shit in your touring pack that you added based on experience

toe nail clippers are always a must for me on backpacking trips. a hangnail or slightly ingrown nail is a bitch and they take up no space. they are perfect snips, too.

small folding scissors are more versatile if I had to choose one or the other, but I have both in my 1st aid kit

They teach you that in girl scouts?

lol

real men use tin snips

[PNWbrit]

Real men carry their toe nail clippers on a locking carabiner on the outside of their backcountry pack for ease of pedicure access.

Helps save time in companion rescue scenarios too.

don't forget the cuticle tool!

[stealurface831]

id rather be pain free and look like a bitch than in pain and look masculine.

[pureantigravity]

Yes. And a nice sewing needle and lighter in case you get an impacted nail and/or blister under nail.

Friend of mine put a Costco sized jar of Skippy peanut butter in my pack a few years ago and it took me three or four trips to notice it.

Isn't that one a given? Maybe not for youngsters I guess.

Appreciate being called a youngster

I've watched (well, not really watched, was in the vicinity of) a couple people who had to do their business off the skinner without TP. In both cases curses were overheard while they tried to make snowballs out of Wasatch dry fluffy snow then a whole repertoire of amusing noises were made when said snowball were used. The next 30 minutes were full of complaints of wet underwear and itchy butts.
I'd say the majority of my climbing partners don't carry TP and will use leaves or a rock (I know...). Good buddy of mine will often wear t-shirts with a sleeve ripped off, it's always a hoot to see people's faces when they get the explanation.
Lack of TP is not as uncommon as you'd think.

Little thermometer on all my touring packs.

A Glock (for wolves).

TP is a definite from-experience necessity, as is skin wax (glop stop). I also always have a backup pair of eyewear.

You could just cut your toenails at your desk like any other evolved human being.

Spray lock melt(or what is it in english?) Easy to melt frozen bindings open, saved many trips when my old Beasts or friends splitboard bindings froze from unknown places

I always carry a headlamp, even on a 1 hour tour in the middle of the day. If shit gets sideways and the sun goes down, everything is a pain in the ass without a light. If I plan to start or finish in the dark, a spare headlamp always goes in the pack.

And AAA and AA batteries as others have mentioned. I've gave them out numerous times.

100% on “one more headlamp than you plan on using”, I’ve had batteries freeze a few times

damn that sounds so much more core than the tiny little scissors in my buddy carries...

pro tip if you don't have tp just break off some glop stop and shove it up the pooper for maximal glop stoppage

[Ville]

Sounds much more correct

Oh, and satellite phone.

Urine also works....and you more than likely have it with you all the time.

But it freezes if you are doing laps. Kinda sucks to pee on your skis every time changing mode.

I wasn't calling you a youngster, only that youngsters hadn't yet wiped their ass with sagebrush leaves and scrub oak.

Oh, and satellite phone.

Especially if solo, always have a Garmin inreach mini.

Hah, dude I propably shouldn't drink more than I do It's pretty damn cold up here time to time, 450km above arctic circle.

Thought of another one. Kick wax (if you have a long flattish section in/out).
