Going prepared for first aid & safety isn't just about dealing with cuts & sprains. Having the right equipment (like sunblock) enables us to fully enjoy camping. Use this list as a beginning and be sure to make it your own...

First Aid

  • Peroxide
  • Rubbin Alcohol
  • Tweezers for slivers
  • Nail Clippers (great for hang nails)
  • Acetiminophen
  • Ibuprofen (great for sprains)
  • Polysporin antibiotic cream
  • Aloe Vera for burns
  • Q-Tips
  • Bandaids
  • Liquid Bandaid (great for long cuts or going swimming)
  • Compass
  • Bug Repellant
  • Calomine lotion (in case of poison ivy)
  • Baby Wipes (great for on the go  hand clean-ups when  away from running water)
  • Tissues (one for each tent)
  • Dental floss
  • Warm blanket (at least one more per tent than you think you'll need)
  • After Bite
  • Safety pins
  • Scissors
  • Latex Gloves
  • Cotton Balls
  • Gauze

Safety

  • Duct Tape
  • Emergency cash in small denominations
  • Change for vending machines (e.g. washing machine & dryer)
  • Fly Swatters (one for each tent or person)
  • Sunblock (we prefer unscented SPF 30 or greater, waterproof)
  • Whistles
  • Umbrella (one for each person)
  • Sewing kit
  • Cell phone & car charger
  • Refillable water bottles to take on outings
  • Alcohol based hand wash (at least 30% alcohol to be effective)
  • Crank flashlight for each person
  • Crank radio
  • Tarp
  • Matches
  • Ziploc Baggies

Much of the safety supplies can be kept in a compact box that can remain in your vehicle. We have our regular van safety kit and we supplement it with a small box (with lid) of extra first aid supplies.
