Camping first aid kit ... what do you take?

[funnypeculiar]

So far we have:

• adult and child painkillers
• antiseptic cream
• bite cream
• cold/flu tablets
• plasters
• ear thermometer

Anything else we need?

(Going to France, btw)

I have no idea, but think your list looks very useful (off camping at the weekend) and thought I'd bump it in case someone has a brainwave.

On my camping trip i just took
ibuprofen
calpol
cough medicine linctus
tixylix night ime cough meddy
inhaler for coughing toddler
absolutly nothing for adults

i would defo take antispetic cream and plasters next time though!

I would also add duck tape for the tent for first aid which i thought your thread ment....

[funnypeculiar]

Duct tape is a wonderful addition to my list - dh firmly believes in the power of duct tape

I'd also add -
antiseptic wipes
micropore tape and melalin squares
scissors and safety pins (useful for other stuff not just First Aid!)
bandage or 2 and triangular bandage
hay fever medication if necessary

and if you tend to suffer from them - thrush cream/pessaries, athletes foot stuff...I wouldn't fancy my linguistic skills asking for those in a french pharmacy!

Is that to tie you up funny, or your kids ??? That'll make them behave, it works for me

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

Tweezers for splinters
Nail scissors
Arnica
Lavender & Tea Tree oils
Aloe gel
Bachs Rescue Remedy
Wound wash
Blisteze
Throat sweets
Rennies or Gaviscon

I like to be very prepared. I carry a huge first aid kit when I camp in the UK, god only knows what I would take abroad.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

This time for France (more than usual!)
paracetemol and nurofen for all
antihistamine
rehydration sachets.
immodium
disinfectant
disinfectant wipes
disposable gloves
plasters
saline
mag sulphate
bandage
extra inhalers
thermometer
spray plaster for grazes (dd always falls over spectacularly while camping, no matter how big the plasters we bring are her grazes are always bigger!)
bite cream
hot water bottle
bucket

I really hope there will be room for us in the car
