Kernel panics MacBook Pro 2016 running OS 10.14.6

For the last few weeks I've been getting kernel panics about once a week. Here's all I can glean from the Console records:

DumpPanic:

com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.crashreporter.writereport.panic

com.apple.message.signature: Kernel

com.apple.message.signature2: UNBUNDLED ||| ((null))

com.apple.message.signature3: UNKNOWN

com.apple.message.result: noop

com.apple.message.summarize: YES

SenderMachUUID: B06097A7-BC28-3FEA-9B9E-5275DBAD8CF5

ReportPanic:

com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.ReportPanic.matchedpanic

com.apple.message.__source__: SPI

com.apple.message.action: not matched and frequent

com.apple.message.panic_id: not matched

SenderMachUUID: DAAA7123-01B4-3C09-AFA8-0ABC0015EF0C

I'm a little worried, because I'm taking off in a week for three months on an island, where I'll be more than a little isolated from my friendly neighborhood Genius Bar.

What I want to know is: how can I ascertain whether I'm dealing with failing hardware? If the problem is just incompatible software, I don't mind the occasional restart; but if my solid state storage, RAM, or logic board is failing, I need to know now!

Thank you. I ran the diagnostics and received the message that no problems were found, so I'm going to assume that whatever caused the kernel panics was not hardware-related. And I'm going to maintain better backup hygiene, just in case!
