That's in addition to the one in your tool bottle, then?  :o ;)

That's just silly.  There's plenty of camping equipment that doubles for that purpose already.  Pretty much anything pointy or inflammable will work, one way or another.   :demon:

Eyebrow tweezers.  Very useful little jobbers IME.

I thought everybody had tweezers in their Swiss Army Knife.

I've found SAK tweezers pretty-much useless for removing ticks.  Potentially worth carrying a "real" pair as well if you have a problem with the little suckers.
Half term's when the traffic becomes mysteriously less bad for a week.

O'Tom tick levers are the business. I get them from the vet.

A lighter. Even if you don't smoke they are great for sorting out fraying tent guy ropes or shoe laces or even starting a BBQ.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Good thought.  I have one of these.  It's thin & fits neatly in my cooking pannier.

Little unbreakable mirror, 99p from Wilkos, useful for all the obvious.
J Cloths, I never travel without a few.  Used for all sorts from getting almost dry after a shower to drying the tent before packing.

+1 for little mirror.  My main use is for the successful application of eye drops, but they come in handy for all sorts of things.

I have a folding hairbrush, the sort with the bristles in a rubber bed that allows them to be pushed together into a tight bunch. The handle has a mirror in it. No good for brushing you hair in, of course, as it's in your hand, but good for other stuff.
If I had a baby elephant, it could help me wash the car. If I had a car.
