Jordan, I agree with you. A spare chain is very important to have with you when traveling. I've been in situations where my chain broke and it was a good thing I had my spare chain.

> *       Duct Tape:  This is also called painters tape, it comes in all
> sizes, colors and dimensions
> 
> o   You can purchase them online or in your local hardware store, craft
> stores, amazon, ebay, etc.
> 
> *       External USB Chargers for cell phones like Android which are
> universal, if you have an apple phone you can to make sure in the electronic
> stores you will need something to fix your apple Iphone, or you can use
> other devices. 
> 
> o   These external USB Charges come in all sizes like a round tube the size
> of a lipstick, or a little bit like a wallet or eye glass case. You need to
> plug the charger into an outlet and charge the charger first. Once that is
> done, it is good until you use it. To do this, just plus the usb cord that

> for everyone, from $12 all the way up to $75. Depends on if you just want it
> for your cell phone or also for your tablet, laptops, etc.
> 
> o   Once you use it, it needs to be charged again, but you should get 1 full
> charge out of it, the more you spend the more power you have in it.
> 
> o   Places you can purchase them, if you are unsure go to a store, and ask
> for external charger for whatever device you have to charge. Ask questions:
> How long of a charge do I have before I need to charge it again, etc.
> 
> *  Target, Best Buy, any electronic store near you
> 
> *  Online, same as above, I also like tigerdirect.com; amazon, eBay, which
> ever you can maneuver
> 
> *       Safety pins: (I would also add to this) Safety pins also come in
> portable 1st aid kits. You can get them cheaply at any drug store, but you
> will probably have to put them in your luggage that is being checked, it
> will be removed during security check in. 
> 
> o   Once you are on the ground, take it out of your suitcase and put in your
> backpack or purse. Let's face it we all have headaches, cut ourselves, fall
> down, doesn't matter if you are blind or not. You can pack your own, and put
> it in a zip lock bag, but keep the tiny scissors in your checked baggage or
> they will be taken away. Anything sharp. In the carry on, you can put
> bandages, small bottle Tylenol or aspirin, alcohol wipes (if you are not a
> diabetic, which we have them all the time, you can get them without
> prescription at local pharmacy, antibacterial ointment, bug bite cream, etc.
> 
> 
> *       Unscented and fragrance free baby wipes: You can get these at any
> pharmacy, grocery, etc. Just get the popup ones, get the non-name ones, they
> are the same and cheaper than the huggies, etc ones.
