  1. I highly HIGHLY recommend, in order of criticality;
    1% hydrocortisone cream
    bottle of benedryl 25mg tabs
    bottle of aleve.

    You've already got the towel, hitchhiker.

  3. Hahaha...love the list! Reminiscent of so many trips I've taken. Better to be prepared than not, hope you don't have to use much of it. But I'm glad glad the probiotics made it in the first aid kit.

  4. Forgot to mention that this gear list changed rather substantially. I overpacked but by Seattle I had downsized! It was a good thing.
