Couple things to add to my previous post. Sorry, keep thinking of different items we may need and not think about. Now, I myself have never worn braces, but don't you need to have regular adjustments or something like that? I wear glasses, but not contacts, do those of you who wear either, have backup glasses? How about contacts and solution? Imagine yourself not having access to either if you needed. For me, I at least need for reading, can't really make much out otherwise. I know some people who without either or pretty helpless,can't see a thing. Just something to keep in mind. Mrs. Prepper
