Things I used every day and can be carried in vest pockets were -
eye drops, (revives eyes tired from peering thro' binocs)
lip sunstick,
handy pack of wet wipes,
silk neckerchief,(amzingingly warming) tiny bottle of citronella oil (insect repellant)
and individual spirit wipes for cleaning camera lenses and sunglasses.

Not much to carry but very useful.

As for things I could have done without -
didn't really need more than two of anything as laundry was good and cheap.
Toiletries supplied everywhere apart from mobile camp (soap only)
Insect repellant for room/tent supplied everywhere so didn't need mine.

Hope this helps.

I absolutely does. I keep forgetting to get the individual wipes for glasses in particular. I have a nifty little brush/cloth thingee for cleaning the camera lens, but I suspect that a wipe from time to time would help. Guess I'd better add that to my shopping list for next week.
