I’ve got the majority of my medical stuff bought.
With about 43 days until I set foot on the trail I am starting to assemble things how I will have them on the trail so I can start learning how to pack and fit everything in. I packed and repackaged my backpack every few days before Costa Rica and Peru before I figured how to fit everything in.
Obviously I have things for blister prevention and care, bandaids, gauze, alcohol pads, ace bandages and so on. Then I’ve got all my sickness relievers like benadryl, nausea tablets, dramamine etc. I’ve put them in individual Ziploc bags becasue packages take up unnecessary space .
I have labeled each bag with the name and dosage. I learned a very valuable lesson in Costa Rica about not labeling your medications. I’ll spare you the gory details but will say what I wanted was a laxative and what I took was an anti-diarrheal, needless to say I had a bad week lol.
Ibuprofen will have the biggest bag of all. On the trail ibuprofen is called Vitamin I becasue you end up taking it so regularly. I am also stocking up on chapstick becasue I am already a chapstick-a-holic and figure I’ll want it frequently on the trail…..and I’m sure 1 or 2 will get lost or forgotten along the way.
Ahhhh we are getting closer!!! Its going to be here before I know it!!!
Trailing the blonde 
What about electrolytes? Are you bringing those? Emergen-C makes those great little packets I always used while running. 🙂
I have emergen-c packets in my resupply boxes and I also plan on getting at least one giant Gatorade per town stop 🙂 Thanks for lookin out! I’m worried I’m going to forget something important.
Oh and in my resupplies I’m including energy gels that I use when I run 🙂 like GU and powerade and all that.
It is getting super close! Wow crazy😁
I know!!!!!! I can’t believe how soon I leave! It’s coming so fast! I’m getting so excited!!!
