Injuries/First Aid

Even with the best precautions, accidents and injuries do happen.  Be prepared if they do.

• Be aware of your surroundings.  Carry a walking stick to help balance yourself and to checking for better footing.  Never step somewhere that you can’t see.
• Pack and carry a First Aid kit.
• Before each trip, replace what is missing from your First Aid kit and check expiration dates on all medications.
