In addition to my random things pouch which has proved incredibly useful over the years, I also have a slightly larger “health and safety” pouch. Note: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

This includes:

• • • nail clipper, cuticle clipper, nail file, tweezers
    • toothpicks, flossers
    • q-tips
    • small LED flashlight
    • 2 or 3 instant towels, these work ok and they are tiny and cheap: Cotton Disposable Compressed Towels (100pcs)
    • 1 emergency blanket: Emergency Thermal Blankets (Pack of 10)
    • band-aids; blister treatment, moleskin, or second skin
    • motion sickness pills & ginger drops from the Ginger People (The Ginger People Gin Gins Chewy Ginger Candy)
    • electrolyte/vitamin drink mixes
    • diarrhea and upset stomach meds; possibly Cipro if appropriate
    • bug repellent
    • non-liquid sunscreen
    • tissues, wet wipes
    • Aleve, Advil, etc
    • antihistamine, cold medicine, cough drops, etc

• If I use something up, or think of something new I want to add, I just put a post-it note on the inside of the bag (from my random things pouch) with a note facing out saying what needs replacement.

I don’t bring these, but know that others can find these helpful: earplugs, aloe, thermometer

I would keep these in this bag, but because of TSA rules, these liquids/pastes/gels go in with my toiletries:

• topical antibiotic (Bacitracin or similar)
• hand sanitizer
• hydrocortisone or similar
• bug bite/sting treatment
• a small container of deep conditioner (may be needed if swimming, air boating, etc).

Happy, healthy travels!
