Add that to a fly and your looking good.

Start a fire with innertube / cotton buds & petroleum jelly also good for chafing and your good to go

I carry one of those wee bags, saved my arse couple of winters ago when I got tipped up in a river crossing and fucked my back, couldn't get up the hill with my pack, so built a shelter as much as I could and climbed in the bag, had my hexi cooker so was able to brew up once every hr, long cold night, rain then snow then clearing and freezing. If lurking in the bush I carry a silky saw, cut wood for a fire, make a splint, build a shelter, make a walking stick, make a bar for hanging a carcass in a tree, clear tracks, so many uses, I wouldn't go in the bush without one!
