I'm about to set off on the next leg of my trip, driving solo from the states to South America and back. My medical training is limited to what I learned as a scout and a little bit of reading and practice since then. I don't have any specific medical conditions to account for - this is just general preparedness.
My gear is divided into 3 kits.
portable / hiking kit
common items kit for the vehicle
the unexpected trauma kit that I hope I never have to open
This is drop-dead time for anything I want to order and keep in the kit. Any thoughts?
