40 Genius Carry-On Hacks That Make Traveling So Much Easier

39. Miniaturize Your First-Aid Kit

While a first-aid kit is essential, you don't need the bulky pre-packaged version. Create your own minimalist kit in a small pouch or Altoids tin. Include essentials like assorted bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers (ibuprofen/acetaminophen), allergy medication, any personal prescriptions, and perhaps blister treatment. Tailor it to your destination and activities. This ensures you're prepared for minor issues without sacrificing significant space in your bag.
