You only realize the value of a bandage when you really need one. Your young, aspiring adventurer is bouncing along the trail, investigating the joys of nature. Then boom, a hidden tree root, and down he goes. It’s only a scraped knee, nothing life threatening, but the blood threatens to ruin his white socks and an otherwise glorious day. In the old days, you’d grab a dirty rag, and run the risk of infection. But a simple bandage takes a second to apply and saves the day. The trick? Having that bandage on hand. The First Aid Family Kit provides essential supplies for an accident-prone family of four in almost any condition, from day hiking to road tripping to overseas travel. It’s organized by injury—wound care (burns, blisters, and cuts) in one section, supplies for splints and strains in another, and a small, two ounce, pocket-sized day hike kit that has all the essentials. Bonus features include an insect repellent wipe and after-bite tube of goop that diminishes the sting. But wait, there’s more! The Caring for Children in the Outdoors pamphlet provides great common sense tips on how to cope with common childhood ailments—fever, diarrhea, colds, eye infections, and earaches. The entire package weighs just over a pound, but it’s perfect for car camping. For light and fast excursions, pack the pocket kit for emergencies. Tip: Make an effort to replace the supplies as you use them, especially bandages.
