Camping Safety Checklist
Camping safety is an important concern. Make sure you tell someone about your trip and provide complete details of where you are going and when you expect to return. Give them your cell phone number and good directions, along with your vehicle description and license plate number. First aid is so important that I made a separate list of items to include in your camping first aid kit.
- First aid box with bandages
- Insect repellent
- Water treatment purifiers
- Personal prescribed medication
- Aspirin
- Life jacket
- Whistle
- Flares
- Gps or compass
