Map, Compass (optionally supplemented with a GPS receiver), Sunglasses and sunscreen, Extra food and water, Extra clothes, Headlamp/flashlight, First aid kit, Fire starter Matches Knife.

Not every expedition will require the use of an essential item. Carrying these basic items improves the chances that one is prepared for an unexpected emergency in the outdoors. For instance, if a hiker experiences a sudden snow storm, fresh clothes and fire starter may be used to keep warm, or the map and compass and headlamp will allow them to exit the wilderness quickly;
I would suggest sunblock instead of screen, something that blocks UVA & B rays. Also, water purifying tabs are a great asset!
