RagnorakTres, you are sent into battle with nothing. Still, nice knowledge of mythology.
First note: please capitalize my name. It's just a thing with me.
Secondly: I apologize, I should read a bit more carefully. In my defense, I was distracted by a topless NewClassic at the time I read it, which may explain my reading "excluding" as "including." A revised list follows:
Suppressed M107 .50 Caliber Anti-Materiel Rifle - I'm sure you all recognize this weapon, the most effective mass-produced military-grade sniper rifle ever made. A good sniper needs but one shot to down his enemy. No more, no less. Of course, sniping is dangerous work, you're alone in hostile territory with a weapon designed to be used at distance. But the enemy can't hit what they can't find....
Active Camouflage Mobile Hide: As a hide, there can be nothing better than almost complete invisibility. The technology exists, it would simply be a matter of implementing it correctly into a pre-existing suit of body armor or hunting blind. If you're interested in the science behind it, Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_camouflage] is a surprisingly decent source, but do be sure to follow the "sources cited" links.
Army Survival Kit - I don't know what else to call it, but this kit (of my own design, developed to allow single survival in hostile territory) contains three days dry rations, a combat/survival knife, a "heat" lighter, smoke dispersant netting, gauze, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pain medications, a reusable splint and roped pinions (mountain climbing gear, roped together so as to be retrievable from both ends). All metal items are muffled for noise reduction and carried strung from the body in convenient positions so as to be easily accessed in situations where they might be needed.
I'm assuming a temperate climate, otherwise the third item would be an Arctic Army Survival Kit, also of my own design, much the same but with ice picks instead of pinions and insulated clothing. Using these items, I can remain undetected for most of the fight and pick off survivors if it becomes necessary. As well, even should someone find my blind and successfully access it, I have a knife and will be able to tell if someone finds me (I'm a very light sleeper). Assuming a temperate climate and lacking information otherwise, potable water and edible plant and animal life should be plentiful, so the rations are more of a "better to be overprepared than underprepared" thing.
