First Aid |
|
For a long time my first aid kit was only a bottle of rum. But since I've get quite better. In Canada when I've said I was leaving for the oceans the doctor mainly said: "tell me what you want and I will make a prescription for it". So I have 4 or 5 different painkiller (From Morphine to lighter one), different antibiotic, syringe, alcohol, band-aid, sew kit etc... |
| |
Others |
|
Portlight are 1/2" special Plexiglas (Better impact resistance and UV protection). |
|

|
For heating a Force 10 (Kerosene). |
|
Solar panel, a 35w that is not fixed. I can move it to have full power all day |
|

|

|

|
No life raft (Against my philosophy, more people die leaving a boat in a life raft then staying with the boat. I prefer working to keep the boat afloat and stay with the food/tools/water and be mobile then jump with nothing drifting in the ocean on a rubber boat). |
