Loading ...This is a question we should all be asking ourselves as we prepare for the upcoming warm weather and all the outdoor fun we're going to be having. Fist Aid Kits are perhaps the most important piece of gear you'll take with you into the wilderness.
So what do you need inside? This really all depends on which outdoor activities you'll be partaking in. Different activities will have different sets of hazards. If you are fishing, you may need to bring along first-aid for cuts or pricks from those hooks. If you are camping you may want to be sure you have everything you need to treat burns since you'll most likely have a fire and be cooking. Backpacking and hiking often see twisted ankles. And so on...
If you already have a First Aid Kit, now may be the time to pull it out and restock. You can replace bandages alcohol pads and ointments you depleted last year. You will also need to check the expiration dates on any medications.
Here are some excellent First Aid Kits, ranging from basic needs (lightweight) to more advanced kits.
Adventure Medical Kits - Solo Kit - $10.95 (regularly $17)
Adventure Medical Kits - Travelers First Aid - $21.95 (regularly $36.50)
Adventure Medical Kits - Marine 400 Kit - $77.95 (regularly $120)
No matter which kit you use, don't leave home without it. It could save your life!

The marine 400 I use as a kit on our shuttle bus, and the smaller adventure kits I use in our guide kayaks. They are great kits!
That's good advice. I have a first aid kit that I always take on outdoorzy trips. I have actually never used anything in it (Knocking on wood). Also it is pretty old. I should see if anything needs replacing.
Most liquid items (alcohol wipes, iodine, eye solution, etc) will have an expiration date. Safety Safety.
Coincidentally, I was just sorting mine out again as there are different items to include from winter to summer...
Time to overhaul the survival kit too...
Just referred a few more friends over to your site again Wade.
Keep up the enthusiastic work!

Thanks DSD!
I'm still looking for one of your summit stones. I will leave no mountain unclimbed!!!
Hi Wade,
Just thought to let you know I have been meaning to post on Outdoorzy myself and did so today; and if you would enjoy a Summit Stone, you have my email above, just send my your office address!
A small gesture for all the work you do there for us...
DSD
Hi Wade,
'Their on their way...'
These little stones do get around.....
Did I get my information right when I posted about Outdoorzy?
It has already meant more folks looking your way...

I just spent 13 days in the desert with my backpack & pistol.
Do you know where Golden Spike National Historic Site is?
Look it up on a map in google, then look for Park valley Utah
which is Northwest from Golden Spike.I started in Corrine,
Right next to the Golden Spike National Site. I want to tell you
What I had & what I did. First I want to tell you why. Golden
Spike is where the Eastern Railroad & the Western Railroad met
& the first coast to coast transit was formed.
Anyway, why I spent 13 days in the Desert is I have property
at Dove Creek, which is west of Park Valley & has the same kind
of terrain & I wanted to see if I could survive if I had to.
Water was tough, it only rained once & I filled everything I
could, I scooped up muddy water & let the dirt settle to the
bottom.
I had one of those 2 dollar ponchos in my pack & it became my
water catcher & it worked great.
I have a couple of those filter straws that filter the water
as you drink. I recommend them, they are easy to carry & take
up little space. They are made by Aquamira. Google for the
best price
I ate MRE's, apples, beef jerky & took Lifecaps for 13 days.
The Lifecaps are awesome, all natural, keep your blood sugar
level, vitamins & Minerals even Iodine. Since they are all
natural they are absorbed by your body within 20 minutes.
You can live on water & Lifecaps. They take up very little
room, you can carry 3 months worth in one small pocket of
your Pack.
Lifecaps.net You can get 33% off right now using my coupon
code... Healthcap
I did have some Protein bars also.
Next time, I will fill my pack with protein bars, Lifecaps &
the rest with water. (as far as food goes) My first aid kit
& the rest of my gear would still be there.
I never had to start a fire. The days were so hot that the
cool night was a blessing.
It was supposed to be a 10 day trip but without a GPS it was
difficult for me to always be heading in the right direction.
I thought I was heading more West Than North & on day 8 I
saw the Freeway #30. I was tempted to hitch a ride but did'nt
I back tracked & went West & Northwest.
I do not know what I would have done without that day of rain
& the Lifecaps. I would take fiber pills twice a day, it gives
you a full feeling.
Water... If it was not for the rain, I do not know what I
would have done. Two days I acted as if I had no water with me
& tried to find water, crush roots & grass. If it would not
have rained, I would have run out of water & it would have
been really hard, I need to learn how to find water better.
I hope this helps. I really learned a lot & I will be better
prepared next year. I am going to do a 7 day in October, which
will be cooler & possibly snow. I will tell you about it.
