WARNING:
The following is aimed at the more enthused Recreational and Professional Psychonauts. That said, IV drug use references are made needles are shown as well as similar medical supplies are discussed. I'm not glorifying it in any way, simply providing a link to safe, clean supplies to reduce risks and increase overall safety. If this goes beyond your realm of comfort, please do not go any further or click on any of the links provided.

TLDR:
This is an excessively long and detailed list of items I've found useful and included in my Go-Bag over the years. I got bored and a bit hyper-focused and decided to catalog everything inside of it to see what I might like to remove, replace, add, or change. This took me down a supply shopping rabbit hole that I figured I would Document so that others might benefit too.

DISCLAIMERS:
1. No acts of drug use or physical drugs are shown.
2. Techniques and procedures are not discussed in any fashion.
3. I do not endorse or encourage the sale or use of drugs or other controlled substances.
4. I'm not providing advice or instructions in any way.
5. I am in no way selling or supplying anything, nor am I being provided with any sort of compensation or kickbacks for writing this and providing the embedded links.
6. I also am not employed or partnered with any company listed in this document.
7. I am not a Medical Professional, simply an Advanced Connoisseur of the Recreational Substance Arts with too much time on my hands.
8. Nothing illegal is shown or provided for in this document.
9. This list is composed of legal supplies and the links where they can be found for a reasonable price. (Some of these items can be hard to find and are niche products, so please share this resource.)

This document is meant to be a resource for where to get fairly priced clean supplies. This is only intended to be a general guide for those who seek to be prepared for all possibilities while you embark on your journey. Hopefully, it saves you time and effort in deciding what supplies are wanted or needed for your kit and provides a starting point for you to explore and expand upon. If you're still with me thus far, please continue to forge ahead. You've finally reached the actual Document!

What I started with:
Medium-sized Electronic Cable Organization Bag I found on Amazon for $25 and repurposed it for my Kit. It does a great job of storing all my supplies organized and clean. It's made of nylon material and is waterproof & shockproof with padded foam, which obstructs water and vapor effectively. Heavy duty and anti-tear material offer all-around protection to all things inside as well as against scratches, dust, impacts, and accidental dropping.
With the addition of a Combination Lock for Zippered Bags to secure and lock the bag from prying eyes, you don't have to worry about someone digging through your bag. It's not indestructible but it's solid enough to delay anyone messing around with it long enough to take control of the situation.

My Kit:
The top compartment is made up of Elastic Straps (picture) and a Zippered Mesh Pocket (picture) for various tools and supplies.
Upper Portion:

3. Pens - for notes while prepping volumetric doses.

7. Capsule Filling Kit - this is also useful for Oral preparation.

All that said, I know this is me being unnecessarily over-prepared but it pays to be thorough and plan for the unexpected, so I go overboard on my supplies and tools.
All supplies are found online through the following websites:
  • Amazon is where I keep a running Master Public Supply Shopping List. The majority of my supplies are from Amazon due to simplicity and speed of delivery. Feel free to explore and add items to the list.
    • THIS IS NOT A WISHLIST. It is simply a Master Public Supply Shopping List anyone can browse or purchase from. There are alternative products and options on the Public Shopping Supply List that are not listed in this document and vice versa.
  • Walmart is oddly the only place to supply Butterfly Needles.
  • ExchangeSupplies.org. I'm excited about ExchangeSupplies.org but curious about the overall cost (currency exchange) and shipping time as it's an EU organization.
  • Nasen.org - Provides Locations of Syringe Exchange Sites and Other Resources.
  • NextDistro.org - Harm Reduction Supplies by Mail

What would you add?

What do you have that I don’t?
