These rugged individualists detest confinement – they can barely stand being cooped up in office buildings during the work week. Their most intense passions are those that put them in touch with nature – hunting, fishing, camping and hiking, just to name a few. But even the most self-sufficient outdoorsman should be prepared for whatever the elements throw his way.

Wilderness first aid kits are indispensable for situations where something goes wrong in a remote area, far away from hospitals and other societal luxuries. The best first aid kits are conveniently portable and contain such valuable items as gauze, duct tape, splints and bandages. There’s no shame in being prepared, and the presence of such a kit inside a camping pack is often enough to ensure peace of mind.
