Zpacks 1g Tick Remover

Didn't think much of this tiny thing until I actually needed it on a hike last weekend. It weighs basically nothing and I forgot it was clipped to my pack until I found a tick on my calf. The notch grabbed the whole thing cleanly on the first try, head and all.

Tossed this in my pack for a week in the Adirondacks and forgot it was even there until my dog picked up a tick. The little notch grabbed the whole thing head-first without squeezing, which is exactly what you want. For something the size of a quarter, it earns its spot in the first aid kit.

Weighs basically nothing, I actually forgot it was in my hip belt pocket until I needed it after a hike in the woods. The little notch grabbed the tick right at the skin and it came out clean in one go. For something barely bigger than a quarter, it earns its spot in my kit.
