Demelone just started a thread about his wood kit and mentioned he carried lip balm in his Altoids tin. I didn't want to jump in on that thread but thought I'd mention I've had good luck using Chapstick as a rust preventative in carbon steel edges. Easy to carry and it works well.

In case you were wondering, I like the strawberry flavor. It makes my lip so nice and pink.
