Whar else should I have especially when I'm travelling? Thank you.

1. A couple of bandages, preferably pressure bandages. Just incase of snake bites.

2. My first question is what is this kit for? Usually in an emergency kit for things like natural disasters (hurricane, earth quake, etc.) you should have a flash light, extra batteries, (or just get one of those flash lights that charge when you shake it) water, some cash($50 or so) and some food that will not spoil. For a mini kit that may not contain food I would defiantly suggest the flash light, some feminine supplies (tampons etc.) and a small pack of baby wipes is great for those times you can't get a shower.
