Wire in the fix it kit

Medium weight “baling” wire is great for all kinds of field repairs, from ski bindings to crampons to gaiter straps. Add about two feet to your first aid or fix-it kit – weight is less than an ounce.  A good source of it:  the little wires you can get from most any ski resort, on which you stick an adhesive lift ticket.  They are free, a good length for small repairs, flexible, and strong.
