Maybe a dagger, just in case you need a backup weapon? It's an occasionally useful tool too.
You'll want a spell component pouch.
You should have a couple of waterskins. The hipflask only hold 8onces of fluid which in not even a single days’ worth. You should also have blankets and a bedroll or you will have a hard time surviving while traveling. Having some rations is also helpful for traveling. If you have an animal companion you might need some sort of food for it. You can use survival to live of the land but that does slow down travel and there may be days that you fail the roll. Also some cooking gear and mess kit would complete your basic necessities. Depending on your race you may need some sort of a light source.
Every character should have a dagger or a knife of some sort. Not as much as a weapon but as a tool. A spell component pouch will also be needed. Most druid spells have a DF instead of a material component, but some do have a material component. A whetstone to keep your scimitar and dagger sharp would also be a good idea. A rope is a useful thing to have.
Also make sure to keep back some gold so you are not completely broke at the beginning of the game. You may need to pay for food and lodging during the game. Likewise you may need to purchase something or bride someone once the game has started.

It's a bit expensive, but some alchemist's fire would be really handy in case you ran across a swarm or a large number of enemies.
I'm making a Storm Druid for Skull & Shackles. Equipment so far:
Leather armour - 10gp
Scimitar - 15gp
Sling + 10 bullets - 1sp
Backpack - 2gp
Waterproof belt pouch - 1.5gp
Compass - 10gp
Fishing kit - 5sp
Flint/steel - 1gp
Hip flask - 1gpAny suggestions for the last 29gp, other than something to fill the hip flask with? ;)
Scroll of Remove Sickness, Air Bubble, Monkey Fish, or Endure Elements.
A hot bath (6 cp) and soap (1 cp). Nobody likes a stinky Druid.

I tend to use flasks if acid (10 gp) instead of alchemist's fire (20 gp) when on a budget or mass manufacture (when used with Akali flasks and a hybridization funnel).
I also prefer kunai over a crowbar. It can be used as a crowbar or a piton without damaging itself. Costs the same as a crowbar (2 gp) and weighs less (2 lbs compared to 5 lbs).
Hybridize Acid flasks and alkali flasks? You throwing salt water at people?
1,450 chickens
Huh. Been a while since I linked Ashiel's Guide to Adventure. I miss Ashiel.
1,450 chickensChickens are 1 gp apiece (UE), and are useless in combat.
Chickens are 2 cp in the Core Rulebook. I assume that for 1 gp the chickens in UE are battle-trained.
Thank you for the suggestions! Lots of options there. Will definitely get some smelling salts and the folding pole (we don't have a Rogue).
Ah, I probably should have specified I'll be on a pirate ship, so stuff like bedrolls and cookware won't be necessary. I'm also not sure whether a waterskin is. The hip flask is there to hold rum and such ;)
I love Alchemist's Fire but am not sure whether that's okay on a ship?
I would still get them because you may go off ship. They don’t cost much but if you don’t have them you will want them. Who do you think is going to be going ashore when you find an island?
Spare minotaur.
