First Aid Items To Take To The Wilds

Simon Eller, editor of Bushcraft and Survival Skills Magazine, shows VideoJug users what first aid items to take to the wilds. Helping you to survive in the wild, this first aid kit is a bushcrafter's most important item, so learn what to pack in it.

Step 1: Competence

Make sure that you are well versed in using all the things that come in your first aid kit.

Step 2: Items

Take a selection of plasters, and make sure that they are waterproof.

Always carry some micropore tap, and sterile-strips so that you can effectively dress any deep cuts you may get.

Ensure you have some pain killers, and burn spray

Take a stick of snow fire to seal any cracks and splits on your hands that occur due to the cold weather.

Carry a whistle at all times, to signal for help. Also pack some light sticks for night time accidents, and some alcoholic gel for killing bacteria.
