Being warm and buggy down here: Spare sunglasses, light but tight weave long-sleeve shirt and long pants, hat with a brim, head net, bug juice, sunscreen.

I have cut my insect repellent use my more than half by using a head net. Using the hat, shirt and pants cuts down on sunscreen use. If your near the water sunglasses are very important. A day in glare without them means a splitting head ache and eyes that feel like they are filled with sand.

Because nothing makes a trip more miserable than stomach and digestive issues: Pink bismuth tablets, Imodium, ginger tea.

I try to carry these cures in amounts over and above what FAK/medical kit has. They can save a trip. A large supply is light, cheap and can be given away to other groups.
