First Aid Kit

by Kim Davies

When you go out to set up for camp, make sure you choose a safe and dry area. Here are some things to remember to have with you in a first aid kit:

water proof matches,
small saw made of wire,
block of wood to start a fire,
tarp for shelter,
stove made of metal,
dried food,
teas made from herbs,
plastics to keep feet dry,
dry clothes,
bag made of water proof material, and
make sure the area you are staying is
correctly pegged.
