Creating a Camping & RV First Aid Kit

Posted September 19, 2017 / Last Updated December 28, 2017 Tags: Misc Lists

During our first outing in the RV, I realized that while I do have a first aid kit at the house, I didn’t have an RV first aid kit. Sure I could have just grabbed the one in the house and called it a day, but I would have brought a lot of unnecessary and excessive items. Basically, our camping and RV first aid kit is a slimmed down version of our home first aid kit.

A lot of people like to place their medications and first aid supplies in one bag, I am not fond of doing that in case something leaks, so I have listed it into separate “lists”. I do the same with my hiking first aid kit as well.

Of course, you should prepare yourself by taking CPR and First Aid classes as the First Aid Guides and Pamphlets can only do so much for you in an emergency situation. If you don’t have the chance to take a class before your trip at least familiarize yourself with the first aid booklet in your kit. The last thing you want to do is fumble around reading the guide in an emergency situation!

As always, research the area before you head out as you may need to adjust your camping & rv first aid kit depending on what you may encounter. I know a lot of people like to bring snake bite kids, but unless you have been medically trained how to use one, you can cause even more damage to the person than the snake bite itself so use extreme caution with those!

    Yep, I have one for each car, plus the ones in the house, which are apparently what we’ll use for the Zombie Apocalypse. Mom was an RN, so we’re good.

      I don’t know how either, but there’s a few I’d attempt brain surgery on, just to see if they had one. (did I say that out loud?).

    Good Bridget BUT, you forgot the hemorrhoid stuff. 15 years in the emergency room and I can think of about 100 different things we used it on from bee stings to black eyes-reduces the swelling and inflammation quickly-so when traditional things don’t work or don’t quiet get the job done, break out the Preparation H™ and give it a try, bet it works. Oh, and it also works for it’s intended use if needed.

      That is very true! I know a lot of guys that would put it around their waist line then cover it in saran rap the night and morning before a PT test too but yea works great for puffy anything really lol =) I will get it added!
