February 16, 2007, Newsletter Issue #53: Basic Tools for Hiking First Aid
Tip of the Week
You don't need a lot of First Aid equipment to keep yourself protected on a hike. A basic First Aid toolkit should include sterile bandages, gauze, disinfectant, and preferably some surgical tape. There's no need to lug around wooden splint planks on the off-chance you might need them. In the unfortunate event that a bone fracture occurs on the trail, any rigid straight object will do. It just needs to be longer than the injured area.
