First AidWelcome to the First Aid section of our website.Let me first start by suggesting a first aid kit, you can buy these pre-made or assembly your own. Important updateSwine flu informationThe news has been filled with the spread of the "swine Flu" and honestly there is no fear for you or your family as long as you wash your hands, clean up your campsite and use hand sanitizer throughout the day. Now is a great time to discuss what you should have in your kit....
The kit may include,
Also consider:
A store bought kit usually works....Personally I think your most productive solution is purchase a pre-made kit and add any item you feel necessary. Once you have a kit you’re comfortable with you the first step to safer camping is complete. You Make the right decisionsThe subject of first aid is not a simple matter therefore we only intend to cover the basics. You may also find that a common problem children have is dehydration and heat related illness. Make sure you keep a careful eye on how much time they are in the sun and plan to have lots of water to keep them healthy. Beware the Trouble of Poison SumacEducating younger explorers on poison ivy,oak and sumac could very well safe everyone a painful problem, if you should have such a problem the best product I found to treat it is Tenchu Oak and ivy combined with their clear calomine lotion it greatly reduces the pain and duration of your infection. Please visit our new page on
Poison Sumac Care
this is a serious problem that some education will greatly help your family out, please try to avoid letting your kids play in scrub brush as this seems to be a place poison ivy,oak and sumac seems to thrive.
A warm feeling and Camp Fire StoriesA worthy mention here is one of the most common injuries camping is burns from camp fires with this in mind teach the younger campers to respect the camp fire and you won't have to deal a painful problem on your next trip. I hope you have a safe trip!
