Brillianize plastic cleaner for cleaning film holders and dark slides. Slides move in and out as smooth as you please after use.
Orvis Fly Reel case, holds 8 lenses on Linhof boards.
And you can use it as flux for hard soldering.Truly a miracle product.

I bought a package of the microfiber cloths that are at Sams or Costco. There are about 15 to 20 16x16 inch cloths in a package for about $10. They are soft and lint free and are great for wiping down wet and dirty camera gear. I've even used them for cleaning a lens in a pinch. I always have a couple in my pack. (I like the orange ones as they are easy to see.)
I like John's idea of the cheap shower curtain as a diffuser. Could also double as some type of rain protection. Jim
Agreed, great stuff, we used to use it back in the days of racing to make our pit crews coveralls fire retardant. I still use it as flux for knife making & forge welding in my coal forge.And you can use it as flux for hard soldering.
Had no idea there was a photography related use for it.

For those of you that live in places that have Trader Joe's stores. They have a new and pretty inexpensive line of lunch bags that look like they will make nice 4x5 film holders.
I don't think a 5x7 will fit, but I keep forgetting to bring one to the store with me to check!
Since I'm a night photographer, I have two flashlights. One is a Maglite 3D LED, the other is an LED headlamp. In mountain lion country at night there's a Ruger revolver on my belt.

I'd take a dog along as well.

Preferably a Rhodesian Ridgeback which have the reputation for jumping on a lion's back and bitting the back to the neck to cause paralysis.
--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesian_RidgebackFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a dog breed developed in Southern Africa, where it was used to hunt lions. This is most likely why this dog is known for its bravery. Its European forebears can be traced to the early pioneers of the Cape Colony of southern Africa, who crossed their dogs with the semi-domesticated, ridged hunting dogs of the Khoikhoi.

I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.
