So... I'm gonna go on one of dems this coming saturday. That is, next saturday.
So, I was wondering what you all had to recommend to take with me.
Here's what I was thinking so far. (I'm going with a friend so there's a bit more extra storage capacity for things to make the trip survivable as opposed to just getting me and my stuff there)
Ostensibly the trip is to last about 2 days and 15 minutes.
Foodwise:
Jar of peanut butter
Crackers to go with peanut butter/tuna (how many packages? a single box of ritz with the 3 wrapped tubes?)
2-4 bags of waterpacked tuna (possibly with some scrounged mayo/relish/mustard packets for tuna salad)
trail mix made more out of nuts than raw carbs
some beef jerky
Partially I suspect I'll be able to get fat & protein cheaper(ish) when doing a stop over thanks to the wonders of fast food and dollar menus.
Drinkwise: Was thinking about getting 2-3 of those >1 Pint, <1 Liter gatorade containers and taking along a thing of packets of instant lemonade and/or tea and refilling the gatorade containers as necessary.
Probably overkill, might not be. I sometimes get dry mouth due to my allergies and interactions between them and my anti-allergy meds.
This was more for just me, so double for the both of us, or he'll do it differently, dunno.
Medswise: Already have:
Anti-diarrheal pills
Anti-histamines and decongestants
ibuprofen
Think I need:
more general indigestion/digestive difficulty stuff (viz. pepto, maybe malox/gas-x?)
motion sickness wossnames
Anything I'm forgetting that you'd like to nominate or caveats/addendums/refinements to offer to what I've already worked out?
My dad suggested getting a large plastic ziplock bag and storing a washcloth and some witch hazel or seabreeze in there for use as a shower in a bag.
