"Well, when you do finish the airline approved mini-kit do let us know, ok? I have been thinking about your posts and I wonder if the way to go would be to search for a place that that the necessary equipment on every city you plan to visit. A lot of times they have the info on the internet and you can find them and mark them on the map, then you can just make your way there in an emergency and find what you want OR making a list of reliable people by countries and cities that might give you shelter if things do happen.
