Hiking and Camping First-Aid Kit Checklist
vosemo.com/outdoors/first-aid-kit-checklist
A store-bought kit is a good start. Add to it for the trip you're taking and the people coming. Check it before every season, since medicines expire.
Tips
- Take a wilderness first-aid course if you hike often. It covers what to do when help is hours away.
- Pack the kit in a waterproof bag and keep it near the top of your pack.
- This list is general information, not medical advice. For serious injuries, call 911 or use your SOS device.
