First-Aid Kit

A TYPICAL FIRST-AID KIT may contain more items than you might think necessary. These are just the basics. Prepackaged kits in waterproof bags (Atwater Carey and Adventure Medical make a variety of kits) are available. Even though there are quite a few items listed here, they pack down into a small space:

Ace bandages or Spenco joint wraps

Adhesive bandages

Antibiotic ointment (Neosporin or the generic equivalent)

Benadryl or the generic equivalent, diphenhydramine (in case of allergic reactions)
