I just bought one of these - hoping it works!
I can’t find the exact product link but I use something similar to this: Insulated Thermal Reflective Tarp -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H6NC8XU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BDBZCbVBCJCA4
It’s as sturdy as a tarp and has those holes so I can put them on the top of my tent, but leave a layer of air between them and my tent (v. important) by staking them in the ground.
Remember, making that pocket of air to create the shade is what turns your tent from a cool retreat into a baked potato
Get yourself a first aid kit. Buy some bic lighters. Buy some cordage. Get yourself a multi tool or simple knife. Get a tarp. Buy something to filter or treat water. That outta meet your immediate needs for a few survival situations.

The nice thing about the Arcturus is it comes with a pouch and you can put everything except the water bottle in the space of a binder. People will just see a bag that looks like it would hold pens or other school supplies.
Depending on your area, watch a few videos on making primitive blades and tools out of stone. Some places really don't have the rocks you would need to make primitive stone tools.
​
The water bottle can be replaced with an oven bag (a heavy duty bag capable of withstanding the temperatures required to boil water, but it isn't preferred.)

What's your climate?
We got a reflective tarp for this exact reason. It helps a lot.
