I'd like to introduce a friend of mine called 'The Bone Collector'
At present he isn't able to get on line but has asked me to post the following for him .....

"Here are a few non fishing essential items which I always carry in my tackle box. Some of them have helped me bank fish which otherwise I may have lost and some have got me out of a few scrapes.
Paper clips. Brilliant for fishing amongst weedy snaggy boulder strewn swims. Attach the lead via clip, when lead snags clip opens out and leaves you in a freelining situation.
For the colour conscious you can now buy them with a green plastic coating. Wow!
Plumbers PTFE tape. Superb for protecting threads on everything that screws in. Guaranteed no more stripped threads. Allows you to fasten and firmly lock in position buzzers, front rest, rear rest all locked solid and still with a few turns to spare. 90p from B&Q. Would not be without it.
Rubber bands, instant line clips to name just one of dozens of other uses.
Piece of candle, Besides being emergency light for when your torch packs up there is nothing finer for securing loose spigots. Can also make sinking mono float, wind line through it for trotting or floater work.
Two small pieces of bycicle inner tube for removing jammed spigots. Works a treat saves grabbing and bending the eyes.
Knicker elastic for the Merseysiders who weigh fish in two ways. Actual and 'on the bounce'. Actual 24lb mirror, well done. With elastic, Wow! Look its gone 31lb on the bounce!
Beside food and drink essentials what are your hidden gems in your box?
