Tts a tie between my compass and the emergency Bick lighter that I keep in a tied off balloon. Both have saved my bacon a couple of times

[naten]

knife or compass probably

[seadog]

It's not really one thing--my first aid/survival kit--spare knife, lighter & matches, antiseptic, bandages, deet, fishhooks, & a few other useful items in a small dry bag.

I would say either a compass or a fire-starter if there is a likelihood of getting lost and having to spend the night in the woods.
But a first-aid kit if there is a greater likelihood of a medical emergency.
If I had to pick just one, I'd go with the fire-starter, assuming we are deer hunting. Duck hunters might have other preferences.

Compasses (at least two). Then knives (at least two).

When you deer hunt in a Texas County with antler restrictions, you need a good pair of binoculars. Bucks don’t have rulers on their antlers, but the Game Wardens do.

[Trevor Arentz]

I would say take a survival kit somthing bright like a rolled up flag and a small whistle to incase you needed to tell someone your position if you needed help

[Skeeb]

Well I don't know about any of you but I would rather a comfortable seat over a compass!

A good map is amazing, for survival and success.
