If possible, get from your Doctor a “medical certification” that you need Special Items during travel maybe especially on the flight.
e.g. medicine and a cane
Thanks for a wonderful article. I always carry an epicenter in my liquids bag and have never had a problem at security. Though I have never had an allergic reaction needing it, they can start anytime in life. There are now less expensive alternatives.
I notice that you have benedryl which is good for less severe reactions.
Just out of curiosity, other than a taxiway collision, what leads you to carry-on vice checked BoB.
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘vice checked BoB’?
Lost luggage never happens?
TSA never steals out of luggage?
In 30+ years of business and personal travel I’ve only ever had a bag permanently lost 1 time, and mis-routed but returned 3-4 times. I know it happens, but I’ve been incredibly lucky.
JMD-enjoying this series and my Amazon cart is filling rapidly (Dude Wipes cracks me up!). Quick question: the SOG Traveler appears to have 2 blades on the Amazon link which TSA would not allow correct? What am I missing?Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I read further on the Amazon reviews and SOGs own description and its TSA compliant but I still don’t know why. Obviously I don’t fly often (as in not in over 30 years!)
They’re not blades – there’s a file, screwdriver and a few other things.
Now I got it. Amazon’s description section was describing the Powerlock line in general which includes blades, not the specific Traveler tool. Thanks.
This is really a superb article. I love these “break out” lists with photos and explanations + background of how the items came to be added.
Excellent job!
Suggest a Sillcock faucet key for your “water pouch”
Thanks – I have a sillcock key in my checked bag. I covered that in my original article, and I didn’t want to repeat too much of that in an effort to keep the size of this article manageable (and it still ended up being 4 parts 8-))
A correction – the Uniden BCD325P2 that I mentioned does NOT receive encrypted communications, but it does receive digital and trunked ones. Sorry for the mistake.
