I think if you've found a BOL well then you could get a bunch of things.
But if you're on the road and you have to only choose a few, I think cops got it right to a large degree. Like think about it....
Here's what I'd carry, a small impact weapon like a small steel bar, or hardwood club.
Heavy duty zip ties, or bungee cords that could double as handcuffs in case you need to subdue someone (lightweight and can be used for other
things)
Then I'd carry a basic survival knife, good for all around use plus protection
And if possible perhaps try and find a pistol crossbow, a slingshot, and or pepperspray.
Or maybe a short sward of some kind, as long as it's not to burdensome.
All this stuff combine you'd have ample protection, and most of it is functional for hunting, and protection from animals.
This looks like it could do double duty
