The only thing more important than water and snacks on a hike? A first-aid kit. We know those beautiful landscapes and tweeting birds don’t seem like they’ll cause you any harm, but it takes just one ankle slip to get a nasty scrape. Then there’s poison ivy, falls, and critters.
If you only have a few bandaids stuffed in your backpack, you should consider getting this Hiker Medic med pack that’s only $27.99 (reg. $34.95). It’s HSA- and FSA-approved. You don’t want to be stuck on the trail with a painful rash or snake bite and nothing to treat it with until you get home.
Don’t let a little (or big) boo-boo ruin your adventures
You could build your own first-aid kit for hiking, but you’d end up spending more money on all of the individual supplies. And it’d be far clunkier than this one that only weighs six ounces.
Let’s say you accidentally walk through a patch of poison ivy. Ouch. Instead of scratching all the way back to your car and home, you’ll just pull out the burn gel, gauze pads, and fabric bandages to get immediate relief.
Or, maybe your new hiking shoes weren’t as broken in as you thought, and the blisters on your heels are becoming incredibly painful. No worries—the first-aid kit includes a blister and chafing med pack along with some ibuprofen for the pain.
Getting too much sun? Chapped lips? Dehydrated? Cold? The Hiker Medic med pack thought of every common thing you might need on the trail—sunscreen, chapstick, hydration packs, a space blanket, and more. Of course, you should call an ambulance if you have a major emergency.
Bring this outdoor survival kit on your hiking and backpacking adventures just to be safe. It’s only $27.99 (reg. $34.95), so you can have it when you need it.
