Rather than try to locate a "travel size" tube, I buy a regular size tube of A & D ointment and squeeze some into an empty 35 mm film can for the trail. In a ziplock, easy to hoist in the bearbag. One film can is certainly enough for one for a week, probably enough for a trek.

It's also easy to apply. Take this from one who has had to apply brute force to a tube that has chilled overnight, only to be surprised later in the day by an eruption from a tube that has been exposed to the sun. Moderation in all things is the key, I expect.
