If you have a mini maglite you can unscrew the cap and use it as a lantern, its quite a nice soft light compared to a headtorch and saves you're main torch for proper work. Talking of such, sew in a loop to the roof of your inner (if you don't have them) to hang it or any other torch from. You could also place a torch between the inner and outer and the inner would difuse the light.

Carry a small bottle of alcohol gel, use it after toilet trips and before eating, can also be used for cleaning wounds, but stings just a tad!!



I carry a small torch in my emergency pack with a load of paracord wrapped around it, good for saving space.

Alcohol gel can also be used as an emergency firelighter

Bring Duck tape...you can't go wrong with it!  ;)
