Not EDC but it will redeem the thread.
>Enough water, for 25km I would pack at least two liters if there were no clean sources, I don't use filters and don't pack a stove.
>As food, I avoid carbohydrates including sugars since it causes your blood sugar to spike, the body overproduces insuline and you end with lower blood sugar than before consumption, thus less energy unless you keep eating. Hard boiled eggs, cured meat, hard cheese, condensed milk.
>Waterproof jacket
>Warm layer if required, including gloves and neck buff
>Hat
>Mosquito net if needed
>Small first aid kit
>GPS
>Small headlamp
>Small pocket knife
>A packet of paper tissues
>Fully charged phone in a waterproof case, wallet, keys
For shorter hikes I only take the last line.
Hiking poles or at least a staff help a lot.
