You know, going for a hike in wilderness areas or camping areas can be a very enjoyable experience.
Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what we're going to talk about and discuss is how to
make a basic first aid kit for going on a hike through our nations trails and wilderness.
Basically the first thing we want to take is a good pair of sunglasses and a hat, along
with some food stuff like basic snack bars, high protein bars, two or three bottles of
water, energy drinks, or things along those lines, and even maybe some fresh fruit like
bananas. Along with those items, one thing to consider is your basic first aid kit that
can be purchased at your local sporting good store or even drug store. Small first aid
kit that can include things that have insect repellent, and possibly lotions or medications
for allergic type reactions. Some type of water proof matches, a good Swiss Army knife
or hunting knife, and basically some type of flashlight would be in order. Last but
not least take your cell phone and a good map and possibly a compass. Cell phone service
may not be available in the area, but you can call your cell phone service company prior
to going on your hike to determine if there will be cell phone service in the area you
will be hiking in. Having a cell phone can be a vital link to getting help or finding
your way out. I'm Captain Joe Bruni, stay safe and we'll see you next time.
