Emergency Preparedness First Aid & Outdoor Safety

Be prepared! This is the motto that everyone should comply with when going into the wilderness, traveling, or on a local hike in the hills. Stow a first aid kit and flashlight in your car or RV and be prepared! You never know when it will happen but it will. Minor scrapes and scratches are going to happen to everyone young and old when on the trail. If you motorbike we suggest you pack a personal kit with you at all times just in case.

If you have children or are an elder outdoor enthus iast be prepared with a portable first aid and or snake bite kit. All campers should have a first aid kit handy as you never know when you may need it. Cookin’ Campers has many different models to choose for backpackers, car campers, RV’ers and more. If you do a lot of hiking in areas with snakes, take along a handy portable snake bite kit, it may save a life.

Our First Aid Kits come in different configurations for your own needs. Choose from the Personal Kit to the Weekender series or the Family Pack. We have a kit to fit your travel and recreational needs.

If you frequent bear country make sure you follow the rules and store you food in approved containers. When you’re car camping food storage bear boxes are usually provided at the camp and are secured lock boxes. If you backpack you need to take the container with you. Check out the Backpackers Cache food storage container and secure your food in a Forrest Service Approved bear proof container. You’ll be glad you did! And please never feed the animals in the wild!!

One item all campers can’t be with out is a flashlight. If you’re like the rest of us just when you need it your batteries start to die. Never be with out a flashlight that works with the NightStar Batteryless LED Flashlight! It never needs batteries!! Just shake and shine!! Have a light when you need it!! Throw one in your vehicles trunk or glove box and be prepared!!

If you travel whether on the highway or back in the woods consider a GPS navigation system to guide you. First developed for military use these portable navigation systems are easy to use and more affordable than ever. Stay connected with a Grundig Emergency Radio that has a hand crank to generate its own power. Offering AM, FM, TV1, TV2, and NOAA weather channels. It will even charge a cell phone! Grundig has two quality models to choose from.
