Added to my packing list :)

There are sometimes things we might take, that would rarely if ever be used.
But that for a negligible amount of weight are worth taking.
I have a couple of medical things in that "get me to the next town"...
Though I have only had to use it twice on the camino, I would say that the tick key turned out to deliver the biggest bang for the most trivial weight. It weighs not much more than a quarter of an ounce. The two times I used it, both times on...
