellan gps, but i can't make any batteries with sticks or rocks, and if the earth's magnetism quits working , two boxcar loads of supplies won't do anyone any good any longer. next is a space blanket. (which i wouldn't really need- if i have a compass i'm going home)
