Compulsory kit!

The rest of my compulsory kit arrived today from Likeys, the ultra-race specialists:

- an anti-venom pump to remove poison from the stings and bites of desert nasties;

- a signalling mirror for blinding aircraft pilots when I get lost;

- an aluminium survival blanket;

- a Victorinox Swiss Card (compulsory kit requires a knife: this clever piece of kit the size of a credit card has a knife, biro, scissors, nail file, tweazers and tooth pick); and

- a small waterproof medical kit bag (I'll need to decide on the medical bits and pieces I want to take).

That's all there is to the Swiss Card!
