Trekmates Tick Remover

The Trekmates Tick Remover is a simple anodised zinc tool designed to safely pull an embedded tick from skin — whether that's a person or a pet accompanying you on the trail. A key ring or carabiner hole lets you clip it directly to a pack or keychain, so it's always within reach even when you're not thinking about it. Usage instructions printed right on the back of the tool are a genuinely useful detail — out on trail, where there's often no signal and no leaflet to consult, you can rely on the tool itself to show you the correct technique. At just 11 g, it's an item you can add to a first aid kit or jacket pocket without a second thought about weight. This is a standalone consumable-style item rather than a complete first aid kit — a sensible addition for hikes in tick-prone areas, where removing an embedded tick quickly and correctly matters for reducing the risk of Lyme disease or tick-borne encephalitis.
