Did we talk about first-aid kits? The second year I was on the road, I was at a scenic overlook at the north rim and decided to make myself a sandwich. After eating, I rinsed the knife I had used in the sink and wiped it dry with a dish towel. In doing so, I cut my my index finger badly and could not stop the bleeding.
I had a terrific first-aid kit, but i had stored it in a bottom drawer in my bedroom. Unfortunately, that required opening my slide on that side. Problem was I was pressing a dish cloth to my hand so as to stop the bleeding. There was no one else to get help from at the pullover. Eventually I found an old band-aid in a drawer and put it on tightly which stopped the bleeding.
SO, lesson learned is to make sure your first-aid kit is easily accessible and labeled as "First-Aid Kit" on all sides so anyone can find it. And don't wipe a knife off with the blade facing your finger.
