some useful literature to carry along

Please note: Consuming any medicine without a doctors prescription is hazardous. Please avoid such practice and DO NOT hide if you have any health related problems. It is a good practice to let your friends know if you are allergic to anything, or if you are sleepwalker or you have phobias.

And Also note that the list is neither exhaustive nor all-inclusive. Needs differ from place to place and quantity depends group strength. Pack Less and Pack Wise.
