What's in your fanny pack?

Have you ever found yourself away from your RV on a walk or hike and came across a flower you couldn’t identify, a bird or animal you couldn’t quite make out since it was too far away, or you scratched yourself on a tree branch and needed a band-aid?

You could solve all these problems by keeping a small fanny or day-pack on a hook near your entry door, so that it was handy every time you stepped out the door.

Fill it with a couple of field guides for flowers and wildlife, a small first aid kit, pair of binoculars, sun block, mosquito repellant, a couple of snack bars, package of trail mix, and a superlight poncho or windbreaker-in-a-pouch and you’re set for most minor emergencies. Make sure your pack has a place for a water bottle, too.
