Camping Lovers Guide

First aid kits are essential items to have regardless of where you are, but it is especially important to have a first aid kit on hand whenever you are camping or enjoying your favorite outdoor activities. The outdoors carry many more risks of injuries from insect or reptile bites, scrapes and scratches, blisters from extensive hiking, or even serious emergencies in the backcountry miles away from civilization. A well-stocked first aid kit could mean comfort from a nasty thorn or it could save your life.

The items kept in your camping first aid kit will vary depending on your activities, but there are some basic items that should always be included. Keep the following items in a common container, like a small duffle bag, a cosmetic case, or a rubber container with a lid. Fishing tackle boxes make nice containers for camping first aid kits that are kept at camp.

As an Eagle Scout, former Junior Assistant Scoutmaster and camp staff employee, some of my fondest memories were the outdoor adventures we had as a young man. But I also learned that ANYTHING can happen in the outdoors. The Scout motto (Be Prepared) is very good advice. And I'm here to tell you: if you go outdoors, you need to take along a good camping first aid kit.

Most people think that when they go camping or hiking they can just grab the first aid kit or box of band-aids from the hall cupboard and that will suffice. Wrong! What if you are out-of-doors and someone falls and breaks their leg? What if you are bitten by a poisonous snake? What if someone gets a bad chill or frostbite? Your little home first aid kit will not have what you need during these medical emergencies. No, you need a CAMPING or OUTDOOR first aid kit.

Outdoor camping supplies include everything that you need to make it through a few nights in the wilderness. This list will include equipment for protection from the elements, cooking utensils and equipment, sleeping gear and emergency lighting. Apart from these there are eating implements such as spooks, forks, plates, cups and knives.

There is also the inclusion of the very important water purification tablets. With these implements you can plan the most fun filled camping trips of a lifetime. A well planed camping kit will keep you safe from the changing weather conditions, allow you to prepare good meals and rest when you are tired, all this and easy portability too. Many campers like to include some sort of entertainment equipment such as a ball game or board game, fishing, hiking, boating and even hunting are all forms of entertainment campers undertake on a camping trip.

"Be Prepared" - That's the motto of the Boy Scouts. And as an Eagle Scout, former Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, and camp staff employee, I can tell you: when you're outdoors, you MUST be prepared for every contingency! That's why the experienced outdoor types (like myself) will tell you: whenever you head outside for camping, hiking, or wilderness adventures, you had better take a camping first aid kit.

I know your first reaction: Grab the first aid kit you have at home. But that won't do. Why? Well, when is the last time you saw a home first aid kit with splints for broken bones, or suction cups and a surgical knife for treating snakebite? The simple fact: you need a good camping first aid kit, not a regular home first aid kit, because you need the special supplies that come in an outdoor or camping first aid kit.

Which reminds me: if you have a youngster in the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts, one of the very best gifts that you can give them is a good quality camping first aid kit. The same holds true for someone who is in wilderness or survival training. It is very true - not marketing hype - that these kits have been known to save lives.

People go camping more frequently during the summer because they know they have all of the outdoor camping essentials they need in the storage shed at home. Some groups might head out with less equipment than others might but since camping essentials are meant to take care of basic needs, people know they have enough equipment on hand to remain at a campsite for a day or two without feeling a need to go home because they are hungry or cold.

Outdoor camping essentials such as heaters would only used at campsites in the backyard or in camping spaces at recreation areas that have camping spaces equipped with electrical hookups. Due to safety precautions, an outdoor heater is unsuitable during the rainy season, but it will take the chill out of the air and warm the interiors of tents that surround the campsite. Most campers rely on fire pits to keep warm and consider these camping essentials as an alternate way to cook meals too. When fire pits are lit, other camping essentials such as a fire extinguisher should be within reach at all times.
