Given that my backpack and tent are made of nylon, I take a sewing kit. And I take a tiny knife for cleaning fish and cutting the salami and cheese we take for lunches.

Screwdrivers/pliers/wrenches etc. serve me for nothing at all...and multi-tools are always heavy. Why carry around stuff that you don't need--or can't use?
