As my camper is usually by the water at the sailing club when we are teaching youngsters, the kit gets raided regularly to cater for minor bumps and cuts. Fortunately, there are a couple of nurses at the club who top off my kit with stuff that has gone out of date. Why does an elasticated bandage have use by date? We have a St John Ambulance first aid kit, designed for camping, boating, etc. We also carry a bin with assorted medications; Benadryl, Acetaminophen, After Bite, good tweezers, and anything else we may need. It contains various self-adhesive band-aids as well as gauze compresses, other bandaging materials, ointments, scissors, tapes, tweezers, etc. The box is about 12″ by 10″ by 4″ in size.

On the other hand, I have a significant first aid kit for my dogs, which gets used regularly. I have used plenty of vet tape, tweezers, gauze pads, gauze rolls, antibiotic ointment, styptic powder, Benadryl, baby aspirin, de-wormer, and spare antibiotics and steroids (prescribed by my vet specifically because of the amount we travel). I’ve used the dog kit much more often than my human kit!” – Karen House, 2005 Ram 2500, 2005 Lance 811 Here at Outdoorsy, we want you to get out, have fun, and explore with safety in mind. In this article, we’ll tell you where you can find a first aid kit and what it needs to contain. Where can you get an RV first aid kit? There is also a detailed map on the outside of the kit, so you know exactly where everything is located.

Buying a pre-assembled kit is more convenient. You can buy one online and it arrives to your house. No need to go to the store to buy a first aid kit. Extra prescription and non-prescription medications used regularly (keep an eye on expiration dates) Another important item to look out for is a first-aid reference. A small reference book is especially important for those without medical training who may not know how to use the items in their kit. If you don’t know how to use your kit and it also doesn’t come with an instructional guide, the kit won’t be very useful to you in the field. Our testing process stopped short of intentionally injuring ourselves to truly assess the quality of each kit’s contents. Still, we looked over each kit with care. Not all bandaids and trauma shears are made equal, and poor quality stands out like a sore thumb.I can’t think of a situation where Neosporin would be contraindicated for use on a minor wound or bandage, unless the patient happened to be allergic to Neomycin (rare).” – Dr. John, Official TCM Veterinary Consultant I am a retired physician and I finished off my career full time in an ER. Consequently, I assemble my own kit and it varies from time to time. By emphasizing the importance of first aid training and providing access to reliable resources, you empower yourself and your travel companions to respond effectively to emergencies. The knowledge gained through training, along with the resources available in your camper first aid kit, ensures that you are well-prepared to handle medical emergencies with confidence during your camping adventures. The contents of this kit are extremely well-considered. We appreciate the inclusion of a nice pair of trauma shears and a functional tourniquet. A wide elastic pressure bandage also stands out as a valuable addition. You can even use the elastic bandage you have to stabilize a broken arm or wrist with a splint. This is definitely more of a temporary solution to a much more serious medical injury, but it goes to show how versatile elastic bandages can be. This goes to show why you should have them in your first aid kit.

It does come with plastic tweezers, which I normally can’t stand. But the quality of these seems pretty decent, so you might get along with them just fine. Pros: First Aid Training Refreshers: Use the maintenance and replenishment process as an opportunity to refresh your first aid knowledge and skills. Review the contents of your first aid manual, practice basic techniques, and remind yourself of proper procedures. This helps ensure you are prepared to respond effectively in emergencies. While we highly recommend this compact kit for its overall value, don't expect it to offer the same components as larger kits. It doesn't include extra nitrile gloves or a CPR mask, meaning it offers less personal protection equipment, making it less adaptable to certain medical emergencies. The quantities in this kit are intentionally minimal to keep it lightweight, so it's best suited for just one or two people as opposed to a larger group. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more adaptable, compactable first aid kit for the size, weight, and price, but the HART Health Weekend is a decent low-priced alternative.I have a small boxed first aid kit that I keep in the camper. It’s old and needs to be renewed. I bought it at a sporting goods chain, I think. I want to say a few words on first aid training. Even the best first aid kit in the world won’t be any good if you don’t know how to deal with a situation when it arises.
