Outdoor First Aid Kits
Camping is a time for fun with family and friends. It's a time to commune with nature, take in the fresh air and enjoy some time away from life's intense pace. And a camping first aid kit should be an essential part of your camping gear.
The camping first aid kit can be as basic or comprehensive as you need. It comes in all sizes, styles and price ranges. It's a handy thing to have for any outdoor enthusiast. And you never know when it will help save a life.
Whether you're a scout troop leader or just going camping with friends, it's important to think about how long you'll be out in the wilderness and how much room you'll have. Typically, camping first aid kits range in size from 1-10 person to 100 person and up.
The smaller first aid kit is all most people ever need. It fits easily in your car, truck, motor home, boat, backpack or cabin. It contains all the basics; painkillers, ointments, bandages (including finger, knuckle and butterfly), gauze pads, tweezers, a first aid guide, etc. Medium-sized ones would be great for family reunions or float trips. And larger kits might be ideal in campgrounds, ski resorts, or for park rangers and trail guides.
When you're ready to hit the trails, don't forget your camping first aid kit. You never know what nature has in store. And it's best to be prepared.
