Another version of the list as mentioned in the article is:
1. Navigation
2. Sun Protection
3. Insulation (extra clothing)
4. Illumination
5. First-Aid Supplies
6. Fire
7. Repair Kit and Tools
8. Nutrition (extra food)
9. Hydration (extra water)
10. Emergency Shelter

This list is more general and a bit easier to modify. The pocketknife in the first list would just be one of the Repair Kit and Tools of the second list. I don't understand why they separated Extra food and water in the first list to two items in the second -- probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Use either list, modify as your situation dictates, but don't drop something on the premise that you'll borrow from Peter.
