Time to unwind – breathe fresh air, bond with family and
friends, drive across mountains and play outdoor games. Traveling is indeed one of the most fun
activities ever, but vulnerabilities are inevitable especially with outdoor functions. Safety should be everyone’s priority
and we should have knowledge about first aid, but what do we really mean by
first aid? The term speaks
for itself: the first and immediate care given to an injured person before professional
treatment can be obtained.
Adequate knowledge about first aid accompanies the knowledge
on what essential items should be included in your travel first aid kit as well as their respective functions. Here's a list of essential items to include in your travel first aid kit:
- Adhesive Dressing Tape
- Adhesive Plastic Strip(s)
- Antiseptic Cream
- Antiseptic Swab(s)
- Cotton Tip Applicator(s)
- Eye Wash, Sterile
- Forceps
- Gauze Bandage(s)
- Gloves, (Latex), Pieces
- Island Dressing(s)
- Pamphlet, CPR
- Pamphlet, First Aid
- Safety Pin(s)
- Scissors
- Triangular Bandage(s)
An ideal travel first aid kit should be lightweight and compact, handy to carry around anytime and anywhere. Once you have included the essential items in your travel first aid kit, then worry no more. Travel safely and you’re sure to have fun. Bon voyage!
