In my small camping/BOB pack I also carry a small magnetic chess / checkers game. I also have two decks of cards, a folding cribbage set (size of a Altoids tin when folded), a small magnetic backgammon set, travel Scrabble and a small harmonica. I also have ear plugs & eyeshade but most important is the Mini-Disc player and 25 hours of music on six discs. To round things out I have tossed in four thick paperbacks that are old friends(ie I can reread them over and over).
