Is not a bigger boat better than a few smaller boats in a flood or a storm? At least here the small boats risk sink. We once sailed to Estonia in a stormy weather and many boats had gone under but we had a bigger boat and although the waves were 4 metres at times we were fine. Seaguard had been busy all night and I and the sailors wife were the only ones not seasick or sleeping so we had the engine on the whole night and held the course right. But I thought it was fun, I had no idea people were out in small boats because we saw nobody nor heard anybody. We were probably too far away at open sea in the bigger waves.The USA has the CERT program and I would suggest any reader to sign up and take the course! It's a government course Community Emergency Response Team... I joined mainly because I became educated in what the government plans to do and I have access now to the emails and behind the scenes info and propac supplies in bulk..... but I've always been a Citizen Emergency Responder type person. I believe the CERT course still gives a nice durable backpack with search and rescue tools, and helmet, gloves etc. More advanced courses are also available.
American Red Cross does have good first aid courses (I used to teach some of them). I think taking water safety is good too, and perhaps small boats. You never know when you are caught in flood or at a bay/beach/lake element.... Try some ACA (camp) courses.

While we're talking about it... I recently removed the aspirin from my kit. It's allergic to me and I'm thinking if it is in my kit they might think it's ok to give me one?
This^. Yes, sanitary napkins can be used as expedient wound packing, but 99% of the time they are going to be used normally, and .9% to supplement wound dressings. Variety of sizes is desirable.In training, we call that preparing for the 1%. Personally, I recommend preparing for the 99%.
Leave instructions in your estate trust to sue for negligent death.They don't work. I have had necklaces, bracelets, even someone with me yelling not to give me a certain drug... but NO ONE looks for a medical device/jewelry... nobody. SOME times a nurse would find it and read it afterwards, the calm one who comes in a few hours later to check pulse etc. LOL worthless items. BUT that's South Florida so maybe in other parts of the country... ?
