So what are some of your favorite little things that have made a nice difference on your hike?
Something you used more than you thought you would.
Maybe something surprisingly multi-purpose.
Some things are great for practical reasons, others maybe just a nice mental boost.
Smart phones are a given - tons of uses.
Maybe you used dental floss for not only keepin' the chompers clean, but also some first aid and gear repair...
Maybe that little deck of playing cards got worn out and saved you from going insane with boredom...
Buff?
iPod?
Duct tape?
