Dealing with Emergencies When You Travel

Travel Emergency Kit — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:30:59 +0000

Even though you’d not probably thinking about emergencies when you’re heading out on vacation, you might want to give them a second thought. When you’re packing up for your trip, you should also be bringing along plenty of things that will help you avoid any unnecessary trips to the hospital or any undue stress. Vacations are supposed to be calming, not upsetting, after all.

The first thing you will want to do before you travel is to head to your doctor. This is especially true when you have a chronic condition that is being monitored. Have a quick check-up to make sure you are healthy enough to travel and that you have all the medications you might need. Fill those prescriptions right before you go, if you can, and if not, make sure to get a new prescription paper so that you can fill it when you are traveling.

You will also want to pack basic emergency kit in your carryon bag when you travel. This should include the basics: bandages, medical tape, and antiseptic lotion. But it should also include things like anti-diarrhoea medications, pain relievers, and sugary candies. All of these items can help someone ill feel better immediately or at least until they are able to see a doctor if things aren’t taking a turn for the better. You will also want to pack anti-motion sickness tablets as well as an ice pack, tweezers, and antibacterial gel.

When you have a medical emergency on your trip, you will need to get help, so it’s best to learn how to ask for help in the native language. Even if you can’t remember the entire phrase, learning the basic phrase for ‘doctor’ or ‘hospital’ will be sufficient. Point at the patient to show what is wrong, using sign language if needs be.

When you have non-life threatening injuries to deal with, you will want to simply go to the nearest hospital to receive care. If it’s something simple like a cut, you might be able to bandage it on your own. But if the bleeding is excessive or it’s a deep cut that goes beyond the skin, leave that to a medical professional.

Before you leave, talk with everyone who is travelling with you about what you will need to do in case of a medical emergency. This will help everyone be on the same page should something happen, helping to expedite the process and get help quickly.

Put Together Your Own Car Emergency Kit

Travel Emergency Kit — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 08:25:59 +0000

You may keep track of essential things with you car like checking tire pressure and the oil level. But how about having survival items on hand if you are stranded on the road due to a break down or some other emergency? Would you have any water or food on you while waiting for help to come along or if you must abandon your car?

You should at the least have water and you can carry a lot in your car, you can never have too much. If you have a family of four traveling and you break down in a remote area you should have enough to get you bay for at least a couple days till help shows up. You can not get by without water so make this a priority.

Food should be the next item on your list. You can get by for a while without eating, unlike water. But you should carry something in your car. If you want to leave some food in your car at all times check into those food bars that can take extreme temperatures and have a long shelve life. Other wise you can just remember to bring some food with you when you go on a road trip.

A first aid kit would be an essential item to have. You never know when someone may get a cut or abrasion that needs some care. You can buy yourself a ready made first aid kit or put one together yourself. If you do it yourself you can customize it to you or your families needs.

Other items you want to carry can depend on the time of year such as summer for umbrellas or rain gear or blankets and sleeping bags for winter. Flashlights are necessary and maybe a small tool kit for minor repairs. Make sure you have good batteries for the flashlight.

You can keep everything together in a box so you do not have to dig around for anything. If you have a backpack in the car, you can transfer any essential items you would want into it if you have to abandon your vehicle.

Review: PROPORTA Universal Emergency Charger – Travel Kit

Travel Emergency Kit — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 08:05:59 +0000

Proporta’s Universal Emergency Charger Travel Kit includes all you need to keep your iPod, mobile phone, smartphone, PDA, Sony Reader, Nintendo DS Lite, Sony PSP, digital camera etc.) charged and at the ready whilst on the move. This ridiculously handy product charges from any standard USB port and stores an impressive 2500mAH of power meaning that you can recharge your mobile gadget again and again (and again) wherever you are. Features – Charge anywhere, recharge anything – standard USB input and output – Comes with a retractable cable which is compatible with the following inter-changeable connector heads: 1 x Nokia Slim, 1 x Sony Ericsson, 1 x iPod, 1 x Micro USB, 1 x Samsung, 1 x PSP. – Power indicator LED shows when you’re low on juice – Impressive 2500mAh storage (recharge your devices and gadgets several times) – Powerful 5v, 800mA output (enough for even the most power-hungry mobile devices). When it came down to actually charging, I tested it with Sony Ericcson k750i with 900mAh battery and I was able to get 2 and 3/4 charges from Proporta. As far as iPhone charging I managed to get 1 full charge and then I had problems with the device. So if you need battery for the iPhone it can get risky to use battery which doesn’t want to charge your device when you want. This is like a lottery, but any other device is charged properly with no problems at all. Tested on; iPhone 3g [ firmware 2.2.1 jailbroken and unjeilbroken], Nokia N70 [ 2 charges ], Sony Ericsson k750i [2 …
