what around the house first aid supplies should be taken on a one night camping trip?
Im going camping with my cousins, and uncles on Friday and like always im concerned something is gonna happen to someone or me.Its gonna be a one nighter fire,bb guns,some real old firecrackers that might send a tent blanket up in flames.and last if someone gets there tongue burned with a fajita(little cousins,gotta watch out for um lol).
What is nessecary to take?
bandages and gauze of various sizes
moleskin for blisters
antiseptic creams and ointments
sterile wipes
pain medication
a knife preferably a swiss army one with tweezers and scissors
sunburn relief spray
Hydrogen Peroxide
Neosporin for cuts
If you can try to keep the firecrackers in the trunk of a car or something until you're ready to use them. If not keep them away from the tents and as far from a fire as possible with water nearby.

My mom told me once to always take a knife and a rope, this is what her grandfather told her, in case something needs to be cut or someone is drowning and needs to be rescued.
The well-stocked first aid kit contains:
bandages and gauze of various sizes
antiseptic creams and ointments
sterile wipes and rinse solutions
pain medicine
tweezers, scissors, and knife
sunburn relief spray
anti-diarrhea medicine
Hydrogen Peroxide
Neosporin or store brand equivilant
Also, i don't know what woods you'll be going to but i think poison oak and ointments of that sort are a good idea.

Anything that can't be fixed with a band-aid or some bug-bite medicine should be seen by a physician.
Use bug spray and sun screen, and remember to have fun!!!

bring anything that you would usually take in a first aid kit. gauze, band-aids, scissors, ointment and stuff like that. you can buy pre made ones at your CVS or rite-aid for a couple bucks

sunscreen,bug spray, allergy cream and pills ,alcohol wipes, neosporin , peroxide and bandades. Tweezers and a needles for splinters are helpful and maybe a mild pain reliever of choice for the random headache. My kit has other stuff too but these are the basics.

All the answers are very good, however, no one mentioned a whistle on a cord around your neck. Many people go for a short walk or to a view point, and get lost. Very important to be able to make a loud noise, so you can be located. Best wishes

hi everybody had good stuff to say, i love camping and i do it as often as i can. its a grate way to have fun but don't over think it i all ways keep a small kit that i got years ago at wall mart or some wair like that. and i have not had to use it much.
i all so have a necklace with a bell on it so if i get lost i would put it on. most hikers know what to do if they hear that bell. so like the other guy said bring a Wiesel.
one more thing if your around guns get some ear plugs wile your out, i hope you have a blast.
