I’m with Rick on this, you can get micro SD card readers which are great for using old cards in or for holding that spare.

Here is the one I use, I like it as you can slide the usb connector in and out, not bad for $3 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6457

I can vouch for dealextreme too, delivery is slow 10-14 days to the US but it’s free and there is no minimum order value!!! Probably spent way too much buying silly low cost gadgets there. :)

For tiny data storage, I have one of these A-DATA Micro SD readers on my keychain. http://www.amazon.com/DATA-MICRO-Reader-microSD-interface/dp/B000VE2PCG/ref=pd_bbs_10?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1217946710&sr=8-10 I keep a 2GB card in it, half of which is tied up in a TrueCrypt volume.

I do have to wonder what you’re planning on doing with a tiny USB drive on your backpacking trip?
