first aid kits - Both of these scenarios have the potential for danger
regarding first first help, this usually falls into two categories: Not knowing enough, especially how to render care, and secondly, rendering more care than necessary, or trying to be Johnny Rescue, the paramedic or doctor wannabe. Both of these scenarios have the potential for danger. A personal inventory of one's knowledge and psyche should be explored. Unfortunately this is difficult as many individual become defensive and become stuck in this phase. If you are camping with someone like this, and we all know a few of these individuals, exercise caution in allowing these individuals to take charge in a crisis situation. Another common mistake made by all of us is not replenishing our medical kits or checking expiration dates on medications you are taking with you.
