09 First aid on the go
Being out in nature, someone in your group is likely to succumb to injury. Skinned knees, cuts, and bruises are all common. You should definitely have a good first aid kit available at camp, but sending a small individual kit along with those exploring away from the campsite is a great idea. You can reuse old prescription bottles or Altoids tins and put just the essentials inside. By squeezing antibiotic ointment into a straw and sealing the ends with a lighter or heated knife, you can create individual use packages to go in these kits and save space.
