Lived on this when I was racing Triathlons. An acquired taste.

when i was a kid there was a cowboy who worked for us. he kept a can of sardines, and a pack of matches in his shirt pocket. this guy would travel cross country on foot with a rifle and a blanket hundreds of miles, preferring it to automobiles or horses. this guy was a god in my 9yo world.

Being lost or just having comforts while you make your way?
The lists above all have to do with comfort and are excessive in my mind. How far you are from the rest of the world is important, but I would not plan to use the junk listed by others. I would rather get back to camp or town and get proper nutrition. Yes I carry a few things to snack on for my delayed arrival.
When you are lost food is not necessary?
Probably water is the main thing to have - how many gallons do you carry?
So my Baja bag is really huge and heavy and is dedicated to fixing a disabled vehicle. I feel it is important to be self sufficient even though my use of that stuff is 80% to help others. Most important stuff in my Baja bag would be a tire plug kit, tire inflator, jump start battery, and a bunch of tools to replace or tighten bolts, etc. The main thing that I wish for is and on board welder. Being to cheap to spend over $1k for the welder will some day require the use of my Inreach. Just got off a trail and a a guy broke a suspension component. it required a lot of wrenching and one guy had a cordless impact drill. Sure did speed up the recovery. One guy out of 25 had that tool. The other failure was a broken brake line and almost all of the 25 had the necessary vice grip to get him home.
Tools are important.

water is heavy. 1 liter = 1 kilo
this is the very reason why folks are reluctant to carry realistic quantities. the rest of your gear is meaningless if the water was left behind.
