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!
