How about a camping first aid kit for your outdoor enthusiast? The first aid kit is one of the most important items to take with you on your camping trip but is often one of the most overlooked or neglected items, and campers often don’t realize how essential they are until it’s too late. A good first aid kit contains items for treating bleeding, cuts, bites and bruises and contains protective items such as gloves and CPR. First aid kits come in ultralight and backpacker versions and complete medical kits meant for groups or travel.
And accidents can happen anywhere so specialty first aid kits are also available for those who are engaged in sports such as canoeing, kayaking and rafting.
Camping and hiking first aid kits are available at the REI online store.
