These are in my backpack for every hike: water; flashlight; tick removal tool; leather gloves; batteries; log sheets; pens/pencils; first aid kit; and pocketknife (with tweezers).

 

Other things I may add based on type of hike (i.e. night caching, inclement weather, rough terrain, etc...): everything else already mentioned plus headlamp; camera; binoculars; bug spray; NOAA radio; and pepper spray.

 

On hikes I also carry, but not in my backpack, a hiking pole and a multi tool (with pliers). On occasion I will also carry a firearm.
