First-Aid: Restocking
As supplies are depleted, remember to restock your first-aid kits for the next year packed with hiking and outdoor excursions. The biggest problem hikers will face involving first-aid kits and supplies will actually be the lack thereof from not restocking their kits. It is essential that you restock with supplies as soon as possible, and that any perishable or expired items are replaced at least once per year. Here are some of the things that you’ll want to look for the most:
- Band-aids
- Gauze
- Antibiotic Ointment
- Anti-itch Cream
- Meds and Prescriptions
Those are just a few of the things that you’ll want to look for, but are some of the most important. Again, I can’t stress enough that expired items must be replaced and checked often. See you out there on the trails!
