The waxandcotton cube, one of the best commercially available tinders you can buy,
holds a flame for a long time.Firstaid kit:
antidiarrheal tablets and painkillers: If you get diarrhea on vacation in
Mexico, you’re disappointed. Get it in the jungles of Borneo and you could
be dead. Pain, on the other hand, won’t necessarily kill you, but painkillers
such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can increase your chances of survival
if you have to make your way down a mountain with a small injury or even a
pounding headache. For a really nasty injury such as a broken leg, powerful
painkillers such as Demerol (meperidine) can save an injured person
from slipping into fatal shock. Pack all medicines in waterproof, airtight
containers.
antihistamines: They are handy for allergies, as well as for insect bites and stings.
bandages and antiseptic ointment: An “ouch” kit can help prevent infection.
butterfly sutures: These will hold together deeper and more serious wounds.
prescription medicine: Always bring extra.
