Survival gear (water, clothing, shelter) for 48 to 72 hours.
Bottom line
Whether the cause is a forced landing or an engine that fails to restart after landing at a remote location, the survival gear and clothing should keep the pilot and passengers alive until help arrives. Always consider means of providing warmth, shelter, water, and food; methods of attracting attention and signaling for help in both daylight and darkness; and treatment of injuries.
