Taking care of simple blisters or sores from ill fitting shoes, attending to falls or crashes, or repelling mosquitoes and ticks, will make the rest of trip enjoyable. And when major accidents happen, or mistakes are made, first responder assistance and survival kits will help get you to safety. It impossible to foresee what emergencies may arise, the only way to face them down is to come prepared.
