We are hoping to hit the road and spend a few days camping with the kids and one of the dogs. Like St. John Ambulance, I rely heavily on packing lists. Their lists are way better than mine.
You’ve packed the tent. The ice box is stocked. The kids’ fishing rods and swimming trunks are in tow, and the family is all ready to go.
But are you really prepared for what summer can throw your way?
People often remember to pack extra marshmallows for their s’mores and ice for their beers and wine while forgetting to include basic health and safety items. This summer, St. John Ambulance is reminding all British Columbians to pack responsibly.
Here’s St. John Ambulance’s packing guide to the ultimate camping holiday:
- Emergency Preparedness Car Kit
- Vehicle First Aid Kit
- Complete Toilet Set
- Emergency Survival Bottle
- LifeStraw® Go (Water Bottle)
- Stove in a Can
• Either the HeatStore Survival Blanket or the HeatStore Survival Sleeping Bag
• And for your furry family members, don’t forget the Pet First Aid Kit
