BUILD A FIRST AID KIT

Today I made a first aid kit to earn my Brownie first aid badge.
 
 
Here is what dad and I put in our camping kit:
  • Wilderness medicine book so that you can learn how to do first aid in the woods 
  • Rubber gloves and face mask to protect yourself
  • I grabbed daddy's blood pressure cuff and stethoscope because it's cool and the bag is purple.  Pen lights are cool too.
  • Scissors to cut clothing if we need to see the owwwwy.  Tweezers to pick stuff if needed.
  • Sponge pads and stingy stuff to clean an owwwwy.
  • Band aids and ointment to go on the owwwwy. We picked big band aids to cover the big ones. 2 eye pads for owwwwys in the eye.   Small roll of tape.  Daddy put in a pack of Steri-strips and a Tegaderm dressing in case we might need stitches until we get to the doctor's office.
  • Sam splint (they come in pink) for broken arms and legs.  Gauze to wrap up the splint.
  • Burnaid (small and large gel pack) to treat marshmallow injuries around the campfire.
  • 2 lemon ceralyte packs in case of dehydration.
  • 1 emergency blanket in case we get lost on the way back to the car. 
  • 1 pack of pocket duct tape. Duct tape is good for everything according to dad.
If you have any ideas on other items for a first aid kit, please let me know!
