    A length of small diameter nylon cord. Useful for many things, in addition to tying back errant tree branches so they are out of the way.

    Here's another vote for hand warmers. When hiking I like to use poles; saves the knees from a beating when going downhill with my camera pack, and aids balance, too.

    Ah, of course. There's no e in scotch... I've never been a big whisky drinker, obviously!

    A machinist's inspection mirror. These are great for checking lens apertures and shutter speeds when you are on a ledge or somewhere similar where you can't step out in front of the camera. It will also enable you to confirm that the shutter is closed after you've loaded a holder, but before you pull the slide.

    That's a great idea! I have one, and it's never occurred to me to use it for that purpose.
