After a few tours in Iraq, I carry a tampon or two in my kit. I know it isn't the best compared to state of the art medical equipment but they work...

One thing I've found useful is a H&B tomahawk. http://www.hbforge.com/polled-axes/medium-camp-axe

It shouldn't be an oddball item but evidently is.

Piece of rubber inner tube with one edge cut into fringe slices. Roll it up and put a waterproof match to it. Best firestarter ever made. You can light it and set it on the water and it'll keep burning.

I make my own parang knives and they, too are the most handy of field tools.

Where I live and what I do allows me to test a lot of stuff, and over the years I've weeded out a lot.

Door stop (usually 2). Started putting them in my pack after taking CERT training. Now I have the things everywhere. Even out in the woods, I'm surprised at how often I use them

Sorry, but what would you use a door stop in the woods for? In case you wandered upon a well-kept cabin in the woods or something? For the life of me, I can think of any other use for a door stop in the wild. You could always carry a hatchet or large camp knife and make a door stop out of a piece of wood or something...
