I would add laminated photocopies of your passport, credit card, and
insurance card, kept somewhere else that is hard to find or get to. Just in
case you loose all your papers, you still have something to prove who you
are.


I'm assuming you will be wearing

The inside of the belt is a good hiding place!

and caring a good rigging knife on a lanyard looped to the belt

There are some places where openly carrying a knife can be frowned upon, or
misunderstood. Check before arriving, and carry in the bag if need be.


Still, lots of good advice here. More comments welcome!
