EDC 5. Health and Sanitation

People made fun of toilet paper horders during covid, but struggled to find enough themselves. Safe in my pre-covid tp castle I opined that in a dire or depressing situation, the luxury of not having to wipe your ass with your hand was very important.

- Carry tissues or toilet paper with you everywhere you go. A little pack of tissues will fit in your pocket, a half roll of tp is light and will fit in your bag.
- Have a way to source, filter and purify water (see Water and Energy)
- Have some basic medical supplies. Bandages, band aids, any medicines you need, location specific supplies. For me that may be a snakebite kit, as snakes are a likely risk daily for me.
- Teach yourself about local medicinal plants, Plantain, willow bark, for example, are everywhere.
- Lastly, avoid the need for the above. Get fit, know your local dangers and risks, avoid doing stupid things in stupid places with stupid people (see EDC 0.).
