You did not specify what outdoor shots you are interested in.
But just about any outdoor shots can be taken without any other equipment other than your camera.
The basic equipment is your ability to see and use natural light. If you find shadows too harsh, for example with an overhead noon sun, there is almost nothing you can do short of creating a tent over your sitter. Alternatively you can find a shaded area where the diffused light is soft and nice. If you want to use reflectors, again you need to ask if you only want to photograph the face, or the body. If the latter, a huge reflector is necessary.
My approach? I don't shoot model or anything of that sort. I DO make outdoor portraits. Never felt a need for fancy equipments. Nature has provided enough equipments!
