Well, the list for carry is about the same as usual:

Shelter - trash bags and nylon string
Signalling - whistle
Blade - lend (unless you can buy a Mora quickly where you are, almost everyone on this forum has multiple reasonable blades available :-))
Fire - Bic plus some kind of tinder
Light - Led light of some kind
Water/food - Bottle of water, puritabs, tin of food plus dried fruit (tin can be emptied and used to cook in. Knife with a can opener would work best!)
Medical - Something to patch bleeding, some band aids and wipes, and maybe a handful of OTC meds (painkiller, anti-spasmodic, anti-histamine)

Not rocket science, but a useful collection and apart from the blade, all pretty cheap.

Big issue is giving the un-equipped tools does not equip them - needs more than a bic to start a fire etc. So they probably need more kit (e.g. if you think they can start a fire, no need for puri-tabs. If they can't, then a tablet might help with dehydration. Likewise food - they don't need it, but it is very comforting and helpful for the panicked soul)

I'd be tempted to print Dougs instruction sheet for the PSK - good crash course if needed.
