RTFM!!!

Some way of starting a fire, in case you end up stranded in inclimate weather. I would also recommend one of those super cheap rain ponchos that come in a teeny pack. Doesn't take much room, but fairly versatile.

And of course, always have some water with you.

Keeping emergency supplies is a must even when your just daily driving.
My suggestions beyond flares, lighting, and first aid are:
Blanket, tarp, tools, extra fluids, hat, WATER, toilet tissue, WATER, candles and a metal coffee can, lighters and fire starter(flint rod)gloves and wool socks, cell charger, jumper cables, and keep your spare in good condition

Ummm....beer

Jumper cables, paper towels/shop towels, TP, waterless hand cleaner, appropriate socket for belt tensioner to go along with your ratchet/breaker bar, tow/recovery strap, couple of $ worth of change and probably the biggest peace of mind... AAA membership ;-)
