Extra eye glasses, forget contacts. Hearing aid batteries and maybe extra hearing aids.

Head bucket, flak jacket, boots, bolt/wire cutters, work gloves, water treatment stuff of all kinds (bleach, tablets, filters, osmosis, distillers).

Even a bump in the road is easier to take with good springs and shock absorbers.

Cherri,

Thanks for the great tips. Where do you stand these days as far as your own assessment?

Mike -- though port-a-potty with lots of extra bags would be a good addition.

Shoes! Shoes! SHOES!

There are no shoes currently being made in the United States of America. They all come from overseas, mostly China, S. America or Italy. (Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this is true.)

Buy them NOW & stash them in a closet. Even 2nd-hand shoes (yecchh) are better than nothing.

I thought about the glasses and contacts angle. My decision was to have Laser surgery. I had it about a week ago. Seeing 20/15 in the left eye and 20/20 in the right.

Next stop.. the dentist!!!
