With the upcoming vacations most of you are gearing for the vacations. Vacations are not just about putting in some clothes in a rucksack and stepping forth to conquer the world.
Die hard wanderers like Pashatuks have learnt the hard way that there are certain essentials that have to be carried no matter how unplanned the adventure might be.
Destinations can be categorised in 5 categories- Mountains,Seasides,Forests,Deserts and Cities.
Health is of paramount importance once one is out of the home zone and it is not expected that one would have perfect health throughout.
Carrying a set of ones regular drugs- specially for travellers with chronic ailments like ashthma, diabetes, blood pressure, cardiac issues, is always a wise idea, specially if one is wandering in the out-backs.
Apart from these, Pashatuks suggests carrying of anti diarrhoea medicines, paracetamol, antihistamines,insect repellents,chlorine tablets for instant sanitisation in absence of potable water. Sticking plaster,cotton and antiseptic lotions form the final kit
Pashatuks makes it a point to carry common salt and sugar, which act as an excellent antidote for dehydration and leech attacks.
Lemon rind chewing prevents feeling of nausea in high altitudes.
A torchlight, pocketknife,lighter or matchbox, a sports whistle and a stretch of boyscout rope are must haves in the rucksack.
For the more adventurous - a compass to guide(make sure you know how to use it, because the GPS doesnt work in remote areas). Gone are the days when one looked at the polestar as a travel guide.
