i'd add some hexi-tabs and some bike inner tube for firelighting in difficult circumstances.
what kind of maglite do you use?
if it's an AA, i'd change it to a LED version.
the batteries last longer and the bulbs are not prone to burning out.
also you can now get lithium AA batteries. they will last longer in storage.

Maybe a small stone to keep your cutting tools keen and sharp? A little DC3 or maybe even a DC4 in a kit that size? Nothing worse than trying to soldier on with bunt tools

Hope that helps,

Bam.

Is that a glass jar?
I know it'll work well as water storage/ sterilizer by boiling but is there a risk of it breaking?

That's his famous peanut butter jar...

How about an LED headlight? I seem to remember you're not a fan, but they really are good if you get a good one, and leaves both hand free without chipping your teeth... Petzl Tikkas come with red filters too for that 'pink fuzzy' effect..

Have you got something to cook/boil in?

I got a cheap LED headlamp from Poundland the other day !! Works good as well (for £1) !! Also has clip on back, so can clip to basha etc


Also, a foil takeaway tub could be a usefull cooking pot, and dont take much space, as foldable.
