subject: First Aid for Camping [print this page] You decide to go on a camping trip with your family or some friends. If you've never been camping or outside of an RV in the woods, do you know what to bring? In most cases, being prepared with a few extra items is better than not bringing enough. For starters, most camping trips require a sleeping bag, tent, a few tarps, and some food to eat for a few days. Essentially, unless you're planning to only go camping in an RV, you need to have enough supplies to survive for a few days. When gathering supplies before your trip, however, one definite item you'll need is a first aid kit.
As recommended in a recent article regarding camping preparation, first aid kits are necessary. Nothing complex needs to be put together, however, but have enough supplies inside to address all basic injuries that may occur in the woods. For cuts and splinters the most common have the necessary ointments and tweezers, and also bring the same types of supplies in case of infections. Additionally, bug spray and sunscreen are two important supplies that are needed in all cases for the outdoors not just for camping.
If you're looking to put together a first aid kit, 1st Aid Supplies has all of the materials you'll need for your trip. Many of our supplies are sold individually, and you can choose from the selection to find the items you'll need for a camping trip. However, if you need a kit to carry around with you in the woods, a vehicle first aid kit is ideal. With all supplies packed into a plastic case, one of these kits can get wet without ruining the supplies and is light enough for you to carry in a backpack or to any location during your trip.
