 Cheese Wafers Gorp
    These little golden ringlets  make a substantial trail meal when paired with a big, crisp apple and plenty of drinking water.

 

 
2 sticks butter
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
8-ounce package of extra sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup crisp rice cereal


    Set the oven for 350 degrees. Let butter soften at room temperature and mix in flour (and cayenne if using). Dough will be very thick. Fold in cheese and cereal. Drop by teaspoons on a baking sheet lined with parchment or nonstick foil. Flatten with a fork dipped lightly in flour. Bake about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely and package for the trail. Makes about 48. Keep cool for up to one week.

    Everyone is advised to carry a first aid kit. How? What? Where? Most important of all, What’s Inside? The family that founded Keep Going has re-invented the first aid kit and I’m wowed.  First, the kits are complete, right down to a tick remover, finger splint and instant cold pack. Second, kits are designed to be packable, compact, good looking, durable and easily grabbed.  


    One model comes with 106 first aid products. Zippered, durable cases come in a variety of colors and patterns. A Super Kit comes with 270 pieces and the mini kit has 60 pieces. There’s even a Kids Kit with 44 pieces. Best of all, refill bundles are available to make it easy to keep supplies fresh and complete. 

    The secret to carrying a mini-ER  in these cases is to provide only small amounts of each essential. Every item is neatly filed in see-through sleeves arranged in “pages” for quick access.

 
    Keep Going is a small family-owned, Florida business that knows travel, knows first aid and knows about the kinds of emergencies travelers might face on the go.  I  recommend Keep Going for yourself, for gifts and for  everyone who needs a first aid kit for the backpack,  camper, boat, car, cabin or office.  See  (www.)
