CPR is a very good one, and I'm now regretting that I didn't go into a more detailed meaning on that in particular, thanks for pointing it out.
Any kind of basic medical training is good in case of anything from a skinned knee to a heart attack. You'd be surprised at what can happen out in the field.
It's going to sound funny, but you need someone that you can trust to read the map or at least get good directions. This is really essential when you're checking out those "out of the way" locations. So, a good sense of direction is key.
I need someone that I can trust to watch my back. This isn't a ghost thing, this is because I simply don't trust people. You're going in to a stranger's house (sometimes), and you never know what they might really be thinking. You need someone that you can trust to either help you out in a bad situation like that, or at least trust to get the right people to come help.
Another big one that I've had some experience with is that you need to have a person that's trustworthy enough to not make shit up. This pisses me off to no end, when you have someone on your team that will just fabricate the entire day. They'll tell you stories about what happened while their partner (because no-one goes alone, remember) looks at them like "was I there?"
Those are the major "trust" issues that I like to see.
