Nice article Jon. These are all the basics I try to have as well. On your antibiotic list Doxycycline is one I love to have with me for all those wilderness bugs, CAP, and its various other uses. Of course you have to draw the line somewhere, which becomes more difficult when adding a medical kit to your pharmacy, which needs tailored to the situation and ability to carry it, as ounces add up! For example when hunting or at the range I like an IFAK kit, but it’s not part of what I carry at other times.
Thanks for your comment Lloyd. I agree doxycycline is a premium antibiotic that is among the most versatile of all and would be a great addition to my travel pharmacy. doxy is better than azithro for respiratory infections, and covers more bacteria (including MRSA) for skin infections, so could be better than Keflex.

Thanks for your new blog,
It’s always a pleasure reading your thoughts…
