Do you know how to use a compass and map? If not, a GPS device would be useful. I would probably pack a water purification kit as well.

Water and a way to communicate is the #1 thing if you’re going alone. Always tell someone where you’ll be and that you’ll check in with them at a certain agreed-upon time. Bring something in the way of first aid like antibiotic ointment and bandaids. That’s about it if you’re only doing a day and no night. Bring a cliff bar or something to eat.

You might think “oh I’ll be fine lol” but if you’re an hours walk away and you break your ankle, or slip and hit your head, or you get lost and your phone doesn’t get reception, you’ll be really fukin glad you told someone where you were when rescuers find your ass and save you later on, instead of you dying.

Yeah but dying in the woods alone and having your corpse scavenged by coyotes isn’t fun.
