As the title says…things I find handy for my angling that don’t come from a tackle shop.
This first aid bag is handy for all my carp care kit, Propolis, forceps etc. I also keep some tic removers in here

Garden kneeler…cost me a quid from the garden centre. Light enough to take stalking, handy if I am fishing off the barrow and am tying a rig with the tackle box on the ground next to me. Also, handy if I have to lean over the bed chair and reach for something in the back of the bivvy, especially on gravelly or wet banks.

Posh tic remover kit…everyone should have one.

Decent adjustable guy ropes from the camping shop
Cheap tic remover…keep in the car

£1.80 builders bucket…fantastic for knocking up a method mix or glugging boilies

Rubber cable ties to hold made up rods together…cheap as chips

Elasticated bands..I use these for holding reels together when rods are attached to a quiver.
Camping poncho..on chilly mornings this is mind-blowingly warm and cosy…well worth looking a complete plum for.
