 Like the tool box we have in our car for minor vehicle repairs, we also carry a travel First Aid kit in case we suffer some minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, bumps and bruises.
 We actually found the bright red case at a garage sale. It was perf3ect -with Emergency written in large print on the top side. And it was...

There are simple multi-plugs and fancy power strips with surge protectors, fuses and even on/off switches of their own.
