tarp clips for you to alter and custom your shelter find them little gems in my gear,and jimnys are awsome in diesel little hill climbers.
Best:
1. Clik-stand (I know some hate 'em, but I love 'em)

Love or Loathe.
I love my Arc'teryx Alpha SV Shell.Best waterproof I ever bought and although seven years old is still 100% reliable and still looks new.
Ben Orford tiny carving knife.I use it all the time and it never fails me.It is also the only one that has never bitten me!
First home-carved saltspoon from a tiny piece of bog oak.I wear it round my neck in case I need to spoon salt FAST.
On the down side.
Gerber pocket locker with a half serrated blade.Huge mistake!Never carried , never used.In car toolkit forever.
Barbour Solway zipper coat and O/trousers.HEAVY and a pain to service , sweaty and uncomfortable.Now sold and gone.
Numerous catapults I never really got the hang of.I kept hitting various parts of my own hand with the bands! OWWWWW!
