WHAT IS THE FIRST AID KIT INCLUDED?

During a trekking/hiking trip, to handle and help the injured in an emergency, it is imperative to have the necessary tools. Below is information about the basic equipment and tools needed in the First Aid Kit you need to prepare for your trip.

What is the First Aid Kit? Why is it necessary when going trekking?

First Aid Kit is used to set up medical supplies and equipment to give first aid to patients in an emergency. The bag has a compact design, easy to carry around and can hold basic items.

We all understand very well that unnecessary risks can happen unexpectedly. At this time, the First Aid Kit will play a very important role. If a small wound is not treated in time, they will become serious. For more serious and dangerous injuries, such as a venomous snake bite, you can perform first aid in time before reaching a medical facility.

Learn how to use your first aid kit

A first aid kit won’t help if you don’t know how to use its contents. Buy a book on basic first aid to read about how to use the contents of the kit or, better still, participate in a first aid course.

As a precaution in case of an emergency, you need to prepare a phone number to contact someone you know, a phone number for an emergency center or a local service center where you are participating in the trekking. It is also important to understand your personal and family medical history.
