I'm susceptible to bug bites so having Benadryl with me is always a must to relieve itching. It's also great for sunburn as it has a cooling effect after applying on the skin.
Benadryl Extra Strength Anti Itch Relief Gel

Walkie talkies are a must to stay communicated while out in the wilderness. This set has a 3 mile radius and it's also water resistant.
