Carried for a week of camping in Hawaii. Cost under $8.
- 2x alcohol swabs. Clean hands (or scratches)
- 2x tylenol and advil. for headaches when the ear plugs aren't enough
- solar rechargable flashlight. to help find where i left the big flashlight in the dark.
- 6' of elastic (bungee) cording. Tighter knots.
- super glue. better than bandaids and useful for repairs
- lighter that uses any flammable liquid (including alcohol swab liquid) - the silver canister
- small backup knife - for when i loose the big one.
- wire saw for starting up fire to cook fish on the islands. also helped start opening up coconuts...
- Green waterproof canister with carribiner. most valuable item. keeps gear dry, and when snorkeling i carry my wallet or camera in it, attach it to the back of my snorkel mask's strap, and have a camera available when we climb to the top of the islands after snorkeling out. used ALL the time. $20 for 6 of them on ebay. love em.
This pack was used when i wasn't normally wearing pants. Much of
these items i carry every day in a pocket. on the beach, the tin kept
it all from falling out.
